Welcome!

We are professional animal trainers who utilize humane, ethical, and science-based techniques to train animals and the people who care for them. ​As dog behavior enthusiasts our mission is to help our clients understand what is causing behaviors so we can address them in a holistic way. We want our clients to leave their training sessions with a new understanding of their pet and a plan to help them live more cohesively. Our top priority is showing compassion for people and their animals. We look forward to helping you and your dog.

Services

Group Classes

These classes focus on a unique curriculum and plenty of individual coaching to help you and your dog learn new skills while enjoying your time together. Our goal is to create a fun atmosphere that is both educational and enjoyable for the whole family. 

Day Training

Your time is valuable so let us do the bulk of the training for you! We will work with your dog 1:1 in multiple training sessions each week to teach them the skills they need to live in our world. As your dog learns, we will meet to update you on progress and coach you through getting the same behaviors when we’re not around.

Private Lessons

If you are looking for one-on-one attention, we offer many options. Private lessons take place conveniently in your home where we work through exercises tailored specifically for your dog. From puppies to adult dogs, these training sessions allow for maximum flexibility for you and your pet.

Testimonials

“I love working with Cascade K9! I worked directly with Poppy on reactivity both in and out of the house with my mixed breed dog. They are lovely and knowledgeable people that are very supportive of your goals. I would recommend 10/10!”

“I did Puppy Preschool with my Shiba. The variety of exposure to fake vet visits, umbrellas, train whistles, and everything in between was INVALUABLE-- nothing phases him now! 100% recommend Cascade K9!”

Monica Z.

“My fiancé & I have 2 stubborn young pugs, and we were ready to rip our hair out over basic obedience and even potty training. Within 5 minutes, Poppy had our youngest dog sitting! We are forever grateful for Cascade Canine & will recommend them over and over again!

“I absolutely recommend Cascade Canine Training for all dog owners. Their professionalism, extensive knowledge, and wide-range of experience are unsurpassed. Our trainer, Poppy, made a huge difference starting with day 1. We couldn't be more pleased.”

“Kay was amazing with our dog Chip. She was extremely patient and kind. Coming from another trainer, Chip had some bad habits we needed to work through. I am very pleased. I would highly recommend!”
