Private sessions We offer a variety of behavioral services that are custom fitted to  your needs and the needs of your dog. From individualized puppy training that covers the basics like house breaking and positive training techniques, to complex behavioral issues, like fear aggression, and dog aggression, Gooddogz is committed to helping your family dog.

Start your dog out right! It is much easier to teach proper behavior than correct bad.  Learn training techniques that are fun and effective for both you and your dog.

Your dog is your responsibility and he/she is counting on you!

In home services are $65 per hour in the Portland area.  Mileage charges apply over 10 miles.   

Private sessions at Pet Quarters -  limited availability - $50.

All private sessions come with phone and email follow-ups as well as printed instructions.

Teaching your dogs tricks is a great way to engage them and teach them how to learn.  Clickers are encouraged!  No prior clicker experience is necessary. Want to have some fun with your dog and impress your family and friends?  Learn to teach your dog to spin, kiss, sing and dance, turn off a light, shut a door, fetch your slippers, and take a bow while learning techniques such as luring, shaping, modeling,  and targeting. The class will offer a relaxed and fun environment. Tricks not only create a stronger bond, it will improve your handling skills and bring lots of smiles and laughter to friends and family. Actual tricks taught depend entirely on dogs  attending class and your ability to have fun.  This class includes basic concepts of both agility and Freestyle (dancing with your dog).  

Come work towards developing your own freestyle routine!


Please note: The students and dogs attending this class should know some basic obedience commands in order to get the maximum benefit out of the class. This is not a class for constant barkers, reactive dogs, or dogs with space issues.

Price $15.00    limited to 8 dogs
