Doggieville Ranch

Doggieville Ranch offers unique and customizable training programs using positive reinforcement techniques, focusing on building deep bonds between clients and their pets.

Their training options include Private Sessions, priced at $150 per hour, conducted at their ranch. These sessions provide personalized tools and tips, allowing for tailored training specific to the dog and owner’s needs without the distractions of a group setting.

The Puppy 101 program is a week-long board and train program for $1200, where puppies stay at the ranch. They learn basic obedience skills such as heel, sit, stay, lay down, and recall, along with dog psychology and socialization tips. This program includes a “go home” private lesson upon pickup.

For more intensive needs, they offer a 2-week intensive training program for $2200, designed to address specific behavioral issues. During this program, dogs live and train 24/7 in the trainer’s home, practicing obedience and behavior in real-world environments and various social situations. This program also includes a “go home” private lesson.

Doggieville Ranch is a dog training business founded by Trudy Gardner, a Certified Dog Trainer, and Larry Johnson, an animal lover, who relocated to Redmond, Oregon in 2016 to open a daycare, boarding, and training facility. Trudy expanded her dog sitting business, Half Moon Bay Dogs, to include training after graduating with honors from Animal Behavioral College in 2003.

They focus on positive motivational training methods and behavioral problem solving, aiming to build strong canine/human relationships through positive interaction and consistency. Larry Johnson designed the ranch’s facilities to be fun and engaging for dogs.

Doggieville Ranch offers a unique “home away from home” experience, emphasizing that it is not a traditional kennel. Their Doggievilla facility is cage-free and limits capacity to 15 dogs to ensure personalized attention.

They provide professional dog training while dogs vacation at the ranch, treating them like family members. The daycare program focuses on supervised playtime, socialization, and exercise, helping dogs develop appropriate social skills and burn energy.

They are passionate about building deep bonds between clients and their pets, offering customizable training programs tailored to individual needs. They believe a well-trained dog becomes a good citizen and delights in pleasing people.
