Sauvie Island Kennel 23200 Northwest Reeder Road, Portland, OR 97231

"We took our Great Pyr here for training. Amy and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic. Moose’s behavior had been frustrating prior to training (lots of life changes including a work schedule change and us moving) and the team at Sauvie got him set right. He walks amazing on a leash, is listening to what we say, has been more playful and somehow even better around other dogs than before. I can’t say enough good stuff about the staff and facilities. We will for sure be boarding our dogs here whenever needed and taking all future pets here for training. They also did a great job grooming him while he was there; i think he was cleaner when we got him than when we dropped him off lol!"

"Absolutely love this place for both training and boarding. Brooklyn in particular was a HUGE help with our reactive shepherd. We opted for the month-long training and I only wish we did it sooner. We feel so lucky to have a fun and engaging place to board our boy while we're out of town. For an anxious dog to arrive and always show signs of being happy to be there, that's a big deal. I can't recommend enough."

"These folks are true professionals, I am so grateful that our Choc Labradoodle was able to work with this wonderful training team! We have a loving pup who listens now. After a month here working with Brooklyn, he is walking better on leash, sit, stay, heel, and place. It’s so much more peaceful in our home and we have so much fun with Bear and his newfound skills. Thank you Sauvie Island Kennel!"

"So far we are very pleased with the training that Amy is doing with our 2 German shepherd pups..They are like night and day in behavior and commands learned. I also love the way my girls are treated with love and compassion while being boarded."

"I have boarded my two dogs here twice now, and am really happy with their standard of care. Their facility is clean and they seem pretty organized. I have never boarded either of my dogs in a kennel atmosphere except for their board and trains (in a different town), and was nervous to leave them for just general boarding. My dog Charlie is pretty shy and nervous, and both my dogs are pretty active and require lots of exercise. Every staff member I have interacted with has been very kind and helpful, answered all my questions, and treated my dogs really well. They are patient and intentional. I was surprised at how happy Charlie was to leave with them the first time, and the second time he was stoked to return. They even noticed how much more comfortable he was for his next visit after warming up the first time. Both times they came home happy and with no stress. My other dog loves everyone and everything so she adapted immediately. They are willing to accommodate my dogs raw diet during their stay, and because my dogs are off leash trained they get to have fun running around in their field under supervision. I will definitely be continuing to board with them in the future when the need arises."
