George & Friends Dog Training Portland, Oregon

Risa is absolutely superb. She was able to accurately assess our 8-month-old puppy’s personality as well as our family’s dynamics within minutes of our first session and her subsequent instruction has been pivotal in not only guiding us through the teenage puppy stage but also helping all of us be on same page with our sweet & energetic pup. I fully intend to continue sessions with Risa as he grows older. Every time we take him out, we get compliments on how well-behaved he is! If I could give Risa more than five stars, I would. Worth every penny, don’t hesitate!

Amazing , knowledgeable, training. I learned what I have to participate and help my Pepper to do things what I like Him to do and He would do it. Such an amazing discovery. My Pepper is such a good Boy and He is very independent . Thank YOU so much for Your training and for being so supportive for are needs. Georgette Hancock. Pepper my sweetest pet. We love You and recommend You to Everyone in needs of training.

Risa is outstanding at understanding both dogs and their humans. She is incredibly patient and made a world of positive difference for our family. We'd tried other dog training programs when our dog was a puppy with little success. Before meeting Risa, our dog was barking a LOT, extremely difficult to redirect, and even harder to walk. We now have a trained and socialized dog that we can confidently walk around people and dogs and that we can redirect when needed. Thank you, Risa!
