History
Established in 1997.
In 1995 Jan adopted a dog and named her Harley. After several months Harley started to show signs of aggression towards other dogs. Jan went on a quest to modify Harley’s behavior She went to dog trainer after dog trainer. Each trainer told me to correct Harley for her bad behavior. Corrections included prong collars, shock collars, alpha roller overs, punching, kicking, etc. These corrections only made her problem worse. Who could blame her? Every time she even looked at another dog, mom tried to kill her.
In 1997, Jan found a different kind of trainer, one who relied on positive reinforcement to teach Harley alternative behaviors when other dogs were present. In less than a year her default behavior was see another dog look at mom and get a treat. Harley’s transformation amazed Jan so much that she quit her lawyer job and started Paw Law.

Business Owner
Jan graduated from UIC with degrees in psychology and anthropology.
In 1990 she graduated from IIT Kent College of Law and she practiced in Environmental Law for 10 years. However, in 1998, she started private lessons teaching humans how to train their dogs. She was so happy working with dogs and unhappy practicing law, that late in 1999, she gave up law entirely, rented the basement of a veterinarian and started Paw Law dog training classes.
Within 2 years Paw Law needed more space and rented a storefront to hold classes. In 2004, Paw Law expanded again and started offering daycare and drop off training.
