Within the first handful of sessions, the picture shifted. The dog who'd been riding Butter's reactivity off a cliff started showing his actual personality — social, willing, curious. She didn't need much to become less reactive. She just needed Butter's influence out of the room and a clear set of expectations from Rachel. The milestone that sticks with me: Peanut playing with Luda. Luda is the resident assistant trainer dog, and he's part of how I work with some of the dogs I train. For Peanut to be comfortable enough — calm enough, trusting enough — to play with another dog in a new environment meant the foundation was genuinely there. That's not a trick. That's a different dog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/b4f8c2ea-b2d1-494e-9532-f151ac9d2a8b/butter-bean.jpg Von Dubinhaus Blogs - Peanut & Butter: A Year of Progress, Two Very Different Dogs There's another moment Rachel mentioned that I think captures where Butter is now: her neighbor's dog was barking in the yard, and Butter looked to Rachel instead of exploding. She was still alert — she noticed, she felt it — but she waited. She checked in. She made a choice. That's the work. Not the absence of feeling, but the presence of a different response. Her dog reactivity is still being worked on. She's not where Peanut is. At my place, around my dogs, both Peanut and Butter are both calm and happy dogs — that's real and significant progress. But in the wider world, Butter still has triggers we're working through. We're over a year in, and we're still going. That's honest. https://www.vondubinhaus.com/blogs/why-summer-is-the-best-time-to-train-your-dog-in-portland monthly 0.5 2026-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/4282c88c-44d0-4022-a762-ded4ae922cbe/dog-training-package.png Von Dubinhaus Blogs - Why Summer Is the Best Time to Train Your Dog in Portland - I offer several ways to work together, depending on where you are and what your dog needs: Every new client starts with a Temperament Test ($45) — 45 minutes for me to meet your dog, assess where they are, and tell you exactly what I think they need. No pressure, no package upsell if it's not warranted. Just an honest read. Initial Package — ($170) — Great if you want to identify the issue, get a plan, and run with it yourself. We’ll first do the temperament test then spend one focused hour with your dog and a clear roadmap before you leave. Foundation Package — 4 Sessions ($400) — The right start for most dogs. We build the basics right, establish structure, and give you the tools to maintain it. Transformation Package — 8 Sessions ($800) — For dogs with more complex issues: reactivity, aggression, anxiety, fear. This is where the real work happens. Eight sessions across a few months — summer to early fall is ideal timing. Lifetime Training (from $2,000) — For owners who want unlimited support for the life of their dog. No expiration, no per-session fees. Just show up when you need us. Board & Train — If you want immersive, intensive results while you travel or work, your dog stays with me. Minimum 4 weeks. Inquire for pricing and availability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/b02d3079-1348-44ab-85c5-65abd58f99ba/summer-tips-dog-training.png Von Dubinhaus Blogs - Why Summer Is the Best Time to Train Your Dog in Portland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.vondubinhaus.com/blogs/balanced-dog-training-vs-positive-only-portland monthly 0.5 2026-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/0834b9e8-038b-4dc3-8512-bcc4d31986c9/balanced-dog-training Von Dubinhaus Blogs - Balanced Dog Training vs. Positive Only: What's the Difference? - Balanced Dog Training Positive reinforcement — adding something good to increase a behavior (treats, praise) Negative reinforcement — removing something uncomfortable to increase a behavior (releasing leash pressure when the dog complies) Positive correction — adding something to decrease a behavior (a verbal "hey," a leash correction) Negative correction — removing something good to decrease a behavior (turning away, withdrawing attention) https://www.vondubinhaus.com/blogs/summer-heat-dogs-portland-boarding-daycare monthly 0.5 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/9a439bc2-57ca-4eca-afba-2413619d41b3/Signs+of+heatstroke+in+dogs Von Dubinhaus Blogs - How Summer Heat Affects Dogs — and What to Do About It - Infographic Source: Chewy Early signs (act now): Excessive panting or drooling Restlessness or inability to settle Bright red gums or tongue Seeking shade and refusing to move Glazed or unfocused eyes Elevated temperature and heart rate ❤️‍ Escalating signs (get help immediately): Vomiting or diarrhea Disorientation Stumbling, weakness, or collapse Excessive thirst with no relief Pale or gray gums Loss of consciousness https://www.vondubinhaus.com/blogs/signs-your-dog-needs-professional-training-in-portland monthly 0.5 2026-06-10 https://www.vondubinhaus.com/blogs/launching-von-dubinhaus monthly 0.5 2026-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/78bd0dbe-e8fc-4d1b-8a79-dda8551755ae/Screenshot+2026-06-03+at+17.09.36.png Von Dubinhaus Blogs - Launching Von Dubinhaus Dog Training Services 2.0 - Make it stand out What You'll Find at vondubinhaus.com: