One week before my trip I called to reconfirm my reservation and to ensure the requested room with the patio was still on the reservation. I was told it was. When I arrived to drop off my dogs I was told the room I had reserved two months in advance and reconfirmed the week before, was no longer available as someone had needed it for a "medical emergency". As my plane was leaving the next day, I had no choice but accept a room with no outdoor access. I was assured the dogs would get extra outside time in the play area as a conciliation gesture, and that they would text me periodically to let me know everything was okay. That was on Thursday. By Saturday I had not heard from them and called 9:00 in the morning. I was told they were just now getting their breakfast. I told the woman it is 9:00, what do you mean they are just now getting their breakfast. When I made the reservation, I was told the techs arrive at 5:30 am and the dogs are fed by 6:00 am. Oh she said. that is only Monday thru Friday. On weekends they do not arrive until 8:30. I also asked why I had not received any text from them as promised. She informed she was sending me an email. She did send me the email and that was the only communication I received. When I returned to pick up the dogs on Monday, my wife pointed out most of the food we had prepared in specific proportions, was still in the container. Their reply was the dogs did not eat much. These two chow hounds devour their breakfast and dinner in less than two minutes. One of my dogs is on medication required to be given to her with each feeding. Three of the pills were still in the bottle meaning they did not give her all the required medication. Obviously, I do not recommend this place.

I took my new puppy to Huffman K-9 for their basic obedience training class. Unlike the other…read moretrainers I used in the past, this was the first time that the trainer had me do the training. I was the one on the end of the leash working the dog. My Remington was only 14 weeks old and learning how to walk across beams and other skills. But the best part of the training was that I learned a lot about myself. I was able to take that training to the next level and train my Remington to be my service. The theory is you get about 10 hours with the trainer. A dog needs about 100 hours to master all the commands you are teaching them. Do it falls onto the dog owner to maintain the training. So why not train the owner to be the trainer? It costs about $1,500 for the 10 week training but the results don't lie.

Freaking A. What incredible luck I had…read more.. So 3 years ago I met Jensen at his Malinois Jax at the sellwood food truck (before the pandemic). After chatting with him I come to find he's a dog trainer. Seeing HOW incredibly well behaved Jax was I knew that no matter what dog I would adopt next I would bring them to Jensen. Fast forward a year, I had to put down my dog and remembered how incredible Jax was. I went on the website to find Jax and Butter's is having a litter. Im so excited I call them to get on the waitlist. I speak with Jensen's wife Alina (wonderfully lovely woman) who speaks to me at length and ultimately talks me out of buying one of their puppies because we were planning another baby. I loved how honest she was and decided to put Belgian malinois as a breed for my family aside for at least 10 years. Present day, I rescued a Malinois from Texas... they said she was the most unique and calm and good family malinois there ever was. I adopted her in a heartbeat. At first I was worried because she was behaving like a typical malinois... so I quickly called huffmans and got an appointment. Unfortunately the appointment was for 1.5 months.. I asked to be put on the cancellation list and boom got a cancellation. First off get in fast, make an appointment like yesterday, they are booked out SO far. They also have several trainers who are ALSO booked out, and for good reason. They are good and they are worth it. I first met Brooke at the facility who told me who to speak with, she has Incredible energy, super friendly, I hope I get to work with her! Then I meet David who basically saved me from being dragged across their property trying to walk my very excited mal. He took my dogs leash and helped me walk her calmly back towards where I was to meet Jensen. Then I meet Jensen. Wow. I mean seriously. Wow. I've had my dog for a week and she wouldn't listen to me whatsoever. He said took her leash and within 3 minutes she was everything I wanted her to be. I learned so much in my 2 hour assessment that I was speechless when he taught me how to handle my dog. I wish there was more time for me to gush about my experience at Huffman k9 but having already met half the staff and seriously really appreciating them within such a short time speaks volumes for me. This is the place. Anyone with any type of dog needs to come here. Speechless at how quickly my dog behaved!

