Kindred Dog PDX Dog Training offers a comprehensive and supportive approach to dog training. With their gentle yet firm methodology, the experienced trainers help owners build confidence in their dogs' abilities, whether it's improving recall, addressing anxiety, or overcoming behavioral issues. The training program, which includes a 4-week Board and Train, has yielded remarkable results, transforming dogs from anxious and reactive to calm and confident. Kindred Dog PDX's expertise and dedication have empowered owners to become capable and confident dog handlers, allowing them to enjoy stress-free adventures with their furry companions. Customers praise the trainer, Ruben, as a "dog whisperer" who provides personalized guidance and support, fostering a sense of community among owners through regular group classes. Clients have reported amazing results after just a few sessions, with their dogs becoming well-behaved and obedient, no longer pulling on the leash or reacting to other dogs. The training has allowed owners to feel more comfortable and confident when walking their dogs.
Shane and Ruben had my chocolate lab JJ for their six week program. JJ came home a different dog! They truly did a wonderful job teaching him place command, walking skills, listening skills, lessened his reactivity to the internal and external environments, and so much more. Before his training with Kindred Dog PDX, JJ had a hard time listening, would jump up on counter tops, windows, people, and play parkour all over the furniture. By teaching JJ a simple "Nope" command as well as many other things, JJ listens and much of his behaviors have been lessened and deterred altogether. It was absolutely impossible to walk JJ on a leash due to pulling and constant barking at other animals/people. While it is always a work in progress, JJ can now heel and knows not to pull when walking. While I understand it is up to me to continue these training techniques at home to have continued success with JJ, Kindred Dog PDX gave us the skills and resources needed to have a successful training experience with JJ and in turn it has improved our quality of life immensely! Highly recommend this program and I cannot thank them enough!
Ruben and Shane at Kindred Dog PDX are amazing at working with a variety of Dogs and their traits…in addition to their owners. Their training is tailored to you and your situation. They’ve worked with all 3 of my dogs, with different ages and personalities and I’ve had amazing results. Each had their own little things that needed work. Ruben and Shane’s ongoing support to make sure the dogs continue to thrive has been an amazing source of support. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for training, support or learning how to advocate for your dog. From in person to virtual training, they are the best!
Ruben has been a great source of support as I have been learning to set up my new puppy for success. I can now confidently take her out in public, on walks, and she can remain calm and focused even with distractions. I understand so much more about the fundamentals that keep pups feeling happy and safe and meeting my dog's needs so that we can have tons of fun together, consistently.
