Pavlov Dog Training - Portland

Let's just start this review by noting that I've changed Ashley's contact in my phone to "Ashley – Otis's favorite human". Let's just say I've had to come to terms with the fact that my dog may love another human more… But after seeing Ashley with Otis, I totally get it! In all seriousness, the results with Otis were so much better than we ever could've imagined! We did the three week camp with a high energy, super mutt heavy on the husky and herding breed side of the equation. Before Otis left, he was like the Tasmanian devil… Just a ball of spinning chaos, cute chaos, but chaos. After spending time with Ashley The assignment and more importantly we did as Otis's parents. My partner and I were just talking about how we wish we would've had Ashley with so many of our other dogs while they were all wonderful. It could've fast tracked our puppy time with them into more play and partnership time that's what we have now with Otis. If you're in Portland and have a dog that could benefit this is a No-brainer. The training is quickly paying for itself in things that aren't destroyed around the house and a happy puppy and family. #AshleyForPresident❤️❤️❤️❤️

Trainer Ashley at Pavlov’s Dog is excellent. We engaged her services with our Parsons Russell Terrier (5 month old) puppy. Ashley is a great communicator. She has great touch and connection to the dogs and is good with their owners too. When we picked up our pup after his stint at boot camp, he was cheerful and happy to see us but was ready to show off his new skills. Waking on leash, as well as, come, sit, stay and some general manners. We were given instruction videos of our dog with Ashley, and a specific course of tasks to work on when we went home. We were consistent about the homework and we worked hard to keep up with the training. Fast forward to today,; our first follow up session, Ashley came to us, our pup was so excited to see Ashley and proudly showed her his progress. I would highly recommend this trainer and their program. A+

Ashley is seriously a miracle worker! I have two Shih Tzu mixes, Dizzy & Otis, both around four years old, and before their 3-week board and train, walks were often stressful—barking, pulling, even lunging at dogs and people. Now, they walk at my heel, stay mostly chill, and we can even do laps around a dog park without a single bark. Night and day difference. They also listen to “stay” and respond better to verbal corrections. The board and train program also comes with 5 private lessons. We've had 3 so far, and they've been a huge help in continuing their positive behavior changes at home. Ashley is patient and kind and a great teacher for humans, too. My only regret is not doing this sooner.

We did Board + Train with Ashley while we were on vacation. Ashley was very patient with us and quelled our anxieties about leaving our pup with someone for the first time. Our one-and-a-half year-old Lab/Springer Frank had a great time with her, it was so obvious how much he loved Ashley when we came to pick him up! In two weeks, Frank learned how to walk nicely in heel and not pull so much on leash. She showed us how to use the prong collar, which I had a lot of anxiety about, but when she pulled it out his little tail wagged. He prefers it SO much over the gentle leader we were using before, which he HATED and constantly pawed at. We are continuing to practice at home and have had a couple lessons with Ashley. Thank you!
