Case Study: Paw & Order streamlines payroll and tax compliance with Patriot Software

This Couple Wants to Spread Paw & Order Across the Country

Paw & Order is a Pittsburgh-based dog training business that has grown from in-home training to board & train packages and multiple franchises. As the company began hiring employees, co-owner Steve Sentner struggled with HR and tax compliance — after using Patriot Software without Full Service payroll their first year, they discovered they owed back taxes and found contractor payments time-consuming.

Patriot Software stepped in with Full Service payroll and later added a 1099 contractor payment feature, taking on tax filings and simplifying contractor pay. As a result, Patriot Software now handles employee taxes for Paw & Order, payroll takes only a few minutes every other week, manual check-cutting was eliminated, and the owners have more time to focus on growth and opening additional franchises.
