How up dog Helps Dog Lovers and Their Pets

My holistic approach to dog training is built on three major pillars: owner education, obedience training, and dog therapy.

This approach is focused on creating clear communication between humans and their animals in order to create understanding, peace, & harmony in homes with pets.

up dog helps owners live the life they imagined when they first brought their dog home.

Whether you just got a puppy, need help walking your dog on a loose leash, or are dealing with aggressive behavior, up dog is here to help.

up dog combines science-backed, balanced training techniques with an emphasis on owner education to deliver lasting results.

Compassion for the animal is always at the forefront of the training & up dog implements therapeutic techniques to get to the source of unwanted behaviors.
