Pavlov Dog Training - Portland

We boarded our 10 month-old mini-labradoodle with Ashley in her home for two weeks of training, and we were very pleased with the results. Ashley has worked with Stanlee on leash walking, door manners, not jumping up on people, sit and stay in one place until we release her. We realize that the follow-up training is up to us, but Ashley has been patient and professionsal in her approach. She has proved to be an excellent teacher and coach showing us what we need to do and more importantly, having us practice so she can observe, monitor, and adjust if necessary. Ashley is always willing to answer our questions. Overall, it has been a positive experience for us and our pup, and we highly recommend Ashley as a trainer and coach! Shirley and Fran Bates

Ashley was wonderful! We feel like we have a shared language now with our new little cattle dog Vix, and her walking manners are very much improved. We are still working with Vix on her excitement around other dogs and squirrels but we are now better able to communicate our expectations with her. Vix still expresses her wonderful goofy personality, but now is more confident in herself and in us. In three weeks Ashley accomplished what would have taken us at least a year or two to achieve in terms of trust, communication, and confidence. I will put all future dogs of mine through this awesome program!

I recently had Pavlov train my very energetic, impulse control challenged young Lab. She lived with and was trained by Ashley for 3 weeks. Now it’s like my dog has a pause button in her brain and is able to listen to and act on commands. She is much more invested in our relationship as opposed to acting impetuously on her whims. While my dog was being boarded and trained, I received twice weekly updates with videos so I could track what was going on and see that she was okay. I had been a little trepidatious about taking this training step, but I’m glad I did. Now that my dog is home there has been an in home training session with Ashley. My dog was so happy to see her trainer, which speaks well of their bond and the quality of her experience with Pavlov.
