We’ve always taken a serious approach to being the best Portland has to offer dogs and their people. Part of that serious approach is having a lot of fun doing what we do—and making sure the dogs have a blast, too.
Just as importantly, we want you to have a great experience with us, whether it’s the most fun hour of your week in our group classes, relief from troubling issues through private dog training, or daily peace of mind through our daycare play group and dog walking services.
For all these reasons, we take our own education and professional development very seriously. (There’s that word again!)
Here’s what you should know about us and our credentials.
