NOTICE: Our dog trainer will be out on maternity leave from the end of mid-April through mid-June. We are currently offering online private lessons and consulting as needed for those who need help at this time. For urgent in-person classes (especially puppy socialization) our trainer recommends reaching out to Oregon Humane Society, High Expectations or K9-Five's S.T.A.R Puppy, for training that prioritizes positive reinforcement in the Portland-Vancouver area. We understand this comes with inconveniences and hope to have you in a class in a few short months!!

Later this summer, new classes like Trick Training, Agility basics, and Canine Fitness will be offered to step away from only being obedience based. We are also offering a Canine Good Citizen prep course in place of our Advanced Manners class.

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at dogtraining@southwesthumane.org.

The training methods we practice are positive, high reward, and emphasize the importance of building a strong relationship with our companions.
