About Pup School

Online courses and board and train in Beaverton

Pup School is a Beaverton training business that pairs online courses with a local board-and-train program and private sessions in the Washington County area. Its focus is calm, confident, focused dogs, and its message is that a struggling dog is having trouble coping.

The trainers

McKenna is a dog and parrot trainer who has taught hundreds of group classes and one-on-one lessons, and her philosophy rests on positive reinforcement, understanding how animals think, shaping good habits and reducing stress. Monica trained her own formerly reactive dog to be her service dog, attended an accredited trainer school and trained under multiple certified professionals; board and train is her specialty.

Programs

Online courses offer guided video lessons for puppies, service dogs in training and everyday obedience, plus a free seven-day Calm & Focus Reset for reactive dogs. Board-and-train programs cover basic obedience, off-leash training, service dog and therapy dog training and behavior modification for fearful or reactive dogs. Private sessions focus on obedience, behavior and public access skills.
