Welcome to a completely new and innovative approach to group training for you and your canine buddy!
In the past, group training courses were taught in a group environment with a predetermined course outline to be completed in a set number of weeks. This approach gave little thought to the fact that dogs and their handlers learn at individual paces and require different approaches to learning based on personality and learning curves/styles. It was in this typical training setting that we found that dogs who excelled at certain skills/tasks quickly became bored while waiting for others to catch up and dogs/handlers who needed a little more time became frustrated or disappointed with their progress and often gave up prematurely. So we created Levels Training and here's how it works!
​
With the purchase of a Paw & Order 8-week Training Membership, you can get the training and support that you need to succeed with your dog at the pace that is best suited to you. Training classes are held each week and when you and your furry friend are able to successfully complete the criteria needed to advance, you go to the next level. Some teams may spend several weeks learning and practicing the skills needed to advance and some dogs might advance more quickly to the next level. Training time is spent learning and practicing these skills.
​
The starting level for you and your dog depends on their age at the start of training. Dogs who are 16 weeks of age and under when they start the Levels Training course, must start at the Puppy Level when one is available. Dogs who are over 16 weeks at the start of training will start at Level 1.
​
When a Level is successfully completed, you are more than welcome to join in on the training class for your current Level and the Level that you most recently completed. For example, if you and your pup have completed Level 1 and have moved on to Level 2, you are free to come to class during any Level 1 or Level 2 time slot. This means you could be training one or two times each week with a professional trainer to really help to set those skills in place. Remember, practice makes permanent!
​
Here is a summary of the current training schedule and course outline for our Levels Training.
Please note that training classes do not take place at Paw & Order during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day or during March Break. Memberships purchased in advance that span over any of these times, will take a "break" to practice at home during these times and any remaining weeks on the membership will pick up where they left off when training classes resume.
