The First Retreat:


Date: April 4-6, 2025, at Scholl’s Valley Lodge, near Portland, OR


A small group will learn dog language, get help training their dogs, and get to know other dog people in the area!

Join a small, intimate group of dog people and their besties in cozy cabins or a comfortable lodge among gorgeous trees and fresh air! Learn the art of speaking dog and practice training that’s been designed specifically for you and your pup.

A max of 13 families will get to join us, so everyone will have plenty of one-on-one time with the trainer, as well as time to get to know each other, relax with your furry companion, and hike until your soul is filled!

The retreat starts at 3pm on Friday and goes until 4pm on Sunday.

Problems We Can Solve and What We’ll Teach

Retreats

We’ll teach you to speak dog, of course. But we want to make sure you go home with a better behaved canine, too.

Although we can handle any problem behaviors — up to and including extreme human aggression — privately, there are some limits as to what we can safely have in a group setting.

  • Leash reactivity due to over-excitement.
  • Pulling on leash/loose leash walking
  • Jumping on people, guests, etc/keeping four feet on the floor
  • Annoyance barking/warning barking
  • Food or resource guarding
  • Basic commands: sit, down, stay, come
  • Socialization

Will your dog be perfect when you go home? No, but they’ll be much better, and you’ll have the tools to keep working on it!

Things We Can’t Address

Due to the group nature of a retreat, this is not the place to address aggression. Unsure if your dog is aggressive or over-excited? Call Jenna at 951-704-5766 or send a video to [email protected] and she’ll help you figure it out!
