Specialized Training Services
Puppy Training Consultation
Puppy Training Consultation is a one-hour consultation for dogs under five months old.
Published information describes introductory obedience, house training, crate training, socialization, household structure, and puppy-training questions as possible areas of discussion.
The consultation provides early guidance rather than a multi-week training program.
Dog Aggression Training
Four-lesson and eight-lesson Dog Aggression Training options are currently available.
Four-Lesson Dog Aggression Training provides one-on-one training focused on selecting an appropriate training tool and working on recall, sit, extended sit, heel, and down.

Aggression outcomes are not guaranteed.
Share relevant aggression, reactivity, and bite history during the consultation so the team can discuss appropriate program options.
Therapy Dog Preparation
Therapy Dog Preparation includes eight lessons intended to prepare a dog and owner for therapy-dog testing and certification.
After successful program completion, evaluation and certification may be available through Therapy Pets Unlimited.
Enrollment does not automatically guarantee therapy-dog certification.
In-Home Dog Training
In-home dog training is also available through the Portland team. Training may take place in or around the client’s home depending on the program and current availability.
Aloha residents can discuss in-home training during the free phone consultation.
