Trainer & Behaviour Specialist


 Experiences with my own rescue dogs, each facing unique and often overwhelming challenges sparked my deep passion for helping dogs, leading me to pursue education in Dog Training and Behaviour.


In addition to Certifications from CCPDT in Training, Aggression in Dogs Master Course, Behaviour Consulting & Training from Dogma Academy, I also have studied and earned Certificates in holistic care methods like Reiki, TTouch, and the Masterson Method, I approach each dog as an individual, tailoring my methods to suit their unique needs.


I love to share my knowledge with dog owners to help them achieve their goals and get the very best out of their Canine Companions!

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!
