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.”

A brand new year means brand new dogs here at PPHQ!

Meet Winston! He’s been here for just over 24 hours and already he’s completely settled and willing to get to work.

Although the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is internationally renowned for being quite possibly the most docile, socially flexible dog breed on the face of the earth, it doesn’t mean that you won’t get hit with a few little adorable, yet irksome hiccups along the way…

Excessive foraging, counter surfing, leash pulling and separation anxiety are just a few things that you may experience when it comes to Cavalier ownership.

To design a dog that is THIS receptive to social interaction means that you have to sacrifice a few things. The first of which is self preservation. This is far from a bad thing when it comes down to the making a wonderful, safe pet dog!
It does, however, mean that a dog which isn’t distracted by guarding or herding, may resort to excessive foraging…Be that for food or social interaction.

Stay tuned to keep updated on Winstons progress 🐶

When strangers touch our dogs without consent, it can be unsettling for them—much like an unexpected touch feels to us. Dogs deserve respect and agency over their bodies. Politely guiding others to wait for the dog’s signals, like approaching willingly or leaning in, helps ensure interactions are safe and comfortable.

What else can we offer your dog during their stay with with two certified trainers, aside from regular training and a fun time? Enrichment in a natural environment located in a national forest! And a cozy warm environment to relax in after a stimulating day of taking in all of the amazing sights and smells.

We’re a little late to the party, as I’m sure many of those who work in this industry can relate, but we’re extremely thankful for our holiday regulars!

We never get to spend the holidays with either of our human families all together as they’re all out of state / country. That said, it gives us a great sense of comfort to be able to share these times with our familiar four legged friends that we consider family 🧡🍁🐕🐩🐶🧡

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.
