Prestigious Pooch

Prestigious Pooch Prestigious Pooch Dog Training: CPDT-KA. Specializing in Obedience Training, Behavior Modification a CPDT-KA and member of Pet Professional Guild.

Our training philosophy is that we do what works best for your dog! When working with an owner/dog combo, we like to evaluate them in their home environment and provide the owner with specific, custom tailored suggestions and exercises that will best work for them and their dog. We see each dog as an individual and don't use the same approach to every situation, but always using a gentle hand and with science based/positive reinforcement methods. It’s important to learn what your dog is motivated by before expecting them to work for you. We believe that in order to effectively communicate with dogs, we need to speak to them in a language that they understand, rather then expecting them to understand OUR language through intimidation and physical force. We constantly strive to stay on top of the ever evolving science of dog training and behavior by attending seminars hosted by the best trainers/behaviorists in the business. We have over 17 years of professional dog training experience, but a lifetime of animal experience. Cora-“Growing up in rural Washington State, my family was active in wildlife rehabilitation and took in many raccoons, squirrels, and deer. Having a mother that was a Veterinary Technician, we always took in stray and unwanted dogs. We would get them back to a healthy state and train them, then find them new forever homes. Working with dogs is a true passion of mine and I couldn't think of anything else that I would rather be doing with my life. I acquired my professional experience and education from The Academy of Canine Behavior in Bothell, Washington. I am a registered Tester/Observer of Therapy Dogs Inc. and previously volunteered with my wonderful dog, Alice (RIP), by visiting hospice patients and hospitals. We LOVED sharing a smile and a wagging tail on visits with others that were having a difficult time.”

Our goal isn’t to create an overly dependent, workaholic dog thats reliant on us making EVERY decision for them during outings or social interactions…

When it comes to working with reactivity, be that excitable or fearful, our main goal is to build confidence and promote neutrality.

In these scenarios its often easy to focus so much on classic conditioning that we forget about just how important and ground breaking operant conditioning can be!

In this case, we have practiced both classic and operant conditioning when it comes to Finn’s reactivity…

For example, when he was young and first started practicing his reactive behavior, we worked on redirecting with a simple “look” verbal-cue whenever he began to overly fixate on a trigger, followed by a high value reward. Now’a days, we’re able to reward Finn for making good decisions on his own accord, thus making him more likely to succeed in making good decisions in the future!

Believe it or not, Finn is mostly German Shepherd and Doberman! But one this is for certain and that is that he is 100% a good boy!!

(Ok let me try this again now that I finally figured out how to edit videos on here 🤦‍♀️) We cleaned off the dog hair and slobber for a fun night and a great cause! Huge thank you to our favorite rockstar client for including us again this year ♥️ Be sure to check out and the incredible work they do!

The quieter that we are on social media, the busier we are in real life!

Whenever someone hires us to come to their home and help them with whatever issue or miscommunication that they are up against with their dog, no matter how big or small (both dog or behavior) we consider it essential to give them 100% of our attention and devotion to the matter at hand.

Doing this multiple times a day, 5-6 days a week, often means that we may lack on the “content” side of things from time to time…

Being a small business, we might beat ourselves up about that from time to time…That is until we realize that all of the incredibly complex and brilliant dogs / people that we are lucky enough to consistently work alongside, need us to be present!

That being said… we’re not getting lazy when it comes to the digital front! We’re currently working on getting our BRAND NEW website up and running within the next week or so! We will also be carving out some time to work on recording more informational training videos to post on here, as we know it’s hard to find safe, honest advice out there…

Despite everything we just said, sometimes, at the end of the session, we’ll ask if we can take a photo or two to share with you all. Such as this one we took last week of Soup & Freddie! I mean, C’MONNNN!!?!?

Not a lot of folks in this industry are lucky enough to get to spend quality time around the dogs they work with throughout their life! So we consider ourselves lucky to be able to still work alongside and maintain solid relationships with many great dogs / families!

Bailey has been a Prestigious Pooch regular since 2017 and has been a brilliant student and dear friend to not just us, but our own dogs and the many other regulars that spend time with us here at PPHQ.

His sister, Roxie, joined his household as much beloved companion in 2019 after her previous owners, who were clients of ours at the time, were looking to re-home her to a more suitable environment...

We see consider your dog’s family and we pride ourselves on not only ensuring that they’re well educated, but safe, comfortable and most importantly, happy.

Thank you for putting your trust in us 🧡🖤

Our Story

My training philosophy is, I do what works best for your dog! The methods that I use will vary depending on the dog I am working with, but will always be using positive reinforcement to achieve the desired results. When working with an owner/dog combo, I like to evaluate them in their home environment and provide the owner with specific, custom tailored suggestions and useful, positive methods that will best work for them and their dog. Owner education and participation is key to a successful training routine. I see each dog as an individual and don’t use the same approach to every situation. Every dog has different likes and dislikes, just like we do, so it’s important to understand what motivates YOUR dog and to be realistic with the owner’s expectations. I believe that in order to effectively communicate with dogs, we need to speak to them in a language that they understand, rather then expecting them to understand OUR language through intimidation and physical force. Humans were the ones to domesticate dogs, so we owe it to our best friends to teach them how to live in our world through patience and understanding. It is my goal to help dogs and humans live in harmony and enjoy a healthy, balanced life together. Working with dogs is a true passion of mine and I couldn’t think of anything else that I would rather be doing with my life.
