It doesn’t matter! Paw & Order founder Elisssa Weimer-Sentner completed a highly selective Professional Dog Training Program in 2012 and officially began her career as a dog trainer without any previous dog training experience. Back then, her website, phone calls, and marketing support was all outsourced so she could focus on her clients. Within a year and a half, she was so busy that she had to bring on an additional trainer in order to handle demand for her services. In November 2016, her and her husband re-branded the company as Paw & Order, and business really began to flourish! She now has 6 dog trainers working with her, as well as a full-time office manager, a full-time training assistant, and her husband who manages marketing and operations.
As a Paw & Order franchisee, you will go through our intense training program, where we will teach you the art of dog training, as well as how to operate the business. You will shadow all of our trainers, and you will get hands on experience working dogs that are actively in training. But your education won’t end there. We will invite you back once a year to our annual franchise conference where we will reinforce training techniques and discuss any new methods that we may have started utilizing. Plus, you’ll have access to us any time for support.
