What Our Clients Say

"You can't go wrong with Lucid!"

“I engaged Lucid to train my re-homed seven-year-old chihuahua, and assist in a smooth transition. I found a high level of value, not just in training commands, but in better understanding my dog’s behavior and personality. The guidance from Lucid ensured a well-mannered dog, and really helped facilitate a quick bond for BOTH of us! I found their overall knowledge and expertise directly applicable to our circumstances and my dog. The follow up and resources were always timely and relevant. They are personable, flexible and build skills that can be applied in a lifetime of dog ownership. You can’t go wrong with Lucid!”

— Stephanie F., Lake Oswego, OR

“Worth every penny!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Katie as a dog (and people) trainer! We have never had a puppy before and she equipped us with tools and knowledge that have helped shape our dog (now almost 2 years) into a wonderful family dog! I quickly saw that our natural instincts on how to “train” our dog would have been all wrong after learning her concepts. I am beyond grateful to her. She was a delight and fun to have in our home as she helped us, and our children learn how to work with our dog. She used positive reinforcement, which we continue to see success with to this day. However, she is also strong about boundaries with dogs as well. Her and her husband’s expertise are worth every penny!”

— Jenny A., Tualatin, OR

“Highly recommend!”

We hired Chris and Katie for help laying a foundation and training our 13-week-old Airedoodle puppy. We just completed the eight sessions, and they were excellent. We like how they trained us to train the dog, with skills that will last throughout her lifetime. Chris was very thoughtful, knowledgeable, gave great expertise and advice. They were especially helpful in getting us all through this puppy phase. Highly recommend!!
