Services Offered

Paw & Order Pittsburgh offers the following dog training programs. Contact us today for more information or to get scheduled.

Most issues start at your house, so it’s best to deal with them in their own environment. As training progresses, we may move the lessons to public areas in order to work with distractions. Our adult program is commitment-based, which means we work with you until all of your goals are met, no matter how lengthy the training is. Learn more >> 

If you are looking for a fast way to train your dog(s) and find you do not have the time or skills to commit, our Board & Train Program may be a good option for you. It’s an intense lifestyle training program where we welcome your dog(s) into one of our experienced trainers’ home for 3 to 4 weeks (or more depending on the situation) and work through all of the issues you are having. Your dog(s) will not only receive hours of one-on-one training every day, but they’ll also benefit from socializing with our dogs and other dogs. Learn more >> 

Similar to our Board & Train program, but not as long or as intense. This is perfect if you are traveling and would like your dog’s obedience tightened up. 

The virtual dog training package works similar to our in-home package. It is commitment-based, which means we work with you until all of your goals are met, no matter how lengthy the training is. The difference is that instead of coming to you and working in the dog’s environment, we will set up an online virtual meeting, observe your dog’s behavior, and walk you through instruction step-by-step.

This is not your typical pet store obedience class! Learn more >>

We offer prep classes and evaluations for the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Program. Learn more >>

We offer prep classes and evaluations for the AKC’s S.T.A.R. Puppy exam. Learn more >> 

We offer a group class to train and certify your dog as a Therapy Dog. Learn more >>

We hold various adventures throughout the year, usually once or twice every weekend. They typically include 10 to 20 dogs (though we’ve had as many as 30), and usually take place at local parks or trails.

Pittsburgh Team Members

All trainers must graduate from our Paw & Order Training Academy, which is a rigorous Train-the-Trainer protocol led by founder and owner Elissa Weimer-Sentner. This program consists of one-on-one coaching and shadowing with Elissa directly, as well as our other trainers. We carefully evaluate every trainer before unleashing them into the world!
