Transform Your Dog's Behavior in One Class

Trusted Dog Training in Portland, Oregon.
One-on-one classes to stop jumping, barking, pulling, and biting so you can have a dog you love living with.

Serving families and their dogs for over 30 years.

At The Canine Classroom, we don’t just train dogs — we help you build a better relationship with your dog. We know you want a dog who is a pleasure to live with. Based in Portland, we’ve spent over three decades helping local families overcome common behavior challenges like aggression, barking, housebreaking issues, biting, chewing, and jumping. We teach your dog to come when called - even at the park! Whether your dog’s just a little too unruly or showing serious behavioral problems, we’re here to help — with methods that work and a personalized approach.

One-on-One Training That Works

Our training is hands-on, personalized, and built around you and your dog. We’ve found that the most lasting results come when we work directly with both the dog and the owner — because how you interact with your dog shapes their behavior more than anything else.

 

In every session, we’ll guide you through practical techniques and give you clear, honest feedback tailored to your dog’s unique needs. With one-on-one time, you’ll be able to ask questions, build confidence, and practice at your own pace — without distractions.

​

Our goal is to help you become a calm, confident leader your dog naturally wants to follow. No gimmicks. No harsh methods. Just effective, respectful training that creates real change and a healthy relationship.

​

Within a few weeks, you’ll feel more connected and in control — and you’ll see that reflected in your dog’s everyday behavior.

Helping Dogs of All Breeds and All Ages

Whether you’ve just welcomed a new puppy into your home or your longtime companion is starting to show some challenging behaviors, the Canine Classroom is here to help. We create personalized training plans that work for both your dog’s personality and your lifestyle, no matter their age or breed. Unlike big-box training companies, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every dog is different, and our tailored approach makes sure they get the training that works for them.