Dog Training — sessions, packages, Lifetime Training & Board & Train Dog Boarding — safe, attentive overnight care starting at $45/night Doggy Daycare — open 9am–9pm daily, over quarter acre to roam Dog Wash & Groom — bath, brush & blow dry starting at $40 Meet Paul — 25+ years of experience, his full story & philosophy FAQ sections — answers to everything before you even have to ask https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/fdfb916d-64a7-4447-9fac-c80d36e99c0a/IMG_7763.jpeg Von Dubinhaus Blogs - Launching Von Dubinhaus Dog Training Services 2.0 - This is the story of our four-legged staff member. One thing we love telling people about is Luda. Luda is our resident assistant trainer — and yes, Luda is a dog. There's something incredibly powerful about dog-to-dog rehabilitation that humans simply can't replicate. Luda has a gift for communicating what Paul can't, helping other dogs find their calm, their confidence, and their trust. Some of the most dramatic transformations we've seen — dogs like Java, who came to us as a ticking time bomb and left able to play freely and socialize — happened in large part because of Luda. When you bring your dog to Von Dubinhaus, they're not just working with a trainer. They're joining a pack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/11801915-c940-4d71-b415-5a081724af8c/VonDubinhaus-Training-Techniques Von Dubinhaus Blogs - Launching Von Dubinhaus Dog Training Services 2.0 - Make it stand out Von Dubinhaus Dog Training Techniques: Balanced Training - We combine positive reinforcement and corrective techniques tailored to each individual dog. No one-size-fits-all methods — just what works best for your dog and the behavior at hand. Body Language & Communication - Your dog is already an expert at reading you. We teach you to read them back — from eye expressions to subtle physical cues — so you can stay one step ahead as the pack leader. Therapeutic Support - Sometimes behavior goes deeper than commands. We incorporate therapeutic-grade essential oils, CBD oil, hemp treats, and other calming aids to support behavioral modification from the inside out. Aggression & Behavior Rehabilitation - We specialize in the cases others turn away — intense dog and human aggression, reactivity, and severe behavioral issues. Our goal is simple: keep dogs with their families where they belong. https://www.vondubinhaus.com/home daily 1.0 2026-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/4847f70d-b836-47c7-b610-5e4630517daf/ChatGPTImageMay18202603_42_24PM-ezgif.com-crop.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/011bd129-a815-4b57-a291-e905b41c5c76/20230314_165124.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/36fba2d9-1ba3-40ec-9fd9-9466fcaaf822/IMG_7801.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/dbfae995-39b1-4013-babb-b6913213c50c/ChatGPT+Image+May+18%2C+2026%2C+03_35_48+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/0c9e40d0-a6ea-4c5d-a3a3-1d4f87285ce4/portlanddogintraining.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/e35613bc-77b3-4c3c-a7b0-987ee0e140e6/happydogintraining.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/fa74c1ff-c95c-4697-982e-199fc62230ae/gs-daycare.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/4a4625ee-785f-4e3b-b807-c92e19f9fda6/paul-and-pack https://www.vondubinhaus.com/dog-training daily 0.75 2026-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Dog Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Dog Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Dog Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/cb55f48e-3452-4455-8d21-edcc907fbe07/dog-training-temperament-test.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/1b090f4a-cef0-4caa-8423-9f709d2b6f32/dog-training-agility.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/c21a7fbe-6aef-48f9-ad91-494fae8257c1/dog-training-command-praise.jpeg https://www.vondubinhaus.com/dog-boarding daily 0.75 2026-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/fdfb916d-64a7-4447-9fac-c80d36e99c0a/IMG_7763.jpeg https://www.vondubinhaus.com/doggy-daycare daily 0.75 2026-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/41d34d4e-cc64-4205-8694-57bb972325e9/doggydaycareportland.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/4a4625ee-785f-4e3b-b807-c92e19f9fda6/paul-and-pack https://www.vondubinhaus.com/wash-groom daily 0.75 2026-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/4847f70d-b836-47c7-b610-5e4630517daf/ChatGPTImageMay18202603_42_24PM-ezgif.com-crop.png https://www.vondubinhaus.com/your-trainer daily 0.75 2026-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/90eae0e5-6ad1-42b0-b053-a82ad1756d96/Trainer-Profile.png https://www.vondubinhaus.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/1ff4992e-d016-4dd5-a9c6-2391d27b86b2/happy-husky-shepherd.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/dd0c2a67-b890-4c00-b534-18a492f2db0b/Luda-tunnel-smile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/4b9d4249-70be-4590-9f23-92908f6e8b6a/IMG_7766.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e1277eda8997507e9622a4/368dc6ef-ac77-4670-bf26-c12a635ccc74/happy-dog-groom.jpg https://www.vondubinhaus.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2026-06-10
