Urban Pawsibilities Portland, Oregon

The very best. Wonderful trainers that show so much love and appreciation for your dog. Very skilled trainers too.

We recently got a new rescue puppy who is fearful and anxious in many situations due to her background. She has improved so much in such a short amount of time. I am really happy to be working with Emma who is very patient with our puppy, never pushing because of her anxiety. Emma’s training instructions and tips have really helped us to start building confidence. I am excited to see how our puppy’s confidence continues to improve over the next few months.

Our specific session was centered around chewing furniture - the private session was extremely valuable and I could hardly wait to get started on the ideas that Emma came up with to work on with the pup. I felt very heard and that everything I came home with are things that can actually be implemented. I’ve read a lot and seen a lot from other training blogs and other training resources and she was able to bring to the table things we haven’t tried before. That was so refreshing to see and honestly, kind of mind blowing because I thought we had consumed it all! Great personal attention, high acumen, very comfortable to work with.

Love Urban Pawsibilities! It has been great to have a spot that is working on training with my puppy during the day while I have to be at work. They send report cards and photos. I can tell how much he loves it because he immediately ditches me for the staff the second I walk through the door with him!

100% recommend Urban Possibilities' Triggered Dog class! It gave us the tools we were missing to better manage our dog's reactivity. We saw improvements right away and walks are significantly more enjoyable for everyone.

I love Urban Pawsibilities! Meaghan and Emma are so knowledgable, skillful, caring and supportive to all the pups. My pup Ren is a 2.5year old rescue pup with fear base reactivity. Her world got very small this last year as she became more and more nervous and reactive towards people and dogs. I had just about lost hope that I would ever enjoy outings with her again but was determined to not have just a backyard dog. I have done private lessons, a group class called Triggered Dog and just started day stays. The growth and change in both Ren and I has been amazing! The confidence and trust we both have gained in each other has brought a wonderful and much needed change to our relationship. I know training with Ren around her fears and anxieties will be a life long task for us but I know Urban Pawsibilities will be there for us to guide us and help build skills to continue to expand Ren's world for the better.

I took my german shepherd/ husky mix named Juneau for a 1:1 training with Emma and it was awesome! She was super knowledge about dogs and especially about shepherds, helped me understand him better, and worked on a couple specific skills …

I started taking my shy little one Lux to Urban Pawsibilities and she loves it. It has been difficult to socialize my little rescue pup during the last several months. It has been a great way for her to meet new folks and pups alike. I love the report card and feedback from the trainers when I go to pick her up for the day. I can tell that she is excited when we pull up and she enjoys going to play with her pals. I feel really grateful to have found such an amazing place that I feel at ease and know that she is well cared for and given individual attention as well as playtime with other pups. My little lady is really gaining more confidence with every stay! I highly recommend Urban Pawsibilities!

We enrolled our hyper, anxious 1.5yo pup in a 6-week group class here - Triggered Dog. The trainers at Urban Pawsibilities have been great at helping us find personalized solutions, even in the group setting. Our pup has made better progress staying calm and focused on us around other dogs than we imagined was possible! Their building is plenty spacious that my partner and I can both attend while keeping a safe distance from all other class participants.

We love working with Emma! I have seen so much growth in my dog Kraken and I am so thankful that we found Urban Pawsibilities! It is the place to go!!

I hesitated to write this review because I do not want them to be become so popular that my dog cannot get a day stay slot, but they are so great I had to! We take our 5 month old pup, Elaine, here and as you can see from the photos that were taken by Kaylee during her training, she LOVES it. We enjoy getting her report card with photos and details of her day. I can tell they keep a close eye on Elaine and really work on what we ask for. We will continue to take her here and are really happy with their care/training!

My partner and I can’t say enough good things about working with Urban Pawsibilities! Earlier this year we adopted our dog, Remi, who started displaying leash reactive behavior on walks. In private lessons, Emma taught us fantastic tools to not only manage this behavior but also build up our pup’s confidence which has resulted in more and more positive leash-walking experiences. Emma’s professional knowledge of canine behavior is evident in the way she curates each lesson for your dog. Even in a group class setting, you and your dog are given ample observation and instruction to achieve your training goals.

