Our Services and Philosphy

Dogs are already fully trained when it comes to acting like, well, a dog! Barking, digging, chewing, even growling and biting are all things that are natural to your dog but not always appreciated by socialized humans. We will show you all the little clues your dog gives to let you know what they are thinking. Simple eye expressions, such as blinking or staring, can be powerful tools when used correctly. Our dogs are such naturals at being in tune with our body language and verbal tones; they have been perfecting their skills for generations. Now it's your turn to take control and be one step ahead - as the pack leader should!

At Von Dubinhaus Dog Training located in Portland, Oregon, our training philosophy is balanced approach, utilizing both positive and corrective dog training techniques depending on each individual dog and the behavior being displayed. We use an array of tools ranging from a squirt bottle, treats (lots of them!), squeaky ball, easy walk harness, soft collar, as well as various corrective collars, as needed.

Therapeutic techniques are also part of our toolbox, and we utilize products such as therapeutic grade essential oils, CBD oil, hemp treats, soliquinn, and in some cases pharmaceuticals to assist with behavioral modification.

We specialize in the most difficult behavior problems, including intense human and dog aggression, and take great pride in saving dogs from the animal shelter system or euthanasia and keeping them right where they belong, with their families!

We have helped thousands of dogs to date in the Portland area, and would love to assist you and your family to help your dog achieve it’s fullest potential and lead a long, happy, life.
