Welcome! I’m Tia Ybarra, the proud owner of Paw & Order Harmony.
Growing up in Butler County, I was always immersed in books about dogs. My passion for working with them ignited when my father introduced me to dock diving before he passed away. Although I didn’t have my own dog, my aunt would drive her Mountain Cur mix from Ithaca, NY, so I could compete as a junior handler.
In 2016, I began my career as a freelance dog trainer, specializing in service dogs. I trained my own medical alert and response service dog, Fizz, but soon discovered my true passion was in obedience and behavioral modification for pet dogs, particularly challenging cases. Finding Paw & Order was a turning point for me.
I firmly believe that happiness comes from a well-trained dog, and I strive to bring this joy to families so they can fully enjoy their pets. I continuously seek further education in dog training methods, as the learning never ends.
I am certified through the AKC (American Kennel Club) and serve as an approved evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen program, a therapy dog certifier for Therapy Dogs United, and a certified judge for W3PO (World Wide Weight Pull International). As a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP), I have attended numerous seminars, including “Training Between The Ears,” “Advanced Canine Fitness,” and “Aggression In Dogs.” My extensive training in dog aggression allows me to effectively address challenging behavioral issues, and I take great joy in helping dogs reach their full potential.
Our Paw & Order Harmony Pack offers the following dog training programs. Contact us today for more information or to get scheduled.
Our trainer comes to your home and works with you and your dog in their familiar environment. Our most popular package offers everything you need to achieve your training goals together.
Your dog will undergo real-world training while in our care for approximately 3 weeks, receiving one-on-one sessions, socializing with other dogs, and honing their skills on field trips.
Our group class focuses on fundamental obedience skills. With a maximum of 5 dogs per class, you and your dog will receive ample attention from the instructor.
All of our training curriculum is customized for each dog, but with our Hybrid program, we can combine various programs (i.e. in-home AND stay & train). Contact us for details.
Limited availability! Our trainer will meet with you virtually, observe and assess the dog's behavior issues, and provide step by step guidance.
We do not hold prep classes, but we can certify your dog to be officially recognized as a Good Canine Citizen by the AKC.
Our favorite service is FREE to our clients - we organize fun activities for our clients and their dogs. Join us at the bar or at the trail, just be sure to bring your dog!
In the Butler, PA canine justice system, the dogs are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: The professional dog trainers, who investigate and solve the dog’s behavior problems; and the dog owners, who uphold the training knowledge taught to them.
