Paxton can be a little shy and timid, so…read moreit's incredibly important to us that he's somewhere he feels safe, comfortable, and secure, and he absolutely loves going to Denise's. She takes such wonderful care of him and truly treats him like one of her own. Whether he's there just for daycare or staying for an extended visit while we're away, we never have to worry about him. He always comes home tired, happy, and clearly well loved. When we go on vacation, it gives us so much peace of mind knowing Paxton is in such caring and capable hands. Denise also has tons of room for the dogs to run, play, and just enjoy being dogs, which Paxton loves. I honestly can't say enough good things about Denise. Finding someone you completely trust with your dog is such a gift, and we feel very lucky to have found her. We highly recommend The Canine Junkie!

We recently brought our 8-month-old pup to the adolescent social sessions here and went in really…read morehopeful that it would be a fun, positive experience for him. On the positive side, the staff were consistently friendly, kind, and clearly care about the dogs. They created a welcoming environment, and we appreciated their kindness. Unfortunately, the experience itself didn't quite work out for us. Our dog is an intact male, and he ended up in a group with all females, one of whom had recently gone through a heat cycle. The facility allows females who have recently been in heat, but unfortunately their scent just isn't conducive to a group social setting like this, especially for young intact males. The first week this happened we assumed it was just a temporary challenge and gave it the benefit of the doubt, but the issue continued during our next session. The scent was simply too distracting for him- and even other females were distracted by the scent. Our dog who normally socializes well in other group settings, became too fixated and overstimulated for any type of learning or appropriate social interaction. We really tried to give this facility a fair shot and came back again hoping for a better experience, but ultimately our dog had to remain leashed the entire session time, which completely defeats the purpose of a social/play session. We have now found a facility with stricter guidelines around females in heat.

From the owner: I believe that your dog should feel at home and treated like family. They should never be kenneled…read morefor long periods of time. Traveling should never be stressful for you or your dog. I would be a great option for you of you adopted a dog from a shelter/rescue as I have the training and background for it. I offer puppy/dog socialization for anyone needing to socialize their pups around other vaccinated dog-friendly dogs. If you are looking to board your dog with us we send daily updates and pictures of your dog(s) unless requested otherwise. Completely comfortable administering scheduled/needed medications while in our care. Families are more than welcome to schedule a call to ask any questions and I can answer them as well as elaborate on my work experience and qualification's. I love and enjoy cats very much, I offer pet sitting services for cat owners as well and have a kitty room that's completely cat friendly or I can travel to your residence once or twice a day to care for your cat(s) and do wellness checks on them/spend time with them if you live 20 minutes or under from my residence. I also offer this to dog owners who would rather have their dog stay in the comfort or their home IF AND ONLY IF they have a humane setup for their dog at home and do not have scheduled medications needing administered at a strict time.

I messed up and had to change the date and they responded with "no problem, we adjusted, look forward to speaking to you." When we finally had our phone consultation both my husband and I fell in love with Ursula's bubbly personality and knowledge. She spoke to us about our dog's issues and made some suggestions for immediate help and then suggested a trainer for anxiety. But we wanted to make sure we could try with her first so we are setting up an in person as we feel she can definitely help us and our dog. They are responsive, understanding and truly care. Ursula listened carefully to our concerns and gave us great suggestions and feedback. So I cannot recommended them highly enough just based on that. BUT I know we will love her when we start training (and I'll definitely update my review!)

Ursula and Dennis, are not only dog whisperers but are easy to communicate with, quick to respond to any questions or concerns and are all around two of the nicest people we've met in Portland. They did not promise a "quick fix" but rather provided us with a foundation of rules and tools to help improve both our lives and Habibi's life. We enrolled Habibi in the Lodge & Learn program, and we could't be happier or more impressed with the results; he came out obedient, confident but still his goofy self. Honestly, we were anxious to to trust someone with our baby for an entire month but after speaking with Ursula on the phone, we felt confident he would be in good hands and that the Lodge and Learn program was the right fit for him. The transition from our home to their place, was the hardest part, but also went flawless and was executed perfectly. Once he was back at their place we constantly got pictures & texts to update us on his progress and they always felt like just a text or phone call away. They have continued to be impactful and available in Habibi's training once he has been home. He continues to grow and improve thanks to their love, training and guidance. The visible changes Habibi has shown speaks volumes to the program they run & the people they are. They have given so much love and attention to our guy & instilled confidence and happiness, and Habibi is truly a BETTER DOG! His ability to listen to commands, walk on a leash without pulling, or simply sitting at a park has brought so much happiness to my family. We will forever be thankful for the work The Better Dog Co, Ursula & Dennis have done for our lives & Habibi's life.

During a recent pedicure at Angel Nails, I noticed the Zoom Room so I told my husband about it and he signed us up for a free intro class. Upon arrival we were greeted by the sweetest person and the front desk. She got us checked in and took our pup's first day photo - adorable. After getting checked in we waited and browsed their merchandise which included a lot of training treat options that we hadn't seen before. When it was time for class to begin, we got settled at our station. The trainer was kind and funny and taught us a few new things. Our puppy was very excited and interested in the other dogs but we eventually got her to pay attention to us about halfway through the class. Overall we had a good experience, but did find class to be a bit distracting with the various puppies and parents in attendance. We may consider returning for private training sessions in the future.
