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.

Shout out to Hannah for her excellent attendance. 

Hannah has been on our team for five months - specifically twenty-two weeks - and she has called out ONCE. 

Hannah schedules her time off in advance.  She has taught our team that if she is on the master calendar, there is a high probability she will be present. 

We see you, Hannah!
