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!  Select from private training, or board and train.  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. Board + Train in your trainer’s cozy home
  3. Traditional + Contemporary Dog Training
  4. Lifetime support with pack walks + group classes
  5. Boarding options after training

Australian Shepherd fun fact: Australian Shepherds come in 3 different sizes; standard, mini, and toy. The standard Aussie is the only size recognized as an Australian Shepherd through the American Kennel Club (AKC). The mini size was officially recognized in 2015 through the AKC as a Miniature American Shepherd.

“I really took the time to research the best dog training program for Twyla our 3 year old anxious shepherd mix. Pavlov has not let me down! Our trainer Chelsea gave us amazing updates during Twyla’s 3 week stay. I really appreciated the daily social media updates and seeing her socialize with other dogs. We’ve already enjoyed extremely less stressful walks on a daily basis, since her board and train. Following her 3 week stay Chelsea has done follow up lessons with us to make sure we have all the tools we need to better communicate with Twyla. Chelsea has been so attentive. It made me so happy to see Twyla bond with her as well. You can tell she really cares about the work she does. Thank you!” -Mariesa Pace
