Paw & Order Washington Reviews

I had a wonderful dog training experience with Christie! My dog went from being an anxious, obnoxious barking dog when someone came to my door, or into my home to now being calm and well behaved (yet still excited). He no longer jumps on people and stays where I tell him to stay for as long as I need him to. He is still not a good traveler but he’s made progress! Highly recommend Paw & Order. Appreciate the variety of training experiences we had, at home, out walking throughout a neighborhood (heavily populated with dogs) to short jaunts in the car including behavior training in an upscale coffee shop.

We are so happy we decided to have Christy help Schutzen. Before his stay with her, Schutzen was in a constant state of anxiety... he was so stressed that he didn't even want to eat or sleep, and he was very scared of other dogs. It was heartbreaking to see him like that. Thanks to Christy's dedication and expertise, Schutzen is now doing great, and has returned to his happy, playful self. Christy worked hard to help him, and we truly appreciate all of her efforts. She also provided us with valuable guidance to continue Schutzen’s training at home, including a guide, techniques to help him relax, checking in with us, and answering our questions! Jay and I are fully committed to continuing Schutzen’s training because he deserves to be happy. Thank you Christy!

I can’t express how thrilled I am with the incredible experience my dog Remi had at Paw & Order Dog Training. Under the expert guidance of Christie, Remi went through the “Stay and Train” program and the results have been beyond my expectations. From the very first consultation, Christie’s deep understanding of canine behavior and her general passion for dogs was evident. She took the time to get to know Remi and tailor the training to his unique personality and needs. Remi returned home with manners and confidence. Christie’s communication throughout the program was stellar. She kept me updated on Remi’s progress with regular reports, pictures and videos. If you are looking for a skilled, compassionate and results-driven trainer please reach out to Christie at Paw and Order Dog Training. You wont be disappointed.

We are working with Paw and Order with our large dog and couldn’t be happier with the results! The mix of positive reinforcement and marking negative behaviors is resulting in a dog I can trust. Communication is excellent and I feel that my trainer cares about my family and my dog. In addition, we are provided handouts as a resource after training sessions to review and reiterate the nuances of the situation. The mix of in home and off site visits helps us address training issues we experience in our day to day lives and expose our dog to many different situations and apply our training in the real world. Our dog is happy and gets to do things like going on trips, eating in restaurants, and attending events because his behavior is on point and he knows the protocol we have learned! We would not have the dog we have without their help!

Christie is amazing. Our puppy went from a wild zoomie boy to a well mannered boy! She wants your dog to succeed. When our puppy came home, he was not quite ready. She had no problem taking him back and training him until he was better prepared to be home. I highly recommend her!

My wife and I adopted a rescue dog in December of 2023. He is a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix and came with a few aggression issues about visitors to the house. We didn’t have any useful experience with this issue and at 108 pounds, he was too big to ignore it. We found Christie online and scheduled an initial evaluation. She came to the house and spent time with the newly named Cody and we decided that he was a good candidate for home training. Christie came to the house and worked with our schedule and showed us how to work with Cody to modify the behavior. He learned all of the basic commands and began to be far less aggressive. The big test was when she took us to Home Depot and he behaved like a perfect gentleman. Our final session was at Christie’s home and we found that he has no dog aggression. We can now walk him around the neighborhood without worrying and enjoy the walk with no pulling. I would recommend Christie without hesitation to anyone that needs help training a dog.

We did the stay and train with Christie and it exceeded our expectations. Her and her husband sent me multiple videos and pictures daily. Our boy had a lot of anxiety and has come so far. Christie also came to our house to help work on some small issues we had once he came back home.

We did the hybrid program with Christie for our bernedoodle puppy Penny and couldn’t be more pleased! Penny was timid in new places and needed a lot of work on obedience. After two weeks with Christie she was a whole new dog, she’s very well behaved and much more confident. We will be using Christie for training with all of our future dogs!

