    This is my new go to place to get my dogs nails trimmed! I have a very hyper chihuahua who loves people, and it makes it very difficult to get his nails cut. At dog town they worked as a team to get him to relax and they used a Dremmel which made me feel so much safer about his black nails getting done. I've already scheduled his next Appt to keep his nails well groomed. Hope to one day bring him in for doggy daycare.

    After daycare!

    Our dog Bruiser has been coming in for awhile now. He absolutely loves it!!!! He always comes home & is ready to sleep. The ladies really care about what they do and are extremely knowledgable about dogs & their behaviors. They are very honest with how the day went & how your dogs behavior is. They only encourage safe play & don't allow aggressive or potentially dangerous dogs. Just yesterday they gave me a $5 voucher towards bruisers daycare for making a yelp review (my previous one). They really appreciate their customers. If you're looking for a fun safe haven for your dog & ladies you can trust come on in!

    Stuey at Puppydog Kindergarten, Dogtown

    A neighbor recommended DogTown on 1st Street in Gresham to me and it's the best thing I could have done for my dog, as well as myself. He was first enrolled in Puppy Kindergarten and now attends P.L.A.Y. and Obedience Training with Stacey and her incredibly talented team. My Stuey is a strong-willed Pomeranian who needed the positive guidance from DogTown. He remains high spirited and happy, but is now able to calm himself and do as requested (most of the time--he's only seven months old). The staff at DogTown is loving, skilled, knowledgeable, and supportive. They offer easy answers that are effective and make sense. I boarded him there while I was out of town for a week and Amanda worked with him on a daily basis. She taught him to walk calmly on his leash, listen to commands, and follow through, and somehow he became completely potty trained by Amanda!!! My favorite scenario was walking in to pick up my dog and there sat a young woman in a chair reading (during quiet time) to the dogs, who all sat quietly listening (except Stuey and Ozzie who were playfully wrestling at her feet--definitely the class clowns!). I'm so grateful for the support of Dogtown staff; they are the most amazing, talented, lovely people. Dogs are interviewed for five hours before they can be accepted, requiring all dogs prove to be healthy and safe--it's vital to their excellent program. Five stars???? Make it ten!!!! Susan V.

    I only have this and one other groomers to compare it to BUT..Best groomer I've been to The staff was so nice, they took in my hyper and overly excited 6 moth Pitbull with open arms. I took him in for the full service bath and the nail trims and received a very clean and very happy pittie. They even gave him a cute bandana! I really like what this place has to offer. Needless to say, I will be back.

    We take our dog here twice a week for daycare. It is a great place. The dogs are well-cared for, and the staff seem to enjoy their work.

    I have three little dogs and when I moved to Portland, my littles needed some extra training…read more Having had some issues from before I got them, then moving from the country to a city was a lot of change. I checked out some other trainers and none of them had the experience, patience or knowledge that Rick has. He has been great at training me to better train and understand my dogs. He has been patient with my energetic little dog, tips and ideas based on his behavior and communication style teaching me how he will help teach my other littles. Rick is always available for questions and if something isn't working, he helps me understand why and how to overcome it so we can keep moving forward with the training. While I have a great connection and love my pups, this is helping me to give them a better life so we can have better adventures. More sessions with Rick coming up and they cannot wait for their "friend" to come over.

    I'm only a few sessions into training with Rick at BonesPDX, but the progress has been notable - I…read morecouldn't wait to share! His approach to dog training is backed by his deep expertise in animal behavior, including his experience as a former lead trainer at the Oregon Zoo. This unique combination makes him an exceptional choice for anyone looking to improve their dog's responsiveness, learn obedience, or master advanced skills. My high-energy Goldendoodle is already showing notable improvements. Best of all, I'm able to communicate with my dog more effectively. One of the biggest surprises? My dog who used to inhale his food at mealtime, actually asked to do training exercises and eat his dinner as the reward! That shift shows how engaged and eager he has become through Rick's positive approach and the changes I've made by learning what to do. Rick is not only a highly skilled professional dog trainer but also incredibly patient - with both my dog and me. He picks up on the tiniest cues helping me better understand my dog and is always eager to answer questions. His follow-up is outstanding, ensuring we stay on track. I highly recommend Rick. His knowledge, patience, and ability to connect with both dogs and their owners make him a stand-out in the field!

