How Our Program Paths Work

 Discovery and Jumpstart

Your starting point.

We meet you and your Dog, understand your goals, and get foundational skills started right away.

→ This sets the direction so you’re not guessing.



Your Training Path 

Training is organized around your dog’s age and stage of development, then the type of support they need:

  • Real Life Skills for everyday manners, confidence, communication, and life together.
  • Big Feelings for dogs who need more support navigating excitement, frustration, fear, reactivity, or overwhelm.



Aftercare

Aftercare provides a supported transition toward independence, with trainer check-ins, skill brush-ups, and guidance as you begin doing more on your own.

You’ll know what to practise, what to watch for, and when to reach out if something starts to wobble.



UpDog Circle - Membership 

Because training shouldn’t end the minute the problem is solved. There’s a whole lot of fun to have now that you you and your dog are working as a team. Keep skills sharp, learn amazing tricks, discover Nose Work and more. For Dogs that have worked through Real Life Skills or Big Feelings Programs with us.

Skill Builder Day Camp Vs Private Coaching

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.

Your Dog's Path Forward

The Dog of your dreams is closer than you think.