We had the pleasure of working with Madi to help us train Sadie. Although we have had well behaved dogs in the past, Sadie was a challenge! Madi guided us and always was available to assist with our in home training! We have a different puppy today because of Paw & Order. Thank you so much!!

Paw and order is a great training program if you are serious about training your dog. It was extremely professional while also being fun. I did the at home option and it was amazing. The lessons are easy to follow and they do not overwhelm you. You also get a post lesson guide that you can always refer to, which is very helpful. The program is also flexible, you can ask for certain things you would like your dog to learn. The dogs also have a great time with it because you can reward them with treats or praise when they start learning their new skills. I saw instant results with my dogs, and they continue to make improvements every week. I would highly recommend this program.

Christie worked with my dog on his anxiety and obedience skills, and he is doing so well with me at home so far! Before, I wasn’t able to walk him in public places, and now he has been able to go on walks near people, animals, bikes, cars, and so much more that he wasn't able to before! I also feel safe around him now and can tell he’s able to trust me more too again. Most of all, he is the same spirited pup I dropped off, just better trained! Christie and her team truly cared for my little guy and that meant the world.

This was the most amazing experience. Paw and Order was able to accomplish what others couldn’t with my dog. I have an aggressive dog due to fear and low confidence. Not only were the trainers able to help correct this issue, my dog is truly so much better at home as well. I got more than I bargained for. I advise anyone looking for dog training from basic training to advanced issues to contact Paw and Order!!

Exceeds expectations!! They scheduled our sessions quickly per my request. Kara is a magnificent trainer who managed to get me and my pup flight ready in a matter of weeks! She continued working with us virtually with as much enthusiasm as if we were in-person. She is honest, transparent, and ALWAYS puts the dog first. She has given us invaluable training and I couldn’t be more grateful to her and Paw & Order for their professionalism and expertise. 🐾

After having several good, bad, and mediocre experiences with a well known pet store's training, being led and instructed by Christie and Madi with Paw and Order Washington was a breath of fresh air. They are both incredibly compassionate, patient, and understanding (seriously... I didn't see an ounce of frustration or irritability toward human or animal, which is HUGE in my opinion) but also direct and clear in their approach. Their methods seem to be effective partly because they adjust based on the needs and personality of the dog. I love that each dog received individual attention in every class and all saw such great improvement! I am very pleased and already have plans to work with them again in the very near future.

I highly recommend the obedience group training, after completing it with my Huskypoo Khaleesi! Madison and Christie, the trainers, have an impressive level of expertise and were always ready to address any specific concerns we had. The knowledge gained throughout the program was invaluable, and equipped me with the necessary tools to effectively address and correct unwanted behavior. This experience was truly transformative and I am grateful to have invested in it.

My dog Reign and I had a great experience training with Paw & Order in their basic obedience group class. Christie is a knowledgeable , personable and attentive trainer. I would recommend them to anyone.

Paw and order-Washington was the absolute best! My husband and I were getting so overwhelmed with our dog Millie’s behavior. Jumping on everyone and everything, counter surfing, chewing everything, and not listening to her basic commands. Her energy/excitement could not be controlled and it was hard to deal with..especially because we have a toddler and a baby. We were referred to Christie at paw and order from a friend and we are so thankful we were. From the very beginning Christie, Kara, and Madison were absolutely amazing. Christie made us very comfortable with leaving our Millie in their hands for several weeks..Kara and Madison sent us probably one million (and no I’m not exaggerating haha) pictures and videos throughout the entire time they had her and my husband and I LOVED that!! We were able to see her progress and what she was learning as they went. They were also all available to answer any question/concerns we had. We would 100% recommend paw and order to anyone looking for help with their dog. Millie came homie still with her crazy and silly personality, but now she is so much more behaved and well mannered!! No more jumping, chewing, and her listening is AMAZING. thank you so much Christie, Kara, and Madison for helping our Millie girl to be the best version of herself!❤️ she already can’t wait to come back and visit!!
