Find a Dog Trainer in Mill Creek

We are so happy we found PNW Canine! Our 2 year old dog Bruno had developed reactivity with other dogs and people, primarily as a result of attending doggy daycare on an almost daily basis, as well us not having the knowledge or tools for how to address these issues. This would include jumping on people, sometimes lunging, and barking or growling. He was almost always in an aroused energetic state, he would pull on the leash on walks, parkour around the house, demand attention, and was a bulldozer with people and dogs. We also didn’t realize the things we were doing that were contributing to the problem, like babying him and not being consistent with what was expected of him. We found PNW Canine after searching the internet and reaching out to local trainers. We felt like they could be a great fit and decided to set up a consult, which went great! We did a 6 week board and train for Bruno, and worked with Brianna for all of Bruno’s training. She was amazing in her communication and flexibility in regards to scheduling, email correspondence, providing updates on Bruno’s progress, and at the midway lesson. She is extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She increased our awareness and understanding of how we can advocate for Bruno, and focus on his state of mind. Bruno was very overstimulated by the doggy daycare free-for-all environment and it lacked the structure he needs. He has improved SO much because PNW Canine helped channel his energy and taught us how to implement structure, boundaries, consistency, clear direction and earned affection in order to create respect and understanding. We’ve learned just as much as Bruno through this process and we are all better for it. We will follow through with his training and we feel confident that this foundation will continue to improve our relationship with Bruno so we can co-exist with more harmony and insight into dog psychology. We also loved seeing updates and videos of Bruno on their Instagram page. After board and train, Bruno is able to loose leash walk, has gained recall and follow skills, he is crate trained, knows place command, down, stays until released, waits at thresholds, and has more confidence and calm manners. We are still working on his interactions with strangers and new guests in the home, but we feel we have the tools and knowledge to make progress in this area. Brianna also has been so helpful with follow up lessons included and that has really been beneficial. In addition, we love and appreciate that we will be able to utilize PNW Canine in the future for boarding when we go out of town. We have had a wonderful experience with PNW Canine and would highly recommend their services.

We needed last minute boarding over the 4th of July! Canine experience was able to fit us in and took great care of River, my brother-in-law’s Belgian Malinois. He received good care and came home happy.

An excellent place to board your dog or have training done. this is also the place to go to purchase a real GERMAN German Shepherd!!! Great breeding and a great property!
