YOUR DREAM DOG STARTS HERE!

Training For all of Your Dog's Life Stages

Your Dream Dog Starts Here

Struggling with your dog’s behavior? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve tried it all?  This is hard—but you don’t have to figure it out by yourself 

At UpDog Training, problem-solving is our specialty. Whether it’s fear, reactivity, big feelings, or total chaos—we help dogs and their people find calm, confidence, and connection again.


But it’s not only about problems! We also support dogs and owners who want to start strong, brush up on skills, or keep learning through every stage of life!


We meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, compassion, and proven training that works.


Let’s Build Your Dream Dog, Together!

☀️ Summer Spotlight: Chaos to Calm

The Struggle is Real...

This Can’t Be What Having a Dog Is Supposed to Feel Like.


You love your dog—but the barking, pulling, lunging, and stress are stealing the joy out of having a dog. You're tired of avoiding walks, apologizing to neighbors, and second-guessing everything.


It doesn’t have to be this way. 

 I will guide you to calmer walks, clearer communication, and a life with your dog that finally feels good again.

Setting You & Your Dog Up For Success!

When it comes to an animal’s learning and behavior, there’s no such thing as a guaranteed training result. No one can predict a dog’s (or anyone’s) behavior without fail. Because of this, training results can’t be guaranteed—but I do guarantee to set you and your dog up for success. I’ll provide the support you need throughout the training process to bring out the best in your furry friend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at trainingupdogs@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We use up to date, science backed reward & reinforcement techniques. No prong, no shock, no slip lead or aversive methods.(We can help transition from these as well).


The number of sessions needed varies by dog, goals, and progress. Your commitment to your dog's training will benefit your dog progress. There will be homework, but don't worry! It can be as little as 5 to 10 min 1-2 times a day. 


Multiple sessions are crucial for reinforcing learning, tracking progress and ensuring consistent, effective training and behavior change.


To maximize success, stay consistent, follow trainer’s guidance, be patient, practice regularly, use positive reinforcement, and set clear goals.


Private Coaching I will work with both you and your dog through learning new skills, while in The Fast Track Program I work with your dog one-on-one, and then transfer your dogs new skills to you.


 Dogs excel with consistency and repetition. Training sessions are most effective 2 to 3 times per week, with a minimum of once a week.  Training sessions are 60 minutes each. The timeframe your dog needs to build the skills you are looking for depends on the skills themselves.  


Yes, you can be present for the Fast Track sessions if desired. Observing can help you understand techniques and reinforce learning, but I kindly ask that you save your questions until the end of the session. 


If you have multiple dogs, I can tailor training plans for each one, address group dynamics, and offer package options.
