Credentialed trainers on the floor, structured days instead of open play, honest pricing, and a willingness to work with dogs other facilities decline.
Yes. Our team includes a Victoria Stilwell Academy certified trainer, an IAABC accredited trainer with a Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis, plus CATCH Academy and PST-CI certified trainers.
Every trainer completes 6 continuing education credits per month, and all other staff complete 4. We set that standard ourselves because the industry has none.
$55 full day, $48 half day. No membership fees, no enrollment fees, no holiday surcharges.
Positive reinforcement, Fear Free practices, choice-based training, and LIMA principles. Never force, corrections, or aversive tools.
Often, yes. Failing an open-play temperament test elsewhere does not disqualify a dog here.
There is no single body governing the standards of dog trainers, which means anyone can print a business card. That is exactly why we publish our team's qualifications and hold ourselves to a written continuing education standard.
Because the industry does not regulate itself, OutWoof Bound created its own requirements. Every trainer completes six continuing education credits per month and all other staff complete four, and we often do that learning together as a team. See the full record on our continuing education page.
Our day rotates through supervised play, training games and enrichment, place training and mat time, outdoor activities, and genuine rest, with potty breaks at every transition. Adventures run Monday through Thursday and may include fields, farm animals, barn and river access, off-leash hiking on Larch Mountain, creeks and swimming holes, and public access training around Portland.
The best dog daycare is not the one with the flashiest webcams, it is the one where your dog is genuinely understood and safe. At OutWoof Bound, a certified trainer is on the floor every single shift. That means structured play, real enrichment, calm-time intervals, and a team that steps in before problems start, rather than a warehouse of dogs left to sort it out themselves.
Located at 5404 SE 72nd Ave, we serve Woodstock, Foster-Powell, Sellwood, Hawthorne, Mt. Tabor, and greater SE Portland. Full-day daycare is $55 and half-day is $48, with no membership fees and no holiday surcharges. Every day includes daily photos, videos, and updates so you stay connected to your dog.
