Pet Boarding Training near Tualatin

“So many good things to say about this daycare! From the trained, experienced and caring behaviorists to the cleaning protocols, this is the best place I've ever experienced in over 25 years of dog parenting. I know my dog kiddos are safe and well cared for. Their instagram page clearly shows how they see each of their dog clients as individuals and always strive to do what's best for each and have tons of fun along the way. Additionally, I have had both of my 2-year old female labradoodle/GSD mixed breed dogs (they're littermates) in training for the last several months so I must do a special shout out to the in-house trainer, Nakita Johnson. Nakita zeroed in on my girls' individual talents, strengths, and training needs and designed training for each of them that has surpassed my expectations. She provides detailed instruction and feedback and happily answers ALL my questions. My dogs have gained obedience as well as fun 'tricks' but what really stands out to me is how calm and confident they are. Doggone Fun! really is their second home now.“

“Our Leonberger has been going to daycare here since she was a puppy. They have a very caring staff that love dogs. Would recommend them to anyone.“

“Have had a great experience with Come Dog and Walkin' Dog classes here (both taught by Emma). Our dog is 65lb of pure puppy energy and we were not sure if he'd be able to make it through a whole hour being so close to other dogs without being able to play with them (his only desire in life is to wrestle every dog he sees). Emma did a great job setting up the space to minimize distractions and got him to the point where he pays attention to us even with other dogs nearby. All the games and skills we learned in class have really translated into better behaviour and self control everywhere. Going on walks is 1000% more fun, he's able to sit calmly when dogs walk by us, and his recall is pretty darn good too. Going to classes together really helped me and my partner get on the same page with training. Instead of both of us watching a bunch of random Youtube videos and taking different approaches we now all know the same cues and rewards and our dog isn't getting mixed messages from us. Totally worth the cost.“

“I've been taking my Australian Labradoodle there 2 days a week for a year now, and she absolutely loves it there. She is so excited at the entrance and to see the staff.Everyone there is professional, friendly, and show they care about their guests. They also work hard to keep the place clean.The owner does a great job of balancing everything (safety, prices, hours, procedures, etc.). And the app they use is great too.I am confident dropping off my best friend, and feel good she is there. Thank you Ruff House staff!“

“Great service. I can tell my dog loves it by how excited she gets when we’re heading over there“

“Mark really helped us with our young Briard.We really needed help with aggressive behavior on walks. She is doing so much better after one training.“

“Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommended; they understand dogs, and use only positive methods. I foster dogs from China and Taiwan for Golden Bond Rescue. I'm not inexperienced with training, but one dog was extremely fear-aggressive with other people and very unsafe. Brittany worked with us a couple of times, and with some practice we were able to change her behavior completely. She got a wonderful home. Not inexpensive, but effective.“

“Om Dog Club took great care of my dog during my last trip. They were very responsive and sent lots of updates and photos. Additionally, Whitney did a great job training my dog during a two week board and train!“

“Steve is awesome. Kind and patient. My dog responded on day one. He’s very patient with me as I’m learning to be more calm and assertive with my catahoula dog. Thank you Steve. You really are great!!“

“Wish I had invested in this years ago! As my dog has aged, he's become more set in behaviors that are not conducive to a inclusive family environment. With other dogs with other children etc. This has been transformational not only for my dog, but also the other animals in our house and our lifestyle.“

“Upon arriving back in Portland, I needed a dog walker as my remote job gave way to an on-site job. After being ignored by a couple of different providers, Betsy responded promptly, set up a meeting and now my guy, Gary, is the happiest pup on the block. She's priced fairly, provides excellent service (pictures of every walk and attention to Gary's well being), is an A+ communicator and just a generally great care-taker. I couldn't be any happier with Bowser's and Betsy and, as a fanatical fan of my dog, recommend her without hesitation.“

“I could not be happier with Safe And Hound . Not only are the staff attentive and kind but they absolutely love my little girl and she loves going to school. If you are looking for a great doggy daycare, this is the spot!!! The excitement she gets when we turn, the corner, tells me everything I need to know.“

