Paws Then Play
Paws Then Play LLC is based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Our vision is to educate and serve those who are disabled and need help to navigate the world with their service dog. We educate businesses on their rights and responsibilities with handicapped persons and their service dogs.
About Me
My name is Lindsay Brown, and I have experiences that make me uniquely suited for the business I created. I have intensive training with animals including conditioning my own service dog, managing my own disabilities daily, researching laws specific to service animals.
Experience
I love animals and have worked in different fields of dog training and also with horses. I have also worked my own dogs at shows and teach others about training, service dog legal issues, and how to manage disabilies in daily life with the assistance of a service dog.
Therapy Dogs in the Community
One way we can reach out to our community is by making available therapy dog teams to help when needed. Additionally, we often are called to present pro-bono for children and teens in learning programs, and community associations.
There are some dogs that are highly trainable and have an openly loving nature, but do not become Service Dogs for any number of reasons (ie. lack of need in the family, too much pressure for the dog, environmental issues, etc). These dogs are often very suitable for therapy work! Therapy Dogs help many people, not just one disabled person like Service Dogs do. They are trained to know how to behave in public settings and enjoy being watched, petted, and played with.
Community Service
Paws Then Play teams have all of these skills and traits. Upon request, we present to local youth groups, summer camps, non-profit (501-C3) organizations, clubs, and community gatherings. We travel locally to help educate, spread joy, and give comfort. To request a seminar please click here and fill out the contact form.

More About Lindsay:
Over the past few years I’ve focused my time and energy on educating businesses and individuals here in the Charlotte, North Carolina area on all things pertaining to service dogs. I also consult with individuals interested in how a service dog can assist them as well as evaluating and training rescue dogs with the Greater Charlotte SPCA. In my free time, I enjoy crafting and gardening.
