Training For You AND Your Dog


Cris and Mic wait politely for Angie to open the door. Good dogs!Does your dog need to brush up on her manners? Or maybe you both could use some help with your inter-species communication skills? We can help! We offer several types of training at PDX to accommodate your schedule and goals:

Group Classes

Group classes are the most cost effective AND productive ways to train your dog. We focus on teaching you how to teach your dog so that you develop the skills necessary to work with your pet every single day to reinforce the lessons learned and strengthen the bond that makes your dog so special to you and your family. Group classes are held weekly, indoors at our facility just north of downtown Chattanooga. Classes are generally an hour long, and cost $95 for a series of 6. Please see the Training Schedule for upcoming classes.

Individual Training

Private classes are especially effective for dogs with space issues or handlers looking for intensive, focused training. We can customize private classes for aggressive or fearful dogs, performance objectives (Rally, Obedience, Agility, Flyball, Freestyle, or Conformation), or companion dog issues. Private classes are $60/hour, and are scheduled by appointment only.

Boarding Training

Boarding training combines boarding with intensive, dedicated training sessions customized for your goals. The minimum duration is one week, and your dog attends daycare during the day in addition to training, boarding, and grooming services. The cost is $350/week, and results are guaranteed as long as you attend the follow up train-the-trainer class and practice the skills your dog has learned every day. Please see our Boarding Training Agreement for details.

Consultation

Have you ever wished you could talk to an expert to get specific advice? We're here to help! Private consultations cover everything from selecting the right breed for you to behavior counseling. We can save you time and effort, and help clarify what will work best for your situation, lifestyle, and personality. Private consultations are $60/hour, and are scheduled by appointment only.

Seminars

We frequently offer public seminars covering a wide range of topics including health and nutrition, grooming, and behavior. For the canine sports enthusiast, we offer specialized seminars and workshops with some of the top competitors and judges across many fields including agility, freestyle, Rally, flyball, obedience, lure coursing, and earth dog. Please check the Calendar page for the latest information.

"To train a dog you have to be more interesting then spit on a sidewalk.  If you are not more interesting then spit on a sidewalk, then you only have to control access to the spit on the sidewalk."
Sue Ailsby
"Rely on your relationship, not on your leash."
Sheila Booth

Never repeat a command. Most dogs are not deaf; they just choose not to listen.
Connie Jankowski

Intelligent dogs rarely want to please people whom they do not respect.
