Washington, PA Pack

Christie Kelly, Owner and Head Trainer of the Washington, PA territory, is a proud wife and mother of two, who has a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. She is a certified CGC evaluator and a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). Christie first learned of Elissa Weimer, founder of Paw & Order, in 2013 when an acquaintance mentioned how satisfied she was with her training. She joined the Paw & Order family in 2016 as a volunteer because she loved the idea of working with dogs for a living and hoped to someday make that a reality.

Christie has three dogs of her own and one “grand pup.” Paisley is a 7 year-old Yorkie Poo who is a big dog in a little dog’s body! She holds down the fort with the other dogs. Louie is a 3 year-old Brindle Boxer who is the sweetest boy going. He could teach the world a few things about being kind. Louie hasn’t met a human or dog who he doesn’t like. Giuseppe (Joey), a 2-year old Blue Fawn French Bulldog, is a mama’s boy through and through. Let’s just say that it’s a good thing he’s cute! Bub, Christie’s daughter’s dog, is a white French Bulldog, who provides comic relief and whose personality is larger than life!

Christie also enjoys narcotics detection work. She is part of the Narcotics Detection Team with American K9 Detection and is a member of Dogs for Law Enforcement (DLE). She went through the Paw & Order Train the Trainer program, and has attended other seminars, including “Aggression Mastermind,” hosted by Ted Efthymiadis in Nova Scotia, Canada.
