Our Stay & Train Program is a great option for those who don't have the time or skills to commit to regular training. We welcome your dog into one of our experienced trainers' homes for 3 to 4 weeks (or more), where they'll receive hours of one-on-one training and socialization with other dogs.

We also offer a virtual dog training package, which is similar to our in-home package, but online. We'll set up a virtual meeting, observe your dog's behavior, and walk you through instruction step-by-step. This is a great option for those who can't make it to our in-person training sessions.

Whether you're looking to train your dog for obedience, therapy work, or just basic manners, we've got you covered. Our prep classes and evaluations for the AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Program and S.T.A.R. Puppy exam are designed to help you and your dog succeed.

We also offer group classes for therapy dog training, where you and your dog can learn the skills you need to become a certified therapy team. Our classes are fun, engaging, and tailored to your needs.

Our experienced trainers are passionate about helping you and your dog achieve your goals. We offer a range of training services, including obedience classes, puppy classes, and intermediate classes. Our prices are competitive, with six classes available for $100, or twelve classes for $180. Additional classes are available for $20 each.

Understanding Our Methods

At Paw and Order Dog Training in Pittsburgh, we use a combination of positive reinforcement techniques and desensitization to help dogs overcome their fears and anxieties.

We focus on rewarding good behavior, rather than punishing bad behavior, which is a more effective and humane approach to training.

Our trainers are experienced and certified professionals who use a variety of tools and techniques to create a customized training plan for each dog.

By breaking complex behaviors into smaller, manageable steps, we can help dogs learn and retain new skills more easily.

This approach has been shown to be highly effective in addressing common issues like barking, chewing, and separation anxiety.

Basic Obedience

Our basic obedience courses are designed to lay the foundation for a strong bond between you and your dog. They cover the essentials of obedience, including sit, down, leave it, and loose leash walking.

These classes meet for one hour, each week, for 7 weeks. This consistent schedule allows for steady progress and helps your dog absorb the new skills.

One of the unique aspects of our basic obedience courses is the inclusion of off-leash socialization in our Puppy Manners class. This is a valuable opportunity for puppies to interact with other dogs in a controlled environment.

Here are some of the specific courses offered in our basic obedience program:

  • Puppy Manners 2
  • Adult Manners 2
  • Bully Breed Manners 2

What Is an E-Collar?

An e-collar is a collar with a stimulation mechanism that's controlled by a remote, allowing you to maintain control of your dog from up to 400 yards.

The remote gives your dog a lot of freedom and saves you from worrying about them running off.

It's not used as a punishment or a "shock" device, but rather as a training tool to get your dog's attention and keep them focused on listening to you.

The e-collar produces a subtle electrical current between two contact points on the collar, similar to a phone on vibrate to get your attention.

This type of collar was previously used as a "shock collar" by inexperienced dog owners, but it's now used as a proven training method that doesn't involve "shocking" your dog into submission.

In fact, top agencies like Las Vegas K9 have switched to using e-collars on their service dogs, and they've seen significant improvements in obedience and performance.

The e-collar is an essential tool for many top trainers and agencies, including law enforcement, military, and search and rescue teams.
