Rascal Training & Boarding

There’s a a lot to say about rascal training! Zoe, has been by far the best thing That's happened to my family! We brought our hyper, not leash trained 7 month old, not neutered puppy to her with low expectations. They were so low because, well, he’s a puppy and puppy’s are tough to train. She went above and beyond with his training. From a high distraction leash training to off leash recall training. She corrected our nonsensical way of training him and brought his true potential! He is a 180 on behavior but still has his personality that we loved so much about him! We weighed the pros and cons on her 2 week training and 1 month training and we are very happy that we went with the 1 month! She’s affordable, and the results alone of the one month board and train are worth way more than what we paid! The pick up class was also wonderful! We spent 1 hour and 45 minutes going over all we needed to know and as well as a class for us, as we now know, not only is he constantly learning but we need to continue and to help teach him and learn! It’s like a foreign language, if you don’t use it you loose it! If I could give more stars I would! She’s professional, welcoming and more importantly she’s a actually amazing at what she does! THANK YOU ZOE, FOR HELPING WITH BATES YOU'RE A MIRACLE WORKER IN DISGUISE! -Elijah, Sadie, & bates

After getting our second puppy after only having the first one for only a year we were in in over our heads. We made the decision to board and train our dogs with Rascal Training. If you are considering training your dogs in the Portland area, DO IT. Zoe and the other trainers at Rascal are truly amazing. They loved our dogs as their own, taught them a ridiculous amount of things and offer follow up trainings with the dog owners after the board and train is complete which is invaluable. Just to name the biggest changes in our pups: - down, here, wait, shh, sit, go to bed, uh ahh (commands) - loose leash walking - off leash walking I can’t even type out how much this has changed our lives for the better. Dogs are happier and so are we. Check out my Ig for updates on our dogs @allthingsnicolemay and check out Zoe on Ig too! That’s why we chose to go with rascal! @rascaltraining

Zoe has been a phenomenal support to our family after bringing home our goldendoodle puppy. She came to our home for a couple training sessions. She listened patiently and was incredibly responsive and generous with her time and knowledge. After each visit we noticed immediate changes in our pup. We then sent our pup to her for a two week board/train session and I am not exaggerating when I say she came home a different dog. She listens intently, she in much more obedient and quick to comply with what we ask of her. I have had a TON of questions and Zoe has been very willing to respond quickly and offer advise as we continue to learn. Zoe is the best!
