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

Sunday’s Pack Walk took place just east of Washington Park. This is a visual that was created on Rhue’s Fi collar.

“My pup, Roberto, completed their 3-week board and train program, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. He learned solid off-leash commands and came back happier, more confident, and incredibly well-behaved. We also did a mini refresher, and it was so helpful in reinforcing everything he learned.

The trainers at Pavlov are friendly, professional, and super responsive. We worked with Jason initially and then Caitlin. Caitlin has been fantastic and continues to check in to see how he’s doing. Roberto loves them — he gets excited every time we pull up, and I have total peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands when I travel and leave him there for boarding. Berto and our dog walker even ran into Quinn at Wash Park, and Berto was stoked to see her!

The at-home lessons have also been a game-changer, giving me the tools to continue his training in real-life situations. It’s clear the Pavlov team truly cares about both the dogs and their owners.

Couldn’t recommend them more highly — thank you, Pavlov, for helping Roberto become the best version of himself!” -Stefani Guerra

Phobia + Fear: Griz was an adolescent shepherd when mom caught dinner on fire triggering the fire alarm. Unfortunately this kindled a fearful reaction to high-pitched beeps. Peak at the behavior modification process. #soundphobia #soundphobiasindogs #soundphobiatraining #behaviormodification
