Our 90 day relationship reset course gives you everything you need to start to getting better behavior from your dog.

No matter what issues your are dealing with this course will have you covered.

Most behavior issues stem from a lack of clarity. Our dogs simply don’t understand what we are asking of them. This course will help clear that up.

Everything you want starts with the clear communication and solid understanding of the fundamentals.

This course also includes our No More Pulling walk series so you can get out and start enjoying walks again.

I know this economy right now is questionable. Investing in training may be difficult at this time. At just $39 bucks you can get everything you need to start training.

You will also get access to a private Facebook group so you can ask personalized questions along your journey. I will answer those for you so you can get clarity on your issue.

Comment “reset” and we’ll send you the link to get access.

You want change and your dog does too!

Hello everyone! My name is Ruben.

We have a bunch of new followers so I thought I would do another introduction so you can get to know me a little more.

Before starting Kindred Dog PDX I was a dog owner first.

I got my first dog when I was 19 years old. Due to living situations he went to live my parents. I wouldn’t have another dog until I was about 25. She was a French bulldog named Maayawa. She was such a great dog. After her came Oso and then Lucy. Oso showed me the importance of training and lifestyle adjustments in order for the dogs in the house to thrive.

To say I was in over my head with Oso is an understatement. Oso showed me that he needed more than just love. He was going after the other animals in the house and was very difficult to handle and manage when both inside the house and outside the house.

It was a major pain point for years. It wasn’t for lack of trying. I was reading, hiring trainers, watching videos. While some things helped there was always a gap.

As time went on I saw there was something missing here for people with difficult dogs. I went on to learn how to work with these kinds of dogs and help their owners.

Kindred Dog PDX came to life in 2014 and it’s been amazing to witness the growth of the business and all the dogs over the years.

So take a look around. We have tons of videos here and our YouTube page. We have also created an online training courses that teaches you how to start working with your dog and get the problem behaviors to stop.

Thank you for your continued support!!

Olive left a few weeks ago after her 4 week board and train.

She’s a nervous girl but made some really great progress during her stay.

Board and trains aren’t a “fix” they create a baseline to build off of. Sure some behaviors will be “fixed” but the real magic comes in when the owner and dog reunite a continue the path together.

A board and train is a conduit to a better relationship with your dog. Instead of feeling defeated and not knowing where to start or even how to remedy something. This type of program can help clear that path for you.

In addition to creating a clear pathway you will have help alongside you. We are here to help you on your journey. When you have the foundation in place help is easy.

If you think you could benefit from a board and train comment “board and train” and let’s chat!!

Let’s welcome our newest guest Poppy!

This sweet girl is joining us for our 4 week board and train.

No serious issues with her. She an over energetic girl and that energy spills out into other areas.

From her contract - It’s difficult to walk Poppy - she is so excited to go that her body is uncontrollable. She is often all over the place on walks and barking at distractions. - especially when we are walking as a family. She gets overexcited in playing at home and jumps all over people in a way that isn’t fun. We would like to be able to walk or bring her to more social situations, but her uncontrollable excitement limits that.

We will be working on calming Poppy down, teaching her how to take direction around distractions and teach her owners how to handle those situations she struggles with.

Watch Poppy here to see her progress in the program! We are excited to have her join us!

Biscuit reunited with his owners last week!

Biscuit left the same but different. Training doesn’t take away from your dog it only adds to them.

He came in for reactivity issues, walking better on the leash, and overall better listening skills. He joined up for our 6 week off leash board and train and left a new dog! 👏👏

We are thrilled to have been part of their journey and we look forward to seeing them again for their follow up!

If you’re experiencing dog troubles, such as puppy issues, on and off leash obedience and manners, or more serious behavior issues, our approach to dog training has been giving owners the help they need for over 10 years. DM us today and we let’s get started!

Calvin graduated today!

Calvin warmed up quickly here and we got to enjoy all the amazing qualities of that sweet boy!

He learned a nice new set of manners in his 4 week foundations program and made us proud when working with mom and bother!

He is the “same but different” and we couldn’t be happier for their future together!

We’ll be looking to seeing them for their follow up in a few weeks and seeing them in group class!

Repetition is what will build the skill...Duke is with us for a couple more weeks so we are working on hard getting in those reps. The more he practices the better he will understand what we are asking...I’m also using him as a good distraction for the other to practice their PLACE command. It’s good for them to continue learning how to observe when something is going on. A lot of owners generally want a spot for their dog to go to and chill. This how that is done....If you’re experiencing dog troubles, such as puppy issues, on and off leash obedience and manners, or more serious behavior issues, our approach to dog training has been giving owners the help they need for over 10 years......
