Dog Training

Our Balanced Approach to Dog Training

The Scooby Shack’s certified dog trainers have experience in various proven and positive-focused dog training methods at our Lake Oswego facility. This allows our trainers to assess your dog’s individual situation and provide effective training. We have programs designed specifically for puppies and training solutions to help pet parents with common problems with dogs of all ages.

Our comprehensive system is designed for three major objectives:

  • Teach your dog to respond to verbal commands
  • Teach you and your family how to maintain & even improve your dog’s behaviors at home
  • Provide training tools and ongoing support to ensure lasting results