    My husband & I got our first Havaton from Pride & Joy Pups 14 years ago. Lexie has been slowing…read moredown & we wanted to get another puppy to add to our little family. We're retired & love to shower Lexie with love. We knew we wanted another Havaton. Nine months ago we flew to Portland (we live in Anchorage, Alaska) & brought MacKenzie Bray home! (we call her Kenzie) She has been "accepted" by Lexie (it just took her a few days to get used to this high energy ball of fluff.) I appreciated that Bryan or Kirsten responded to my texts while we waited for Kenzie to be born. We delighted in receiving pictures of her! I'm comfortable in knowing Bryan & Kirsten are there whenever we have a concern for "our girls." I send a text or give one of them a call & receive a prompt response. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a puppy. Lexie & Kenzie are sure a "Joy" to us. Glennis & Jack

    To anyone looking to buy a puppy or older dog from Pride & Joy Pups, please read about our…read moreexperience, so you know the kind of breeder you are dealing with and the potential problems you may experience with your new dog. We lost our cherished Havanese, Oscar, in December 2021 and weren't expecting the hole he would leave in our hearts and lives. In February 2022, we began putting out feelers about adopting a young dog (not a puppy) that would already be potty-trained and maybe have learned basic leash skills. We are both seniors and didn't want a puppy, as they require so much energy to train. When we contacted Bryan, he said he had two 1-year-old Havanese females that were too small for his breeding program that he needed to rehome. He said he wanted to place them together since they were very attached to one another. We were told they used a doggy door and potty pads inside the house, without issue. Bryan said that they were "timid." Bryan also said that the dogs were "free feeders," meaning that food was always available, and they helped themselves when they were hungry. When we visited the dogs, we quickly fell in love with them and decided to purchase them on the spot. After we got them home, we noticed that they were both so thin that their bones could easily be felt beneath their skin. Whenever we offered food, they ate it as quickly as possible. It quickly became apparent that neither dog was fully potty-trained in any way. We used potty pads inside the house (we don't have a doggy door), and although they would use the pads occasionally, there continued to be daily accidents on blankets, the tile floor, carpet, etc. For this reason, we have had to restrict them to our kitchen and dining room areas to avoid accidents on our carpet and furniture. Both dogs were extremely skittish with us for weeks and would cringe when we bent down to pick them up--as if they had been hit or were kept in a very isolated place at the breeder's home. It was apparent that they were not properly socialized. We could not get a straight answer from Bryan about whether the dogs were really a year old (they exhibited behavior more like those of puppies), and whether he had ever taken the dogs to be evaluated by a vet. Our vet saw both dogs two weeks after we got them and told us that they were both underweight (so much for being "free feeders"), and that they both had orthopedic problems (luxating patellae and carpal valgus). They may require surgical intervention as they age. Our vet also said that the dogs looked like Havanese mixes, but not purebred Havanese. We didn't receive any paperwork from Bryan that would confirm the purebred status of our dogs. When we let Bryan know what our vet told us, he was quite defensive and insinuated that our vet was looking for problems to get as much money out of us as possible. This is an excerpt from the email reply we received from him: I'm not sure what to say to you. The vets can always find lists of potential problems that would require lifelong vet visits and surgeries, racking up astronomical vet bills. Sounds like a good business model. Bryan never answered our question about whether the dogs had ever seen a vet. He was also unable to provide proof of their age or lineage. Any reputable breeder would gladly offer information on all those things. We have now had our girls four months and love them dearly, but they are much more work than we thought we were getting into--specifically, the potty-training issues that they both have. Our guess is that Bryan knew the dogs had orthopedic issues and didn't want them for his breeding program for that reason. Not being familiar with dogs, we didn't notice it when we met them. Keeping quiet about their potential orthopedic issues is not something an ethical breeder would do. Please don't make the mistake we made by buying from this kind of backyard breeder who washes his hands of his dogs and his clients after he's made a sale. It's been a tremendously stressful and disappointing experience.
