About Atlas Canine PNW

Real-world training from Carlton

Atlas Canine PNW is a dog training business based in Carlton that serves McMinnville, Newberg and the rest of Yamhill County and the Willamette Valley. Its focus is real-world reliability: calm, obedient dogs that listen at home, on walks and in everyday life, with owners taught how to maintain the results.

Approach

The team uses a balanced training approach that emphasizes clarity, accountability, appropriate breed fulfillment and owner education. Every program is customized to the dog's temperament, environment and breed and to the owner's goals.

Programs

The Puppy Program builds a strong foundation for young dogs. The Board & Train is for dogs 6 months and older and runs a minimum of three weeks in a home setting. Private lessons come as a package of four sessions, typically 45 minutes to an hour each. Consultations are free.

What owners say

One client wrote that after a three-week board and train her five-year-old shepherd mix "is now able to live a more free lifestyle."
