Recommended Amount of Classes

The class range often depends on the owner's goals for the dogs. Off leash training and other advanced lessons take longer to develop.I generally recommend that most adult dogs take between 4-6 classes. Puppies need anywhere between 6-12 classes due to their inability to focus for long times and their high energy levels. Remember, every dog has its own personality and requires different amounts of attention (just like children). We will tailor training to your dogs specific needs.

I train dogs in the following areas: Happy Valley, Damascus, Sandy, Clackamas, West Linn, Lake Oswego, Boring, Oregon City, and the extended Portland Metro Area. 

Dog Training with Downward Dog

Private training sessions can be done at your home. These sessions last between 1-1.5 hours depending on the dog's energy level. Here the owner will be able to discuss any behavioral issues and receive advice and hands-on training to address the issues that are happening in the dog's environment.

Downward Dog has simplified obedience training by eliminating less used commands and sticking with the most commonly used ones on a daily basis, effectively forming leveraging the popular “8 Common Commands” system.

“Instead of teaching my dogs 20 commands that they might not be great at, I teach them to be perfect at the 8 most common commands you say on a daily basis which are: Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Off, Heel, Touch, and Leave It." 

"We pride ourselves on our animal training reputation; reputation is everything where I’m from. I get results that make people happy and give them a restored order in their home. Makes it a very satisfying job.” - Baylee Ellis

The instruction is tailored to you and your dog so we can concentrate specifically on what you need. 

With our personalized instruction we will create a custom training plan that focuses on the behaviors that you consider the most important or challenging.  We adapt our teaching methods according to your preferred style of learning and you will have the undivided attention of the coach.  We can also suggest modifications to your home environment to manage the dog’s behavior and make it easier to be successful in training.

At the end of each session, a personalized email is sent to you summarizing the session and the next steps and activities to work on for the next session.
