Welcome to Pavlov Dog Training! We train Portland’s most charming family dogs.

Are you looking to upgrade your dog’s manners or resolve a behavior issue?  We can help!  Pavlov offers a comprehensive model that includes board and train followed by private training.  Once your dog graduates a boarding program, doors will open.  For one, your dog will receive lifetime access to group classes and pack walks.  Secondly, your dog may qualify for boarding with benefits.  This way polite manners are maintained when you go on future vacations.

Board and train programs are two to three weeks and include three handover lessons.  Your dog will sleep in a cozy space and train throughout the day.

PAVLOV’s Training Approach

Pavlov advocates for a healthy hybrid of traditional and contemporary training.  Some call this balanced dog training.  Rude, naughty behavior is directly corrected.  Polite behavior is liberally rewarded. Your dog will learn that wise choices are advantageous.

How Are We Different?

  1. Socialization groups 3x daily
  2. Lodging in your trainer’s cozy home
  3. Traditional + Contemporary Dog Training
  4. Lifetime support with pack walks + group classes
  5. Boarding options after training

“Cannot recommend Pavlov’s dog training enough. I enrolled my dog Winston in the board and train program and even took him back a few months later for a refresher course. His trainer Caitlin Demerest was an excellent communicator, keeping me updated every step of the way and really showed she cares about dog and owner. She gave us multiple follow up lessons and effectively showed me the ropes when it comes to maintaining and improving his training. Winston is like a new dog, he is obedient, much less reactive and has become an excellent companion thanks to the work Caitlin put in. Pavlov’s was one of the best investments I’ve made in a long time, 10/10!” -Jacob Boudreau

Maverick, an English Cream Golden Retriever, used to wreak havoc at home. After a 2-week program, Dog Trainer Quinn helped Maverick’s parents have piece of mind due to their newfound ability to handle his rambunctious behaviors. Pulling is no longer on the table! #pavlovdogtraining #balanceddogtraining #denverdogtrainer #englishcreampuppy

Look-at-that drill: dog looks at trigger —> looks away —> “Good!” —> treat. This drill is one of a handful of strategies Pavlov trainers may utilize with dogs who vocalize at passersby.
