We use proven, reward-based training techniques, and we work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Put your pooch in our hands, and we’ll help them learn the necessary skills to become the perfect companion.
Experts in Training Puppies and Dogs
The dog training industry is completely unregulated – there are no licensing requirements to set up shop as a professional dog trainer in Oregon. As such, many people who claim to be training gurus actually have little to no education or experience.
That’s not the case at Blackwood Canine. Our professional trainers have completed certification programs and apprenticeships, and we seek out continuing education opportunities to expand our knowledge. Add in the fact that our business has been going strong for more than 10 years, and it’s easy to see why Beaverton pet owners rely on us for professional dog training.
Private Dog Training Lessons
One-on-one training can be highly effective for puppies and adult dogs, and at Blackwood Canine, we use a positive, consistent approach to encourage proper behavior. We offer a range of options for private dog training, including:
Puppy Jump Start – a 3-week foundational program for pups as young as 8 weeks of age, with two private lessons per week
In-Home Training – private lessons that allow dogs to learn in the environment where they’ll be putting their new skills and behaviors into practice
In-Facility Training – private lessons at our state-of-the-art training facility in Scappoose, just a short drive from Beaverton
Board-and-Train Immersion Programs
For some dogs, attending a live-in boarding and training program – otherwise known as dog boot camp – is the best way to learn new skills and understand how to behave. Blackwood Canine offers the following board-and-train programs, all of which feature follow-up private lessons to ensure continued success:
Immersion Program – a dog boot camp with a 4- to 6-week duration, with training focused on socialization, obedience, behavior, and basic life skills
Behavior Modification – a board-and-train program that lasts for 6 to 8 weeks, designed for dogs with mild anxieties, phobias, and behavioral issues
Advanced Re-Conditioning – an 8- to 10-week boarding and training program for dogs that act aggressive or and those with severe anxiety
