About Us
At Curated Canines, we redefine the realm of professional dog training in Portland, with a commitment to excellence and a passion for fostering stronger bonds between humans and their beloved canine companions. Here at Curated Canines, we provide a bespoke small-batch in home training service that stands as a testament to the unparalleled benefits of a personalized, rewards based balanced dog training experience. We are situated in the scenic West Hills of Portland, Oregon. Our in-home board and train programs offer trainees the unique opportunity to reside inside the home with their trainer on a sprawling 5-acre training retreat, while also benefiting from diverse training experiences throughout the Portland metropolitan area
Training Methods Founded on Established Principals
from Globally Recognized Dog Training Institutions.
Rewards based balanced training techniques align seamlessly with the natural form of communication for dogs, a language ingrained in their social dynamics. From a young age, every pup learns essential life skills and boundaries through the principles that mirror rewards based balanced training methods, emulating the same methods used by their mothers from a young age.
These principles form the foundation of how dogs interact within their social groups, ensuring a harmonious exchange of signals that reinforce the pack's cohesion.
By incorporating these training techniques, we not only tap into the instinctual language dogs use to communicate with one another, but also enhance the understanding between humans and their canine companions. This approach reinforces effective communication, mutual respect, and a stronger bond within the diverse canine-human social structure.
At Curated Canines, we believe that a home is where the heart is, and that principle extends to our training philosophy. Our in-home board and train programs mirror the daily living environments of our canine students, allowing for a seamless transition from training sessions, to everyday life. This unique approach not only accelerates the learning process but also instills behaviors that are readily applicable in the real-world settings where dogs spend the majority of their time.
Our board and train students not only master commands within the comfort of home but also learn to hone in their obedience skills in bustling markets, pet-friendly stores, and amidst the natural beauty of parks and trails around Portland, OR. This strategic exposure ensures that our canine students are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the outside world with confidence and grace.
