Spotlight: Behave Canine Solutions

Behave Canine Solutions is the business of two talented people, Denise Mullenix, CPDT and Jessica Blake, CPDT.  Together they have created one of the most respected dog training businesses in the Portland Metro Area.

Their backgrounds speak for themselves:

Denise has been working professionally with dogs for over 10 years. She started her career working for Columbia County Animal Control where she learned just how bleak the future can look for dogs with behavioral issues or breed bias'. She went on to intern at Oregon Coast K-9 working with narcotics detection, handler protection and search and rescue K-9's. Denise was certified as a dog trainer in 2003 and received her Certification in Instruction of Narcotics Detection, Search and Rescue and Aggression Control from Reif's Advanced K-9 in 2006.

Jessica studied Biology at Portland State University where she received her B.S. She started training dogs at the Oakland SPCA where she evaluated their temperaments and taught them general obedience. She received her certification as a Behavior and Training Specialist from Triple Crown Academy for Dog Trainers outside of Austin, Texas. Jessica is a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.
