We here at Sellwood Dog Supply have had nothing short of rave reviews for rubi and her practice, she has enhanced the quality of life in many of our customers dogs, here are a few testimonials to share with you.
 
 
Where do we start… it seems like you have turned the clock backwards when all else failed to help my 12 year old collie, Quincy. Christmas day he could barely walk. Thanks to your wonderful treatment he is once again emptying his toy basket each morning and playing. We saw this after only one session with you. 
Quincy and I look forward to each session with you. We both know it’s one of the few things that we’ve tried, that truly brings him relief from the agonizing pain he’s been suffering due to his arthritis. It has brought longer periods of relief than any of the drugs or acupuncture treatment that we’d preciously tried. Thank you so much for all that you do.” 
-Dawn and Quincy
 
“What a GREAT class, Rubi!  Gus and I both enjoyed it thoroughly.  He was pretty wound up when we first arrived, but I could tangibly see him relax, as the evening progressed.  At home I am using it on our 16 1/2 yr. old Sunny,  and  Max, our foster dog, who both have lots of issues with arthritis, and spinal dysfunction, and they really relaxed, too.  Thanks for sharing the healing touch with each of us.  It is appreciated!!!   Thanks, too, to Heather, and Dove Lewis for providing the opportunity to enhance our skills!”
 -Susie Billstein and Gus
 
“Thanks again Rubi.
Sometimes I get the “look” when I tell people my dog gets more massages than I do.
But man… Going from talking about quality of life issues 2 years ago with the vet to having a dog that still runs and jumps and catches frisbee and acts the way he does.. So awesome … Thank you, thank you”.

-Chris Thurman and Charlie


20 JulEva, the Chinese Crested

Our newest customer came to us in the hardest possible way.

Meet Eva, a Chinese Crested that came in for her first shopping trip ever.  She was accompanied by her new owner Becky Smith.

EvaEva, five years old, survived an extraordinary ordeal being one of the surviving dogs of an elderly animal hoarder who died in her West Linn home in early June .  She took with her eleven other pets.  Police found 60 remaining animals in the home. Many had neurological symptoms from carbon monoxide exposure.  The healthiest went to the Clackamas shelter, and those with neurological symptoms went to Veterinary Specialist NW for treatment.  Not all were saved.

Becky, a compassionate vet tech at Rose City Veterinary Hospital and a tech at Veterinary Specialist NW on 82nd Place in Clackamas, took Eva to be her own.

Life has taken a giant turn for the better for Eva.  Now her life is full of happy experiences like learning the joy of riding in the car, shopping at Sellwood Dog Supply, wearing fleece jackets, meeting new people and going to work with Becky.

We all thank Becky for saving Eva and wish Eva the happiest new life.

12 AprPlucky Puppy Training Class

Kinderpuppy 1  Sundays at 5:15 pm. Starting Sept. 12th

Pluckypuppy is starting a six week beginning obedience and socialization course, designed especially for puppies between 8 and 20 weeks.  Basic obedience training (sit, down, stay, come….) as well as problem prevention (biting, barking, chewing), using positive reinforcement. Socialization helps prevent future dog-aggression.

$150.00

Kinderpuppy 2+AKC S.T.A.R  Puppy Test  Thursdays at 7:15. Starting Sept. 16th.

This is a 6-week intermediate obedience and socialization course, for puppies up to one year old who have completed Kinderpuppy 1 or an equivalent puppy class. Because continued socialization is such an important part of your puppy’s healthy development into a friendly, well-adjusted adult dog, this class will focus on intermediate obedience and off-leash play and socialization. Adequate socialization to other puppies teaches puppies proper canine communication skills, develops their bite inhibition, and helps prevent future dog-aggression. In addition to socialization, this class also covers intermediate obedience training (more reliable sit, down, stand, stay, come, leave it, and settle) with a focus on greater distractions and fading out food rewards, as well as problem prevention (jumping up, pulling on leash). Each class will include several supervised play sessions. The AKC STAR Puppy Test (the puppy version of the Canine Good Citizen test) will be administered on the last day of class. Puppies must have current DHPP vaccinations. First class meeting is for people only.

$175.00

AKC Canine Good Citizen. Thursdays at 7:15, Starting October 28th, no class 11/25.

Is your dog a well-mannered member of canine and human society? We’ll take 7 weeks to prepare you and your dog to pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test, which will be adminstered on the last day of class. This class will teach your dog how to sit politely during greetings, petting, grooming, and examination; how to walk politely on a loose leash, including through crowds of people and when meeting other dogs and people; to sit, down, stay, and come on cue; , and to maintain focus around distractions and remain calm when you are out of sight. You can read more about the CGC Test Items here. This class is for friendly dogs (purebred and mixed) who have taken a minimum mof two other training classes (or with approval from the instructor). Dogs must be current on DHPP and rabies vaccinations. First class meeting is for people only.

$200.