Love Urban Pawsibilities! I've been taking my (now 6 month old) puppy Wilder there for weekly Daystays since they opened their doors. There, he gets all the attention, playtime, professional training, and positive reinforcement he needs to …

Our dog, Ripley, learns so much with every visit. The trainers are incredible and make us all feel valued. The report cards after each visit bring us extra comfort and smiles.

I heard about this place (just as they were opening a location nearby) and had to check them out. Was I glad I did! My doggo loves going there and even in the short amount of time she’s gone there for training, she’s already learned so …

Urban Pawsabilities is "the" place to bring your furry friend. The whole crew are quintessential dog lovers and are wicked smart on all the ways to help your dog be the best she/he can be. I can not recommend Urban Pawsabilities enough. Emma and Meaghan are helping my dog, Harper become less reactive so she can meet and greet other dogs and people more calmly. The new facility is filled with so many fun things for your dog to explore. Go for it. It will be the best thing you do for yourself and dog.

Everyone who works here is super helpful and friendly. They have helped turn my puppy into a well behaved canine who I’m proud to introduce others too. Every time I’ve dropped our buddy off here he’s more excited to go inside and that says a lot for a 5 month old who was previously afraid to get in the car. The report cards are so informative, cute and educational it makes us both look forward to going back. I’m so happy they are in the area and running a brand new operation so well! Highly recommended if having behavior issues or just to socialize your animal with others.

My 1-year-old puppy, Ludo, and I have worked with Emma and Meaghan since he was 9 weeks old. I can’t speak highly enough of these amazing trainers. I’ll take any class they offer!

We LOVE Urban Pawsibilities. We've been doing day training on a weekly basis for the past 2 months and have seen such improvements in our goofy girl. She gets lots of supervised play time that we get to enjoy via instagram, training sessions with amazing trainers, and a write up on what they worked on with videos. They go above and beyond for training and have taken our pup on many outings to work on some of her quirks. Our pup comes home tired and happy. I have nothing but amazing things to say. Post day training nap for attention.

I had a great experience with Emma! I have a anxious and timid 9 month old labradoodle who loves to bark. Emma was extremely professional during the whole appt even with my dog barking like a mad woman while we were trying to talk. Emma …

best dog training in the PNW. these two are so kind, compassionate and passionate about their craft and it truly shows with how good their work is! do your dog the favor and take them here!

Urban Pawsibilities donates day training to dogs that I work with at a local dog rescue. I LOVE that they give back to the rescue dog community. They are professional, humane, knowledgeable, experienced, credentialed, responsible, and ethical. I have been beyond impressed with the work they have done with the rescue and our dogs! As a dog welfare advocate, I'm really glad that I can refer dog guardians to this humane facility. I love this place!

This place is the best! Clean and open. Lots of room for dogs. The trainers are great. My dog has a lot of needs, and Meaghan never ceases to adjust and find new ways to approach a circumstance to assist my puppy's growth. This is definitely a place where the animal comes first. They don't force things in order to better their bottom line. They look to make sure your pet is comfortable. This is a new business with good values, and they deserve your support.

Fantastic facility and great 1 on 1 training! Looking forward to utilizing their daystay program.

As a practicing veterinarian in SE Portland, I am thrilled to have Emma and Meaghan as a resource for my clients. Urban Pawsibilites offers a plethora of training options for dog owners - from puppy socialization to private training. Most …

Urban Pawsiblities is amazing! What an incredible space and equally incredibly trainers. We've been working with Megan privately for a while and she has been a great help with our reactive dog. It's great to see her business expand and for others to benefit from her talent with dogs and people.

Emma is a super thoughtful and excellent trainer. I would trust her with my dog any day.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Urban Pawsibilites!! We initially sought help for our 10yr old doodle whose struggles with separation anxiety got a lot worse during the pandemic. Emma took the time to help us understand what was …

Most sincere, genuine, and passionate folks I've ever met. Their approach on training and consideration for all processes involved exceed expectations. I wouldn't trust my pups with anyone else!

Our 19 week old puppy has been attending the teen puppy socials and he loves them! The space is so large and he is exposed to so many new items. He has already improved so much with play breaks and we are excited to sign up for more socials until he is 28 weeks.
