Jessica and Gwenyn are both AMAZING. I have a new puppy I am looking to train for service work so it is very important to me that he is able to build foundational obedience skills both promptly and with positive reinforcement exclusively. The 5 week puppy group class we just completed was great, and has given us lots of skills to work on before we begin our CGC prep class with them in a few short weeks. Their classes are of phenomenal value for the price, and both Jess and Gwenyn are informative, assuring, and will handle your fuzzy family members in the respectful, kind manner they deserve.

Jessica is a dog whisperer! When we got Bodhi from the shelter in March, he was scared of his own shadow! Through in home sessions and board and train, he is now a much more confident and social pup. He is finally ready for some obedience training and we will turn to Jessica for help with that also. We have had many dogs, but never one that was this timid, so her help has been priceless!

I have been working with Gwenyn and Jessica for about 3 months and I am so impressed with them! It is so awesome to have this type of training in Newberg. It IS work and not a quick fix, but I’m convinced it’s the only way to get long term and lasting results. Gwenyn and Jessica are there every step of the way and so giving of their time and expertise. I highly recommend Empowered Canine Solutions!

I went into dog training feeling a little hopeless. Our rescue we got was incredibly reactive and aggressive, and trainers I had worked with in the past had never left lasting results or had just left us on our own after the program finished. Gwen and her team have completely changed everything and helped our family, and our puppy, in the most amazing way possible. She is kind, responsive, and overall such a fun person to work with. And, of course, her methods are amazing and come from a place of love and trust with your dog. We are so lucky to know her and this business! Thank you so much, Gwen!

The two ladies who run ECS are incredible.
They are kind, effective, positive & produce the BEST results.
I have worked with them with some of my Danes & some of my clients also utilize their training services. If you need an AMAZING trainer, look no further. Excellence is the baseline here.
Special mention: They partnered up with EVE to get a service dog into a home for someone in need. They have given their time as part of the partnership and DONATED training to a family in need that could not afford to train a service dog. Thank you ladies, I will always utilize you and your services when it comes to ANY of my dogs and will refer you to ALL future clients.
Much love.

Gwen was so amazing with helping me train my dog virtually. He quickly made great strides in being able to be groomed and Gwen is so knowledgeable and made sure to share that with me each lesson. I highly recommend her training to anyone looking!
