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
