Doggy Business Dog Training Portland

"Doug is exactly the person we needed to help us socialize our rescued (& formerly aggressive) English Bull Terrier (mini) !! Working with him leaves us inspired and educated each session --and continues to motivate & encourage humans and dogs alike to improve behaviors and relationships. Highly recommend Doug as a superb trainer both for people and their troubled dogs!"

"I was having multiple issues with my dog, when I reached out to Doug for help. I had been living a nightmare, and doubting my decisions. Within just a couple of sessions, his experience, expertise, patience and vast knowledge, truly paid off. One by one, we were able to come up with a plan, and solve each issue. I still don’t have a perfect dog, but I now have a dog that I can manage in a way that I wasn’t able to before. He doesn’t just work with the dog, he works with the owner to help understand and manage better. I definitely recommend Doug if you’re needing help."

"Over the years Doug has trained, and taught us to train, our three collies: Luke, Louie, and Lizzy. His methods are the most up-to-date and effective. We can't speak highly enough about Doug as a person and as a dog trainer."

"I could tell from the moment I met Doug that my puppers was going to thrive with him and I was right! We got my dog as a rescue at 5 years old and she was highly reactive to other dogs in a not good way. She would pull and strain against her leash when she saw other dogs playing or running, even at a distance. After just a few sessions with Doug, she learned to calm down and feel safer in those spaces. He took the time to teach us how to work with her and to spot some of her triggers. She responded so well to him and his patient, kind approach. He also made it fun for her and focused the training on positive reinforcement, giving her the time and space to figure things out for herself. I HIGHLY recommend Doug!"

"We can't recommend Doug at Doggie Business Training enough! We adopted Charlie, a rescue chihuahua who had severe resource guarding issues, and we were at a loss on how to help him. After working with Doug for a few weeks, we saw a significant improvement in our Charlies' behavior. The techniques and training methods used by Doug were effective and tailored to Charlie's specific needs. We appreciate the patience, compassion, and expertise that Doug brought to each session. Charlie is now happier, actually enjoys being picked up, loves to go out and about, and we owe it all to the team at Doggie Business Training. If you're looking for a dog behaviorist who knows their stuff, look no further than Doug!"