My 3 year old Pyrenees pandemic puppy was an anxious mess. He broke windows and bolted into the…read morestreet a couple of times after escaping the yard. I was afraid to leave him alone and I was at my whits end. Then Tamara saved the day. I sent my "little" anxious boy to her and he came back a big brave boy. We did a 4 week board and train with her and it was worth every penny. He is like a completely different dog now. He can relax now both inside the house as well as out on adventures now. Now every time he wants to panic, he looks to me first, and he see's that I am fine and settles right down. Honestly I have been recommending Tamara to everyone I can. She was beyond patient with both my little anxiety pup, as well as with me (texting her almost daily to check in). The fact that she made a custom training plan just around his special anxiety needs was amazing. Since he came home he has been a dream. We even did a weekend out at the beach and he came every time I called (this dog had zero recall before Tamara). Tamara still checks in to see how my pup is doing and it's that extra thoughtful layer of caring that I can honestly say I will be sending him back to her for boards as well as her amazing Trecking paws hiking club. If you are anxious yourself about getting a lending paw to help your pupper call Tamara. She is the right call to make. She takes the worry out of giving your fur baby to someone with her thoughtfulness, calm demeanor, and skill to see exactly what your dog needs.

I came to Tamara at the recommendation of a family member who heard about Doglingual and knew that…read moreI was desperately looking for a quality trainer who could help with my dog Bramble's ongoing behavioral issues. I had met with other trainers and actually been turned away because they said they could not work with us. Bramble and I had been in conflict for about 18 months by the time we met Tamara. He was incredibly leash reactive, guarded both myself and his resources (food/his kennel), and wouldn't allow people to enter our home. He reacted with snapping and biting if asked to do anything that wasn't in his agenda (which was many things due to his anxiety). I had practiced overly gentle positive reinforcement with him and avoided situations that triggered him; instead of helping, this made his behavior far worse. Tamara clocked Bramble's issues after less than 30 minutes when they met (although she took plenty of time with us to exchange questions and get a full picture of our situation). She was confident and comfortable handling him and didn't let him bully her like he was bullying me and my partner. I could tell that Bramble responded to her handling right away as well. Bramble did 4 weeks of B&T that completely changed our lives. Tamara helped him face progressively more challenging situations to build confidence, trained fantastic recall using e-collar tone and stim, worked with his comfort being handled and groomed, and returned a dog that was ready to work together with me going forward. I am so grateful to Tamara and Doglingual for giving Bramble and me a second chance at a happy life together. I've been able to continue training him with Tamara's guidance, and I know that we will continue to grow because she gave him the foundation he needed to really enjoy being a dog.

I contacted Cheryl and I really didn't know if I would be able to keep them. Really, I can't recommend her more highly. She is now a friend for life. The girls have made great progress and I'm sure I'll be able to keep them. As I type this, they are quietly asleep at my feet while I work, something that would have been impossible three months ago. If you love your dog, but you're not sure if you like them and they seem so unmanageable that you wonder if you should even keep them, do call Cheryl for the miracle you don't think is possible. The girls adore her. She introduces new skills in a way that I understand how they think about what's going on.

We are so grateful to have found Kelsey! We have been working with Kelsey since our rescue puppy,…read moreMaverick, was 9 weeks old. He is now 5 months old! From her offerings, we chose private virtual sessions, the bimonthly puppy afterschool sessions and signed up for her membership which gives us great training videos and access to the monthly meet ups as well as the monthly q&a. I highly suggest the private virtual sessions, they were a game changer for us. Kelsey is an AMAZING positive reinforcement trainer. I would give her more than 5 stars, and think everyone could benefit from working with her - especially anyone with a puppy! She has a wealth of knowledge in dog behavior and focuses first and foremost in this area. Her training videos and 1:1 direction literally, and I mean literally, helped me so much during some really challenging moments with Maverick. She also took the time to give us tips and ideas between sessions. I was sure we had the bitiest puppy that ever lived..he was literally a little shark running mouth first! Let's just say that Kelsey went above and beyond to help us here. Setting Maverick up with the right foundation through Kelsey's guidance has made all the difference and he's thriving today. He does great with other dogs, kids, adults. Next step, trying to get our cat to love him as much as we do! Thank you Kelsey, you ROCK!

She did an amazing job with socialization and basic training. I am immensely thankful for the solid foundation because my puppy is very important - she is a service dog in training.

In the past two months since bringing my puppy home we have been working with Kelsey each week in group classes as well as private and one-on-one sessions. I will continue working with Kelsey throughout our training. She is above all an observant and knowledgeable trainer, and very pleasant to work with.
