Cascadia Canine Training School

Our experience with Brian was life changing. We came to him with our out of control lab mix, who I was seriously regretting ever adopting, and left with absolute adoration. This dog, I now enjoy more than my kids most days😂. We still use his techniques daily, and will for the rest of our lives. Brian was kind and loving with our Gracie, and was SUPER patient with me and my million questions and worries. We completed our training over a year ago, and I have since recommended Brian to every dog owner I know, lol. Thanks so much!

In March of 2020, My wife and I welcomed a lovely 70lb 1 year old Samoyed named Leroy into our lives. We liked to describe him as 80% great dog and 20% needs improvement. His specific issues were excessive pulling on leash and a heavy prey drive i.e. (he would lose control around cats, birds, and squirrels) with excessive barking and pulling. We explored several options in Bend ranging from 3 week sleep away training programs to positive only trainers who refused to teach the word “no”. After a long search, we came across Bryan Castleberry and Cascadia K9. We could not give Bryan a more glowing endorsement if we tried. He helped Leroy become a better dog and us become better owners. Bryan is the definition of a professional who truly knows not only how to communicate with your dog, but how to teach you to be the best leader possible. His “pay as you go approach” class structure was incredibly flexible and the benefits of each session were immediate. He’s taught us loose leash walking, door manners, healing, sit stays, down stays, and so many other amazing tools to have a well behaved pup. Leroy really loves him as well. If you have a good dog and you are looking for guidance on ways to make them great, look no further than Bryan. He is a tremendous trainer that I would recommend to anyone. After 6 classes and graduation from “Obedience School”, we are now going back for four more classes to learn how to master off leash work with an e collar (the right way). Thanks for everything Bryan! You are tremendous to work with! Brian, Mary, and Leroy

We have a very high energy, ~10 year old dog who has struggled with meeting other dogs his whole life. After only 2 private sessions, Bryan had us in a pen with 10 or more stranger dogs. We never would have imagined this was possible! Our dog now has the appropriate skills and tools for meeting other dogs, and his obedience around other dogs is impeccable. We have been to other dog classes but Bryan's style was a perfect match for us. We will be taking more classes from him in the future and have recommended him to all of our friends. Thanks Bryan!

Bryan has been a god send for my house. My rescue boy Quill was good with the basics, but had issues loose leash walking, barking and showed signs of aggression with other dogs and resource guarding at home. Quill is now the most well trained dog I have ever owned. My house is quiet and I have a loving companion. Bryan is Bend’s best dog trainer around. He’s kind, yet strict, makes everything very easy to follow and has a calm about him that the dogs really pick up on. He will be the only trainer I ever use for any dog i own!
