About Urban Pawsibilities
Urban Pawsibilities is a dog training company, founded in Jan. 2020, by Emma Brent, CPDT-KA, and co-owned by Meaghan Summerbell-Burggraf, KPA-CPT, CPDT-KA, et. al, that aims to help people and dogs across the Portland Metro area create a dialogue where needs are met, expectations are clear, and behavior is reliable. We do this by providing a variety of services, including: private lessons, day training, board and train, puppy socials and group classes. We serve all dogs, but specialize in puppy and adolescent socialization/training and reactivity rehabilitation.

What Pet Parents Are Saying About Urban Pawsibilities
Deb H
We are huge fans of Meaghan and Emma. Ludo, my mini Aussie, has worked with both of these talented folks since he was a tiny little pup. We did quite a few private socialization sessions with Meaghan and puppy kindergarten with Emma. At this point, I will take any class they offer. They are both amazing instructors--we have been so lucky to work with them. Looking forward to our next daystay at Urban Pawsibilities.
Debbie A
Emma is amazing. She worked with my pup, Puddles, on basic skills, loose leash walking and leash reactivity. She not only helped build Puddles' confidence and trust, but my own - if it wasn't for Emma, I never would've felt comfortable letting Puddles off leash in an open dog park (eg 1000 acres). She really knows how to read dog body language and work on meeting dogs where they are in the process, without overwhelming them. My bond with Puddles has definitely grown stronger thanks to Emma!

2 amazing dog lovers running this place. We know Meaghan and she is so natural and loving with our Lulu. Looking forward to many visits to the new establishment.
