Dog Training Methodology
Methods:
- ✓ Balanced Training
Cascade Canine offers two main training programs: Private Lessons and Board and Train. Private Lessons are one-on-one sessions designed for owners who want to be actively involved in the training process, available in 5 and 10 session packages after an initial consultation.
The Board and Train program is a three-week intensive training camp where dogs stay with the trainers. This program covers basic obedience (sit, down, place, heel, come) and manners (not jumping, rushing the door, barking), with skills reinforced and tested in public settings. It includes 2 follow-up lessons to ensure a smooth transition to home life, and offers both on and off-leash training. Training is customizable to meet specific client goals.

Testimonials
“Conor is the absolute best. We have an 8-month-old Malinois // Dutchie mix (IYKYK) who hadn’t spent a single night away from me since we adopted her. Mars had a great time — she met a goat named Craig, got to play with other dogs with a similar genetic makeup which was a first for her, and became friends with his 19-month-old son, which was her first-ever experience with a child. I got photos and videos throughout her stay, and Conor put up with my incessant inquiries. He also gave me training accessory recommendations and connected me with a great trainer in my area (if I lived in Oregon, I’d hire him for training yesterday). I literally couldn’t have asked for a better first-time boarding experience and will ask him to take care of Mars every time we’re in the area. His wife is experienced with dogs and super sweet also. Such a special find.”

“Conor is thorough, professional, and fantastic to work with! He has an attention to detail and above-and-beyond attitude that sets him apart from other trainers and borders. He approaches all training with a solid knowledge of dog behavior and passion that shows in his work, both with dogs and owners. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. You, and your dog, are in good hands!”

“I boarded my ~energetic~ lab/Shepard mix for a weekend and Conor took great care of him! There is a huge field for the dogs to play and my dog seemed very happy and comfortable when I came to pick him up. We will use them again!”

About the Trainer
Cascade Canine is a small, locally owned, family-run business offering personalized dog training and boarding services. They prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring limited spaces so each dog receives ample time to learn and master skills through one-on-one attention. The business aims to foster strong bonds between dogs and their families by improving communication, which reduces stress and increases joy in the household.
Conor and Alex, the core team, work with each dog from start to finish, ensuring seamless communication and consistent training methods. Their approach focuses on making dogs the best friends and family members they can be, ultimately striving to create better households for both humans and dogs.
Accomplishments
Conor Kehoe, the primary trainer, began dog training in 2015 and launched Cascade Canine in November 2019. He transitioned to full-time dog training in 2021. Alex, his partner, is the behind-the-scenes hero, assisting with dogs and daily operations.
