About Doglingual Canine Training

Connection-driven training in Beaverton

Doglingual Canine Training offers dog training and boarding in Beaverton, serving Washington County towns including Hillsboro, Cornelius, North Plains and Forest Grove, plus McMinnville. Its tagline is "Where dogs and humans finally speak the same language," and it describes itself as woman-led, Latina and veteran-owned, with a small, boutique facility that feels more like a retreat than a kennel.

The team

Co-founder and head trainer Tamara moved to Oregon in 2017 and built her skills through hands-on practice at a local training company; she is also a dog photographer and a Herm Sprenger canine partner. Assistant trainer Carsyn spent eight years in the Army, started training with her own animal-reactive dog and has studied through CATCH Academy. The team holds Pet First Aid and CPR certifications and offers free evaluations to local rescues.

Services

Programs include board-and-trains, private lessons and group dog hikes, each tailored to the owner's lifestyle and the dog's personality, with a focus on practical life skills and "connections over commands."

What owners say

One owner of an adolescent shepherd wrote, "My bond with my dog has only improved since we met her."
