Pavlov Dog Training - Portland

Leaving your dog with someone else for three weeks can feel really intimidating, but Ashley made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. Throughout the three-week board and train program, she stayed in regular communication and sent helpful videos explaining the commands and techniques she was working on with our dog. When we got him back, we were beyond impressed. He is so much more responsive to commands, and we feel much more confident in continuing to work through the behavioral issues we originally brought him in for. The training didn’t just help our dog — it helped us understand how to support his progress too. It’s also very reassuring to see how much our dog loves Ashley and how well he responds to her. That alone speaks volumes about the care and time she puts into the dogs she works with. The experience was completely worth it, and we’ll absolutely continue going to Ashley for our dog’s training and boarding needs.

We had a wonderful experience with Ashley at Pavlov Dog Training. Our hard-headed but sweet staffy mix went through her 2-week board and train program, and the results have been amazing. Before training, we were feeling frustrated with his lack of obedience. Now he looks to us for instruction and genuinely wants to make good choices. He’s more focused, more responsive, and so much more enjoyable to work with. The biggest difference has been in everyday situations (i.e. greeting guests calmly, listening when we give direction, and no more jumping or chaotic behavior). It’s made such a positive impact on our home. The investment was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind and long-term results. We’re so grateful for Ashley’s guidance and highly recommend her if you’re in the Portland area!
