Questions & answers

What people have asked about this business.

Hi, I have a question. This is my first dog, and I want to train him to go to the bathroom in one place. I need basic training, but I don't speak much English. Can you train him even if I speak to him in Spanish?

And when does the new school year or the new classes start, and what would the cost be?

Diego, Paws N Effect could help you train your dog, the only problem right now they don't have anyone who speaks Spanish.

Question on Google
My dog is trained to basic commands but I need him to be trained as a therapy dog for me as he aleady does it for me I need him certfied so how do I do that.

Paws trains therapy dogs but not service dogs. Therapy dogs visit people. Service dogs are trained to do a specific task.

Community answer · Sandy House · 2018-09-21

I have no idea, though Paws and Effect does. They do training of all different types from puppies to working dogs like you mention.

Question on Google
I have a 3 year old mixed breed dog. I have PTSD mostly in remission but sometimes I still get very anxious. Can my dog be trained to respond to my anxiety?

I imagine so, but it may need preliminary training. Also all training there, I believe, is done with the dog and owner.

Hi They don't train service dogs.

Community answer · Sandy House · 2018-09-21

You should probably give them a call

Actually went to the dog grooming shop, Little House of Howler's... Nice people. Edit: Also my dog is a graduate from Paw's and Effect they too are nice folks and good dog trainers.

My wife and I brought our dog for training he doesn't have any experience being around other dogs or people outside his immediate circle So because of this we have been outside the training circle with the hopes that he come down.Well we have been on the sidelines by ourselves and feeling like outcasts. The trainer is focused on the other dogs and doesn't seen to be worried about including us. Very dissatisfied . If our dog needs another approach then say so, dont leave us by ourselves like that. We payed just like everyone else.Disrespectful I feel. Bad experience
