 Training moments happen all the time, every day!


From refining obedience to tackling behavior issues or mastering advanced skills, every interaction is an opportunity to learn. Whether during walks, play, or quiet moments, consistent positive reinforcement leads to growth and responsiveness.


 Embracing these ongoing opportunities not only improves your dog’s skills but also brings you that much closer to the dog of your dreams!

Reward Based Training

At UPDOG TRAINING, we believe in the power of reward based training to encourage dogs to learn new cues and behaviours. We believe that training should be enjoyable for both dogs and their owners, and our methods reflect this belief.


But aren't you bribing your dog when you use food?

Rewards are not bribes. Learn how to effectively use rewards to power up your dog's learning experience!

Life Skills for Dogs

How do you make training less about commanding your dog to do something and make it more about teaching your dog to make good choices?


We transform old school obedience into Foundation Training. We build these skills up to where we can use them out in the real world, even with distractions present. 


Those, are Life Skills for Dogs!
