About Best Dog Training Academy

Day training and board and train

Best Dog Training Academy in Sherwood offers dog training and boarding across the Portland metro area, with day training and board-and-train programs and a first session starting at $99.

Day training

Dogs are dropped off in the morning and picked up after their session, and within the service area the team can handle pick-up and drop-off. The Core Training Program is 9 two-hour sessions over three weeks for $1,300, aimed at pulling, ignored commands and rowdiness at home. The Total Training Program is 12 sessions over four weeks for $1,700, built for reactivity, anxiety and major impulse control struggles.

What dogs learn

The curriculum covers place, loose-leash heel, sit and down with duration, reliable recall, an off command, kennel training, impulse control, mealtime and doorway etiquette. Programs include weekly homework, ongoing phone support, daily photo or video updates and an e-collar, slip lead or prong collar as appropriate for the dog. The board-and-train keeps the dog on site for immersive daily work, starting with a two-week Core program on leash manners, impulse control and basic obedience.
