Day #4 Dog Heat Wave Challenge: Have some fun with trick training
Training doesn't always have to be about obedience. Have fun with your dog and teach them a new trick!
What are you going to teach your dog?
Day #2 Dog Heat Wave Challenge🥵--The cool down🥶
A lot of people use Kongs or lick mats as a form of enrichment, but did you know freezing them is a great option on these hot days!
Soak your dogs kibble and stuff your enrichment toy with it. Add in whatever else your dog likes. Pop it in the freezer and before you know it, you have an easy cool down activity. It's also great for dogs who eat fast or are a little stressed, licking is a natural calming behavior for dogs!
My dogs loves beets, pumpkin, yogurt, blueberries and strawberries in theirs. What do your dogs like?!
Today's challenge: The Hunt
Day #1 of the Dog Heat Wave Challenge!
It's hot outside! 🥵 But did you know cabin fever can happen during the summer too? I don't know about you but our dogs love to be active and they are wondering when they can get outside.
We've got 5 days of fun activities you can do with your pup to avoid too much exposure outside and provide them with some mental and physical enrichment!
Hunting is a genetic attribute that's deeply rooted in your pup. This fun activity takes 15 minutes and gets them using their nose in a way to find their food like never before.
If you don't have shade in your yard, try hiding their bowl inside! We encourage your dog to be on leash and you being a part of the hunt. Don't help your dog too much!
Comment with a photo or video of your dog taking part in a ritual of hunting for their food!
Between the picnics and fireworks, pause and mourn for those who never made it home. Someone's brother, mother, friend, child who gave, selflessly, so we can have all the freedoms we have today.
Rooster, an 11 month old Newfypoo, CRUSHED his lesson today❤️💪
Coming when called... even when chasing something, it's a HARD thing for any dog. So proud of this team and send their hard work pay off!
Goals of off leash freedom are just a phone call away.
Can your dog do obedience when there are no distractions but seem to "ignore you" when real life distractions happen?🙃😫
Our programs are geared specifically to allow real life, practical application.😎
Cash, a recent stay&train graduate, practiced staying on place while we ate dinner🤯!

Do you want your walks with your dog to be enjoyable? Give us a call today to get started on your new journey together!
‼️Sometimes bonding and building trust with a dog is not about treats, or toys, or snuggling on the couch. Sometimes it's simply acting like a dog and having 🚫 expectations from them.
This is your gentle reminder that your dog is just that, a dog. 🐕
Meet Dani our newest student. She came from a tough situation and it caused her to not trust anyone except her new family. She's been with us for 5 days and has already come out of her shell.
Dani's mom and dad enrolled her in a full in home lesson program but added on a mini board and train to tackle some of the harder issues around her fear. She gets car sick from anxiety, she refuses to walk in and out of stores, and she has been kicked out of day care for biting dogs. Stay tuned to see some of her progress!
Fiona has come a long way in 6 days! Here she is, finally letting her guard down, and trusting me enough to rest. Truly rest, there a difference between laying down and laying down relaxed.
Call us today if you are struggling with an anxious, fearful, over-aroused, dog that never seems to chill out other than bed time!
Welcome to training Ellie!
Ellies owner contacted us because she is starting to pick fights with their 8yr old boxer at home. She had her FIRST lesson last night and quickly advanced her place command in ONE day! She just likes to do things a little different🤣
Great job Ellie!
Maple is only 12 weeks old and crushed her very first lesson on the place command!

Knowledge... we are always learning here at Paw&Order. Catching up on old webinars of Nelson Hodges as I prep our "dog apples" for the year.
We don't promise we know EVERYTHING! Humans don't even know everything about our own species. That's why it's important to learn from others and continue our education.
That's our promise to you. If we don't have the answer, we will find the answer. If we think we know the answer, there will always be a dog that proves us wrong... leaving us to find another answer.
We welcomed our newest board and train Murphy yesterday! Less than 48 hours and he's accomplished all of this! So proud of this little dude.

Confidence building with my girl Alexa. At 6 years old, she's never encountered a ladder or slide until today!!
If you are struggling with your dog, give us a call! We can help not only boost their confidence in themselves but help foster a good relationship where they will do things for you that you would have never imagined!
📢Does your dog struggle with objects or activities at home that you can not avoid, like vacuuming?
📢Do they attack the vacuum and/or run away from it?
🌈If so, know that you are not the only one! But it doesn't have to be that way. Let us help you communicate with your pup and show them that life is not as scary as it seems!
📢Star is not following any command in this video. She positioned herself where SHE felt comfortable but cooperated with me when I asked her(Not forced her) to check out the vacuum!
