Voted Top 6 Dog Training Services in Portland 2023 by The RIP City Review!
Services We Offer
REACTIVITY/AGGRESSION
Starting at $120
Can you fix reactivity with positive training methods? These are the cases I am most passionate about. Because whatever method you use, are you are changing how the dog feels internally or just how the dog behaves externally? Is the dog provided relief in a stressful situation? Am I repressing an emotion or making the dog more confident. These are the types of questions you need to ask yourself when working with a reactive or aggressive dog.
FOUNDATIONS/PUPPY TRAINING
Starting at $90
Basic obedience and canine etiquette. All dogs can learn obedience commands no matter the age or breed. Party tricks are fun but obedience is life saving. Obedient dogs do not run away, come when called, leave things they shouldn’t mess with and give you their full attention when you need it. Likewise, etiquette is just as important. Dogs that know how to greet dogs and people gracefully get in less fights and are less reactive. Great for young puppies or unruly adults.
BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Starting at $120
Is your dog a menace? Can't be left alone? Counter surfer? Problematic on a leash? Pulling? Chewing? Excessive Barking? Anxious? Coprophagous? Behavior modification is for those of us that have perfect angels except when they… have difficult behaviors. We find out what the triggers are to these behaviors and rewire your dogs mind to find pleasure in these triggers. We will teach you force free techniques to manage or eliminate the behavior all together.
TRICK TRAINING
Starting at $90
Not all dogs can learn tricks- most if not all high energy dogs can learn them though! Are you wanting a solid game of fetch so you can exercise your dog easily? Do you want your kids more involved in your dogs training? I teach tricks because A- its so much fun! But more importantly B- for a high energy dog, tricks are cognitively enriching. High energy dogs are meant to WORK. Trick training is a great way to put your dog to work in a fun and interactive way.
