I adopted my pup six years ago. He came with multiple behavioral issues which included snapping at…read moremen when they walked by us, explosive barking at dogs if they looked at him wrong, resource guarding, and jealous behavior. While we were able to get most of these issues resolved through the years, we were never able to figure out why he still occasionally snapped at strangers when they came to pet him and he struggled with low confidence. I opted for the stay and train because my partner and I were going on vacation and figured we'd have to board him anyways, why not see if we could help some his behavior too? They wanted him initially for 5 weeks but said they may keep him longer if it takes more time for them to help him through his issues. I liked that they were committed to resolving his problems and took a flat rate rather than just wanting me to pay week by week in hope that they eventually fix the issues. My dog warms up very slowly to new people so I was nervous about how this would go, but the trainers sent me pictures/videos almost everyday. I believe his main trainer was Grace, but he also got a lot of time with the rest of the team. They took him to practice around their barn animals and even to a local town center where he could be around strangers in a real environment. It's been almost a week since I picked him up and learned all of his new skills. Since then, I've been spending time everyday making sure I reinforce the training. I put him in a down (implied stay) while I make breakfast. I'll randomly tell him to put his paws on weird structures while on walks. I take him to pet friendly stores around our area and practice heel up and down the aisles. At first, he tested how serious I was about making him do tasks. Once he figured out I meant business just like the folks at paw and order, he stopped testing me and behaved exactly like I'd seen in the videos. I know some people will look at the tactics they use and think it's unfair, but we need to change the way we look at this. In the world of dogs, discipline is freedom. When these trainers teach your dog the rules of our society, they're giving them a ticket to exist without stress or fear. I know that I'll be able to take my dog to the brewery more often, or to the garden store down the street. It'll enrich his life without stressing either of us out. If you're looking for a magical trainer that will fix all of your dogs problems for you forever and ever, this isn't it. The folks at paw and order will send your pup down the right path and it's up to YOU as the owner to build on this incredible foundation. The videos they send throughout the stay aren't just cute updates, they're guidelines for you to follow when you get your pup back. Paw and Order is for pet parents who are serious about getting behavioral help for their pup and who want to continue to put in the work to help their pup succeed.
