Our dog has been going here since he was around 16 weeks old. Well-managed dog groups, amazing staff and owner. Johann loves everyone at DogTown!

I first heard about Dogtown through quite a few of my clients taking their dogs here and having positive experiences. My dog is dog reactive and I had been trying to find a trainer with a Reactive dog class. Dogtown was the closest to me and I inquired about it. I had to take a private class with Stacy in order to be put on the waiting list, to ensure that he was alright to take the class. At that point they were 3 weeks into a class, and the next class was full, so I had to wait about 9 weeks. I do appreciate that the class sizes are smaller, and there’s only three other dogs in the class. This obviously helps to make sure everyone stays safe, but also make me feel better about not overloading Pistachio with a bunch of people and dogs at once.We went through the level one calm and collected and Dani is great! I already had been really working with my dog on his reactivity since November of last year. I adopted him last June and really didn’t know his history, and he’s also my first dog, so I’m starting from scratch with him. Since I had been working with him so much, and doing so much research on how to help him, taking the level one class didn’t necessarily give me any new information. However! the class helped him so much!! It was our first opportunity to be in a controlled environment with other dogs so we could work on that positive reinforcement! All the exercises/warm-ups that she had us do, though simple & small, were so helpful for him! For our last class Dani was able to bring in a neutral dog to work with everyone. I will say I was nervous about Pistachio‘s reaction, but I knew this was the best place to do this. The difference from week one to week six was insane! I had never seen him so relaxed, or focused on me ever! I was so proud of him, and so thankful that we were able to take the class, even though I did have my doubts at first. And the other dogs in the class made a lot of progress too, it was very cool to see how far everyone had come!We are now taking the level two class, and so far it’s been great! We’ve only had two classes, but I’ve learned tons more so far! This class is challenging both Pistachio and I a lot more, and having us work on areas that we haven’t really focused on before. I have no doubt that by week six he will have made a ton of progress! Maybe not as much as the level one since this is all new to him, but I think it’ll still be quite a bit!

We've been coming to DogTown for the past few years and the staff consistently amazes me. We've taken our dog Juneau to puppy training as well as agility training where they really train you (and the dog, somewhat)! Stacy, Brooke, and Amanda are all great leaders - fantastic communication and are very patient. We also take Juneau to DogTown weekly for daycare and occasionally board her. They usually post photos end of every day so you can find your dog if it was in daycare. All staff we've interacted with in person and online via email are friendly and quick to respond. Huge thanks to Alyssa too for always answering my questions and being flexible.Aside from 5-star customer service, we appreciate their approach to accepting dogs for daycare and boarding. Their positive training approach makes a perfect environment for pets. And if they don't think your dog will thrive in their daycare environment (like my older Yorkie after a couple of test rounds), they are honest with sharing what's best for the dog.Huge shoutout to DogTown for being a place we can trust.

My daughter recommended this place to me. To be fair it's been many years since she was there, but I have to say that what she reported and my experience are night and day. First, I can not express enough the frustration of trying to get the information and communication straight just from the applicatiion and my pet's records, and the application. Secondly, again, because my daughter recommended them, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went ahead and scheduled the meet and greet. The drive for me from Gladstone to Gresham is a bit, but worth it if I think my dog will be cared for and enjoy his time. Once I arrived, after circling for 15 minutes trying to locate the place (apparently the signs blew down....giggle giggle from the receptionist), no one had bothered to put them back up or stick something up so people can find it. I entered the facility, early because I wanted to be on time, and did not know where it was. The receptionist indicated I was early and said the person was in the back that was meeting with me, but did not offer to see if she could meet with me a few minutes early.....nothing, zero customer service. Add to that the place is dirty, at least what I saw of it. I'm not sure who is knowledgeable in the other reviews, but it is not the girl at the front desk. I left and have no intention of going back.

I’ve worked here and since moved on to the vet industry and miss all the dogs that I’ve met and cherished every single one. My dear Rye Rye(who passed away this year) was a regular here and would “anchor” herself in the lobby cause she loved it so much. Now that we have a new puppy we would love to bring her in due to the experience I had working here and watching Adam and Shelby do miracles with cases people wouldn’t even imagine of dealing with. Which says a lot about the leadership that takes place here. Every dog that gets brought in will always get a warm greeting and the ratio from dog to employee is. Another thing to rest assured is they get extensive training unlike some places in dog behavior and language. Hopefully soon you will get to meet Ravyn!

This place is the best in the area for positive training classes of all kinds, doggy daycare, and food/supplies. My dogs always came home happily tired from playing all day at daycare. Highly recommend!

Awfully rude staff, over packed and filthy facilities. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE. The poor maintenence and horrific fecal smell, from no sanitization or cleaning, on the part of the staff and ownership will be your first indication. This place should be shutdown and condemned, due to poor animal treatment.

My very first drop-in Rally class with Stacy exceeded my expectations. Since I can't get into a beginner class until the end of May, I will come to the weekly Rally class. Stacy was extremely supportive and patient with me and my young French Bulldog. I only wish I had found this place which offers professional dog training group classes sooner.

This place is just awesome! I feel so lucky to have them in our area. The staff is super friendly, and very knowledgeable. I could not feel more safe leaving my dog in their care. The grooming services are exceptional and my dog LOVES coming here. He gets so excited every time we pull into their parking lot.

Great place to take your dog for a bath and nail trim. The people are really nice and the person who helped me set up the following appointment was very friendly and cute. Keep up the good work! Will come back soon :)
