Recently, I was visiting and my girl got to join her doggie cousin for a play day and overnight. Everything from a dog's perspective is perfect, from the space to play, to ponds, to well facilitated shenanigans at whatever engagement level they are comfortable with. But the true test comes when you pick your dog up. She was tired, but calm. She was 100% comfortable with Trudy, and she was in no hurry to leave. Thank you Doggieville from me and Franny, and the only "con" is that since I live in Hillsboro, it will be rare that we get to visit again. I hope it is OK to include a photo Trudy took while Franny was there. It makes my heart full.

Since we are both retired with some health issues, he was a bit overwhelming for us. Linda had him for 10 days, both boarding and training him. What a difference! His manners are much improved, waiting at doors to go in or out for our OK, settling down when we indicate he is to calm down, and quietly waiting for his food. It was obvious Duke liked and respected Linda, wanting to please her. She spent time with us going over the areas Duke had made progress and what we need to be doing to continue with that progress. Instead of giving us numerous suggestions for Duke, she only gave us three to work on at this point. They are doable and we are concentrating on them. We like that and Duke is responding well. Our plan is to continue using Linda as our trainer. We are very impressed with her and her facilities. We highly recommend her. Kathy

We needed a physical fence alternative for our 2 aging Labradoodles (one of which is deaf) when we…read morerecently moved to Eagle Crest, a recreational community that prohibits fences and off-leash dogs. Our dogs were constantly running across the common areas outside our yard to 'go visit' neighbors and their dogs, while we were constantly running after them to corral them back to the yard. I was skeptical Invisible Fence would work as I had never used a fenceless system before. The price of the system seemed a little steep at first, but in the end we realized it was all sooo worth it for our half-acre lot and 2 dogs, not to mention far less expensive than building a fence would have been had the community allowed it. The training the dogs and I received was top notch, starting with baby steps inside the home and very gradually moving outside with mild stimulation. BTW, homework was fun! Our deaf Lucy took a little longer to recognize the boundaries of our yard, but by the last training session she was well accustomed to it. The trainer, Kim, was EXCELLENT and the dogs loved her! They've had several 'tests' thus far with neighbors and their dogs presenting themselves outside in yards across our common area and while Lucy and Oscar will bark, they'll do it within the yard and won't even attempt to get close to the boundary. BIG WIN!! A game of fetch with Oscar and his ball was even tested when the ball ricocheted off a rock and rolled outside the boundary - FYI, Oscar LOVES his ball! My husband and I both held our breath while Oscar only took a few steps before stopping well within the yard, looking at the ball, waiting for one of us to retrieve it. I'm sure our jaws dropped! We both feel SO PROUD of our dogs now when we're outside in the yard. We're now ready for summer fun in the yard when the seasons change and the community is once again buzzing with people, dogs and outdoor activity! The Invisible Fence system is such a great peace of mind for us, and its made believers out of both of us. Thank you, Invisible Fence!

I know no other place anywhere that literally does training for your dog while they play. Commands like "wait," "back" "break" and many others. She watches the dogs behavior when they play so they do not get too rough with each other. She is an expert in interpreting dogs behavior. She also trains the dogs in groups as seen below. But all of this is done with positive training and kindness for she truly loves the dogs. For warmer days, she has kid pools for the dogs, and for really cold days there is an inside play area. She plays games with the dogs too. When my dog arrives, he flies through the air with ears flying backwards for he is so excited to arrive at Woof to Wow
