What makes Paw 2 Paw different
Local roots, global reach: We’re Bend-born but comfortable working coast to coast and beyond.
Decades of experience: Years in the field mean practical, reliable results.
Dog-first philosophy: We read each dog first, building trust and using positive, effective techniques that respect temperament and personality.
Tailored training: No cookie-cutter programs — every plan is built around the dog in front of us and the family supporting them.
We value giving back. We work with shelters and rescues globally to train and place some of the most challenging dogs — those who often need extra time, expertise, and heart. We also usually have a foster dog available for adoption, so you can meet a ready-trained pup and provide a forever home.
About Lauren: Lauren lives in Bend with her daughter Kennedy and her dog Addie. A cancer survivor, she brings deep empathy, resilience, and a lifelong connection to dogs into her work. Her playful, patient leadership and commitment to continuous learning guide Paw 2 Paw’s compassionate, effective approach.
