About Sadie’s Paw and Order Dog Training Services

What it is

Sadie's Paw and Order runs on a single promise repeated across the home page: "Bringing the Trainer to YOU!" The site advertises "Positive Training Real Results" and "Free Consultations & Intake Questionnaires Available", and every engagement starts with an intake questionnaire and a consultation before a contract is signed.

What is offered

Three lanes are named on the home page. Obedience Skills: "There are almost 100 different commands you can teach your dog, it's up to you what you would like to teach your dog. Consistency, patience, and persistence is key!" Behavior Fixes: "Does your dog have unwanted behaviors? Jumping? Nipping? Dog aggression? Food Aggression? Barking? The list goes on!" And Protection Training, which is gated — the site asks owners to "read about personal protection training and state regulations before requesting a questionnaire", states that "There are many dogs who are not qualified for this work", and requires "proof of homeowner's insurance, and proof of home ownership" plus "a non-refundable pre-requisite test on your dog to determine eligibility before any contract is signed." A board-and-train program and potty training contracts are also published, and the site banner advertises in-home nail trims.

Method, in her words

"My training program emphasizes positive reinforcement to teach social skills and basic commands. We focus on creating a fun, engaging environment where your dog learns proper behavior through rewards." On the owner's share of the problem: "It's arguable, but 90% of the time I am training a dog, their behaviors are Owner Error." She also writes "Every dog has a chance to learn at any age" and that she works "From building a foundational structure for new pets, to helping curb traumatic experiences from their past." The About block says she has "been dedicated to understanding animal behavior since 2019" and credits partnerships "with veterinary offices, dog rescues, and humane societies." The site calls her a "Triple Certified Dog Trainer."
