Double-C Dog Training is a long-standing pet care center in Klamath Falls, Oregon, founded in 1975 by JoAnne Carson and Lois Coryell, who have trained over 25,000 dogs using positive, step-by-step techniques. The business offers group classes, private lessons, and board-and-train programs focused on basic obedience, with classes designed to help dogs walk at heel, stay, and come when called within three weeks. The facility includes a fully matted indoor training arena, outdoor agility yards, and 120 climate-controlled indoor/outdoor canine guest rooms. In addition to training, Double-C provides dog grooming, pet boarding, day care, and a retail store for pet supplies. Their team of 25 pet professionals supports integrated care, and they have been recognized locally as a “World Class Pet Resort and Dog Training Center.”

The training program emphasizes positive reinforcement, with group classes lasting one hour per week for three weeks at $80, and private 45-minute sessions at $49. They serve dogs of all ages and breeds, from puppies to seniors, and require current vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies) for all services. The facility has been operating since 1992 and expanded over time to include extensive pet amenities.

While the business has a strong history and wide range of services, recent customer reviews highlight concerns regarding staff professionalism, grooming errors, and communication issues, including reports of injuries during grooming and rude customer interactions.
