Pet Boarding Training in Portland

“Auren started coming here when we moved to SE Portland. She gets so excited when we pull up! The staff know her well and care for her and all the dogs. The pictures and updates are great!“

“Over 17 years, the Rose City crew took care of our loved cat. There was a time after moving to the west side that we went to other places, but never felt we got the same level of care that Rose City gave him. So, we started making the drive back to the east side, and so glad we did.

All the way to assessing his Quality of Life at the end, they treated him and us with dignity, the utmost care, and best intentions for his well-being. Special thank you to Drea, Dr. Beswick, and Hattie for the years of care, and to Dr. Taylor for walking us through his final stage; giving us the time to be with him and take him back home.

Couldn't give them any bigger recommendation for a veterinarian and care service. Thank you.“

“Our husky pup, Sampson loves this place! The biggest green flag is how comfortable and eager he is to see Virgil at drop off. He gets excited as soon as we pull off the freeway exit. Virgil definitely knows dogs and I appreciate the no BS attitude with the updates and during the initial evaluation. Dogs connect most when they respect the person in charge and Sampson definitely seems to. He’s always so chill after a visit at Dog Connection. Highly recommend“

“Big shout out to Emma and her excellent recall class. She was focused, precise, friendly, and encouraging to all the dogs and humans in our class and put the process of recall in perspective as an ingoing pursuit. Thank you Emma!“

“Taylor is amazing she always does and an exceptional job. She is very knowledgeable in her field. My dogs love her.“

“We think Ruben is amazing and has given us so many helpful ways to help with this puppy! She was only about 8 months when we started. She is still a puppy for sure!!! But, we have so many options and good ways to teach and work with her. He seems to me like a dog whisperer. Again, I would recommend him to anyone! Joanna and Doug“

“My dog and I found the 201 training class so valuable! The trainers were approachable, encouraging, and able to meet each member of the class where they were at. My pup can be anxious, and Jaime and Valerie were able to find workarounds and offer guidance around her specific stressors. I already see a noticeable shift in her. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!“

“We can’t say enough good things about Steve at The Canine Classroom! Our Cane Corso is as stubborn as they come, and we were starting to feel like nothing was going to work. From the very first session, Steve’s calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach gave us hope. He doesn’t just train the dog, he teaches us how to communicate better and set our pup up for success.

The progress we’ve seen in such a short time is incredible. Our dog is more focused, responsive, and balanced than we ever thought possible, and we finally feel like we have the tools to keep moving forward. Steve is patient, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does.

If you’re struggling with a strong-willed dog, don’t waste time anywhere else. Go see Steve at The Canine Classroom!“

“We have been working with Ciera for only a month and I am confident that we will hack this together.

She has superb natural instincts, professional acumen, and a great bedside manner.

Dash has presented with a number of behaviors that we are struggling with.

Ciera has been invaluable in supporting me in shifting perspective; understanding the root causes while maximizing Dash’s strengths to address his weaknesses.

Like you would expect of any great coach!

Ciera, you have wiggled your way into our hearts and minds. We look forward to our continued journey together. ❤️J & D“

“A real special place where every employee truly cares. Thank you so much for what you do and the true empathy you showed me and Clyde earlier this week.“

“Harley has been a great trainer, my dogs have gone from naughty to be well trained and listen like service dogs.“

“Doug was recommended to me by a trainer I have been using for twenty plus years. My service dog was missing his siblings after their death and had become dog reactive. Doug walked with me to observe what was going on in my neighborhood. He gave me a procedure to follow and in no time my goldendoodle was ignoring other dogs. Once that was perfected around our complex we went to a nearby park and he walked with me to practice on unruly dogs. Gibbs was taking their ill behavior as an opportunity to play. I am in a wheelchair and he adjusted for my disability. He is a very pleasant person to learn from and we both enjoyed our training sessions. My service dog is an important part of my independence and Dougs' extensive knowledge of dog behavior gave us a tune up on how to handle this one issue as well as general helpful hints on everyday life with a 90lb dog.“

“Staff very friendly and helpful. Recognized pets names and needs. Definitely Dog lovers“

“I was feeling at the end of my rope with my 3 year old Golden doodle, Monkey. It seemed getting pulled around on walks and constantly apologizing for his aggression toward other dogs was just something I needed to live with if I was going to have this 90 lb fur ball in my life. One session with Mark completely changed my mindset. I am now working toward being the alpha in this relationship and both Monkey and I are much happier for it. Without sacrificing the love and affection I have for this boy, i find our walks so much more enjoyable as he trots along beside me. Basically Mark provided me with the training and Monkey has followed suit. it was worth every penny. I can't wait for our next session.
I highly recommend LOTP if you are at the end of your rope!“

“I wish Happy Go Lucky was recommended as the first puppy training I heard of! They are amazing and provide a great environment and instruction in a happy safe group setting, and even personalized coaching. Highly recommend.“

“I have been taking in stray cats since 2022, and have brought them all to halsey east. Dr Vockert and Dr Vidos are great. Very affordable for veterinary care, whether it's surgery, prescription, or just checkups. I have actually found that getting prescriptions here is cheaper than online, which is very convenient. They have a great team that is clearly very passionate about their work. I would not go to any other clinic.“

“My dog loves it. I call it playcare. That's what's happening. The staff is consistent so we see the same faces on a regular basis. I highly recommend it.“

“I have nothing but good things to say about Pounce Play and Stay. The staff have been very kind to both me and my kitty. My cat has been to them three times this year and they always give me daily photo updates to show that she's happy and having fun. Thank you, Pounce Play and Stay!“

“I only board my dog when I have to travel for work, and this was a great option when they were open a little later... I could leave a meeting in the Seattle area and pick up my pup on the way home. However, the shortened hours mean extra boarding nights when I really just need an extra 15 to 30 minutes to accommodate unpredictable traffic. And extra nights more chances that Club K-9 will waitlist my request, which doesn't help with work travel planning. I did all my training with the staff here... They are truly great humans. This just isn't working for me as well as it used to and I now supplement with other sitters through Rover. Club K-9 will still be my first choice, but I wish they reliable be my best choice.“

“We loved Risa and Zach for training our puppy - They don't just teach you basic commands, but they provide you with the tools to understand your dog's behaviors and cues so that you can learn to reinforce good behaviors on your own.

We've had training for our dog since he was a puppy, and now we have a very obedient, sweet and well socialized 3 year old adult dog. Thank you both for everything!“

“I've been using Bowser's Best Buddy for nearly a year - and they are great! My dog LOVES LOVES LOVES going to her once-a-week day-of-play and I feel very secure knowing she is in very competent, loving care while there. Drop off and pick up is a breeze. Photos and videos are sent throughout the day, to the delight of me and my family. The owners are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. I feel lucky to have found them!“

“Our dogs love wag along and we know they are in great hands especially for long trips. Our dogs look forward to our daycare days to meet their friends and Mary Ellen!“

“Love this place. We've boarded our dogs here for years now. It's a little off the beaten path from Portland, but the people are wonderful and my dogs seem happy.“

“We leave our child's doggo there when we aren't able to watch him due to schedules and they are kind, wonderful people and he always comes away happy.“
