Pavlov Dog Training - Portland

Working Trainer Kylah from Pavlov’s Dog Training is the best investment Ive ever made!! In two weeks my high energy one year old dog that was a puller and a jumper learned how to heal, come when called, stay and not jump up on people. Its wonderful to have tools and strategies that enable me to communicate with my dog. Kylah was so helpful and patient when teaching me how to work with my dog in the follow up sessions. I brought my dog back for a second week and he so so happy and excited to see her. Clearly Kylah loves dogs and they love her!

I’m truly blown away by how amazing Pavlov Dog Training did with our 95 lb Pit Bully, Bertha. As you can imagine, before training Bertha was very hard to control on a leash, barked a lot, and we had a hard time controlling her. Meredith and her team went above and beyond to train Bertha out of her naughty habits and she did it in a very kind and safe environment. Bertha loved her training so much that she didn’t want to leave Meredith’s beautiful home and had the time of her life. She got to play with other dogs and go on hikes and adventures all while learning her training. Meredith is extremely knowledgeable and kind and made us feel so supported and equipped every step of the way. We are so grateful for her and would recommend Pavlov Dog Training to any of our friends and family!

Ashley was a pleasure to work with. We took Otto, our 4 month old puppy, for a 2 week training program. Otto is an anxious dog that gets really scared of people. After only 2 weeks with Ashley, Otto had improved so much! He is now more confident and obedient, and she gave us a lot of tools to work with that we’ve been using after the program ended. We highly recommend Ashley if you have a dog that requires special attention.

We sought out Pavlov Dog Training because of their great recommendations. At the time our energetic yellow lab was 11 months old. We are novice dog owners/trainers so we needed information on training as much as Jake needed positive channeling of this behavior. For us this meant he would not jump on people, pull on his leash and would come when called; just general impulse control issues. We decided the two week board and train course would be best. When we met Kylah she quickly assessed Jake and explained her goals for him. She was very confidant and knowledgeable. Fast forward two weeks when we went to pick Jake up. He was happy to see us but sat in place and did not jump on us. Kylah then proceeded to explain how we could best work with him and we spent a good ninety minutes working together to get our comfort level secure. We have met with Kylah twice since then. We continue to work with Jake daily. We have a dog that is off leash more because we trust he will follow our commands. He is much better behaved when we have company and we have the tools to correct him when he misbehaves. His fun-loving, goofy spirit is intact. We are so happy we invested in the two weeks of training we all needed. Kylah has been awesome and available for any questions that arise. I’m thankful for her knowledge and training style that helped us understand Jake’s needs. I would highly recommend Kylah and Pavlov Dog Training to anyone who is needing guidance with their dog.

Meredith has truly saved the relationship my wife has with our 1 year old blue heeler (Blue). We inherited our dog after it needed to be rehomed and while we knew our heeler would be a bit intense in terms needing to get their energy out, after 6 months, we both felt a bit over our heads. Since Blue has undergone the 3 week board and train with Meredith at Pavlov, it feels like we finally found the missing puzzle piece to work with our dog and the knowledge to be better dog parents. We cannot thank Meredith and everyone at Pavlov for helping us!
