Cascadia Canine Training School

Bryan and the Cascadia Canine Training School are absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend him highly enough! Bryan came highly recommended to me by 5 friends who were previous clients. I have a large mastiff puppy, Walter, who is my 2nd dog but first puppy. Before we started working with Bryan, I needed both hands and all of my strength to walk my giant puppy. After 1 week working with Bryan, I could walk my puppy with just 2 fingers! I was a little hesitant about using a prong collar at first but Bryan's love of dogs and support were super helpful and the results really paid off! Walter was very sensitive to the collar at first but doesn't mind wearing it at all anymore. After 6 sessions with Bryan, the training results were great and Walter now gets frequent compliments on his good behavior. Some of the training commands were unfamiliar to me as a previous dog owner but now I can't imagine a day without using the "wait" command for passing through doors, crossing streets, getting out of the truck, or anytime I would like Walter to wait before barging ahead. Bryan's commitment to dogs and training show with his lifetime support when enrolling in his training program. After each training session, I would often have questions when practicing and Bryan was prompt and extremely helpful in his replies. I'm sure I will have questions as Walter grows older and we gain new experiences together. I feel a lot better knowing that I can always contact Bryan when any training or behavior questions arise.

This is not your regular dog training school. I realized that as soon as I walked in and looked into the large (and crazy-clean) play areas, holding ten or so dogs, and it was quiet! The dogs were interested in me, but calm and happy -- truly a well-adjusted pack. Just the week prior, I left my dog at another facility, where every dog was barking frantically and jumping at the kennel doors. No surprise that my dog came home with a number of bad habits. Brian is great with my dog, very intuitive and knowledgeable. I had to drive from Prineville each day for this training, AND IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT!
