Sara McLoudrey is the owner of Decisive Moment Pet Consulting and has been a professional, positive reinforcement dog trainer for 18 years! I specialize in behavior modification of aggression towards people and dogs, resource guarding, helping senior dogs thrive, and aggression and stress at the groomer or veterinarian. While I specialize in these topics, I see all types of serious behavior cases.

Sara is amazing at what she does. She has tons of experience with some of the most severe behavior cases and is an excellent trainer. Not only that, she’s easy and fun to work with and is entirely committed to positive reinforcement, force free training. When I’ve come to her with a difficult case she’s always got amazing ideas that I hadn’t thought of, and the follow up email she sends after the appointment is clear and thorough. I highly recommend decisive moment pet consulting to any pet professional who wants to take their training and behavior modification services to the next level.

Overall, I've had a really positive experience with this vet clinic and Dr. Connolly in particular. Â My pup is pretty fearful and hates going to the vet, and he has been treated with patience and understanding. Â He can get snippy when he's feeling threatened and I have never felt judged by them, but rather treated with compassion and told that I'm doing a great job caring for him. Â Considering how stressed I am about his behavior and how much time I've put into trying to train him, it's a relief to be acknowledged for that work and not treated like a failed pet parent. Â It's great for him too because the vet understands that he's gone through so much in his short life that it's amazing he's not worse than he is. Â My other favorite thing is that I can email the vet directly and she always responds, often within a day. Â This really saves us from unnecessary stress for my dog, because I don't need to come in to ask a quick question about heartworm meds or whatever else.The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because while Dr Connolly is clearly trained in Fear Free methods, I'm not sure the rest of the staff are. Â We recently had an interaction with a new (to us) vet tech and it was not a great experience. Â My pup needed a vaccine and she came in and didn't even acknowledge my dog. Â He was wagging his tail and wanting to say hi but instead of greeting him and letting him get a sniff in, she immediately started preparing the needle. Â At that point, he backed up into a corner and got scared. Â She only got close to him when she needed to put the shot in, and even at that point, she didn't say hi to him. Â I think this made the whole situation more stressful for him because it could've been more positive had she taken a minute or two to get one his level, let him sniff her, etc. Â I think some training for staff on how to be fear free would really help!

Brand new business in the area! We've been waiting for something like this, too! It's reasonable and the facility is clean...and the owner loves dogs! I brought my two dogs there (40 lb terrier mix... and a 12 lb doxipoo) for opening day... and they had a blast. Lots of other dogs to play with, and plenty of space. Wags did a prescreening/interview of each visiting dog. I wasn't at all worried about my little guy getting hurt.

We adopted our standard poodle from the humane society and after we brought her home, found she was withdrawn, easily spooked and did not care for any interaction with us. After having her for a year and making little progress, we decided there must be more that we could do for her to get her more adjusted and hopefully have a happy dog. Dawn has made astonishing progress with our Rosey who now asks/demands for the touch therapy she taught us. She has gained confidence, security and is greatly coming out of her shell. We could not recommend this MORE for your pet if it is needed.

We’re a family run obedience school focused on helping handlers understand and communicate effectively with their canines! We offer group and 1-on-1 training sessions as well as a Train4U program- call, text, or email us today and we’d be happy to go over the details and address any questions or concerns you might have.
It is our firm belief that a loving dog is never too old, young, wild, lazy, or silly to learn a new trick and to watch these wonderful canines eyes light up when they finally get a trick right and see how happy it makes their handler is just such a rewarding experience that I couldn’t possibly ever imagine doing another job.
My K-9, Shiva, inspired me to start the Tigard School of K-9 Obedience- she had such a rough start in life, but she still worked so hard at her training just to make me happy. It helped me realize a very basic truth about canines- they want a job, a purpose, a reason for their lives because they want to show us how much they love us- obedience training gives them that. Training is a wonderful communication tool that can be established between handler and K-9 and the trainers here at the Tigard School for K-9 Obedience are trainers not only to help the dog, but also to help the handler read, respond, and respect their K-9 every step of the way so that each session can be tailored to what works best for them.
We hope that you choose the Tigard School for K-9 Obedienec because we love what we do- we wake up every morning excited about and loving what we do- we love to watch the relationship grow between handler and K-9! When we help train a dog we not only help bring peace and harmony into a home- we help open up a line of communication between individuals from two different species- we teach you how to talk to your K-9 and how to hear and understand what your K-9 is trying to say to you.
