Dog Training Services

Paw 2 Paw is located in Bend, Oregon, and IACP certified. Originally founded in 2020 and is woman-owned and operated.

Our training philosophy is simple, we believe that building a solid foundation and strengthening the relationship between you and your dog is key. Without a foundation, we can’t address other issues you might be experiencing like resource guarding or reactivity - so that’s where we start. The stronger the foundation, the better the outcome.

We also recognize that every dog is different, they have different motivators, sensitivities, drives, and responses. We believe in training the dog in front of us, meaning each client receives a custom training plan to set both dog and handler up for success. Because of this belief, we practice balanced training methods and exercise all 4 quadrants of the operant conditioning theory - not sure what that means? Feel free to ask us!

Our biggest goal is teaching YOU how to be successful with your dog. It’s not only dog training, but it’s also handler training. Whether you move forward with private sessions or a board and train, we will work directly with you to ensure you feel confident in maintaining training past your time with us.