“Nicole Flowers is an excellent dog trainer. I highly recommend her services for any type of issue you and your dog are facing. I am with a Weimaraner rescue organization and we have hired Nicole to help us help dogs in foster and adoptive homes, and even to help dog owners who were considering surrendering their dogs to us when what they needed was a good trainer to help them. Common issues we hire Nicole for are leash reactivity, dog aggression, over protective with human, and obsessive/compulsive behavior (with people and food).Nicole's strengths are:* Experience - she has seen it all and been involved in animal training for many years.* Creative solutions - she does not presume to have the immediate solution; she spends time with the dog to understand the issue and then considers what will most likely work and modifies the training as she goes along. The results to her approach are amazing!* Professionalism, reliability and communication. Nicole listens very well to each detail the dog owner provides and explains her training approach so it is easy to follow for someone not familiar with dog training.I can truly say that in several cases where we hired Nicole, I do not know what we'd have done without her. In every case she made a positive impact for the dog and the people involved. 100% success in every case.“

“I’ve taken 4 classes with my young dog at Happy Go Lucky and I’m so grateful for their guidance and instruction. The instructors are TERRIFIC and the extras that Susan taught in obedience have proven to be essential to calm, daily living with my dog. Having never trained a puppy, I was unprepared for the challenges and was floundering when we arrived. Through the classes I’ve become much more confident and my dog is thriving!“

“Love this place. Highly recommend¡!!!!!!!!!!¡ if you have ever had your dog rejected from a dog day care come here they are the best and know dogs. All family owned and operated“

“We had never had our golden groomed and didn’t know what to expect. They listened to our requests and loved on our boy! He looked amazing!! We are thrilled they’re local and now they’ll be our go-to!“

“I love the Fear Free approach as Huggy Bear has anxiety and our former vet only did drop-offs on short notice. By the end of it all, he was the most calm I've ever seen him at a vet. The atmosphere was also very warm, professional, spacious and inviting from my perspective as well. Not to mention he recently got loose while I was at work and was wrangled by Drea, who works at RCVH. I never felt rushed and they made sure all of my concerns were addressed. All in all, this was the best experience we've had at a vet!“

“Janelle is the best. My dog is reactive and she handles him very well. His visits are stress free for both of us.“

“Our 15 y/o cat was terminally ill and had to be put down. I didn’t want his long time Vet/staff who’d developed a relationship with him to have to do it so a friend recommended Oswego Vet. Dr. Naomi and her assistant were so respectful and kind and came to our home to make it less stressful for all of us. The treatment was humane and gentle.A few days later, Dr. Naomi sent a handwritten sympathy card with his (ink) paw prints. And then they sent separate card to say that a tree had been donated in his honor to the Arbor Day foundation. I’m so moved and grateful and can’t say enough good things about this practice. They made a horrible decision more bearable. I’m so pleased that there’s a little tree out there with GIR’s name on it??“

“Kate is a wonderful person and great dog trainer. Her wealth of knowledge and super fun classes make for a safe and well rounded class for both pups and parents.Can’t wait to continue our training with her!Happy Pup!“

“I have known Kathryn for over 10 years. She took care of my two westies -- and was wonderful with them. She has a passion for pets and was so good with them.“

“They care for the dogs and the dogs clearly enjoy their time there. We've trusted them with our pups for years. Once they cared for our 17 year old elder dog for a week. They gave us updates and made sure we knew they had our fur family in a good place.“

“How do we love thee let me count the ways. James has been one of those rare and precious discoveries in life. He's the puppy and puppy parent whisperer. For us and in our chaotic world of work and middle school he's been our guide through the depths of puppy hell and heights of joy. He's organized and professional, preparing for our sessions with print offs with homework and next steps for our training binder he gave us. He's filled gaps in getting my two high energy boys daily walks and socialization. He's there when I'm texting in tears after they've fear-peed on our couch, chewed my fave stillies, and I've returned from chasing them down in my bed tee and bare feet after they escaped through an open door. Alas all of these frights and frustrations are par for the adopting-two-puppies-at-once course and becoming less frequent thanks to James and his deep understanding of dog behavior and how ours affects them in all the ways. He's patient, responsive, and always offering different ways to connect and understand our boys. His permission to go at their pace and let them be idiots now and then has been possibly the most appreciated. We're in our third training course (boys are 9 mos and 13 mos), both group and private, and seeing a light at the end of this stuffing filled tunnel. We all adore James and are grateful that he's a part of our village:)“

“Platinum Leash took great care of my kitties while I was away. I appreciated the way Jessica kept all things kitty-food, litter box, etc. clean and organized. Best of all my kitties were healthy and happy when I returned home. Very happy to have found this gem of a company and I plan to use them for kitty-sitting in the future!“
