Professional Dog Trainers of Choice in St. Helens, Oregon

Looking for a dedicated and experienced professional dog trainer? In St. Helens and the surrounding northwestern Oregon area, pet parents trust the team at Blackwood Canine.

We treat the dogs we’re training like family, and we’ve achieved great success by making learning fun. Whatever your training goals – and no matter your pooch’s age, breed, or temperament – our professional trainers are ready to provide you with results.

Highly Qualified Dog Trainers

 

Every professional trainer serving St. Helens claims to be an expert in dog training, but since the industry is unregulated, pet parents need to do their own homework. The trainer you choose to work with your pooch should have both education and experience – and that describes the team at Blackwood Canine.

Our professional dog trainers have not only completed apprenticeships and achieved certifications, but we’re also continuously working on furthering our knowledge. We use a balanced training approach and proven techniques, and our team is fully committed to providing exceptional dog training services.

Private Dog Training Programs

 

If you’d like to train your dog yourself, but need professional help to get the results you’re after, private lessons may be your ideal solution. At Blackwood Canine, we customize our dog training programs to better accommodate pet parents – and we’re ready to provide the advice and assistance you need. Our options for private training include:

 

  • Puppy Jump Start – a 3-week course of private lessons that give puppies a head start, putting them on the right path for successful training

  • In-Home Training – private lessons at your St. Helens home, with a focus on helping dog owners get their furry friends to behave

  • In-Facility Training – private lessons with a professional dog trainer at our first-rate facility, conveniently located in nearby Scappoose

Board-and-Train Programs

If you’re too busy to commit to a consistent training schedule – or if your efforts at dog training have been less than successful – you may benefit by enrolling your furry friend in an immersion program. Also known as dog boot camp, the board-and-train programs at Blackwood Canine are customized to each individual pooch. Depending upon your needs, you can choose one of the following:

  • Immersion Program – a dog boot camp that lasts for 4 to 6 weeks, with our professional trainers working to achieve specific goals

  • Behavior Modification – a 6- to 8-week boarding and training program for over-socialized dogs and those with behavioral issues

  • Advanced Re-Conditioning – a board-and-train program with an 8- to 10-week duration, designed to help aggressive and severely anxious dogs
