Chaos to Calm

For the Tricky Stuff

An Easier Life With Your Dog Starts Here

You didn’t get a dog for the stress, the struggles, or the sinking feeling that you’re in over your head.

You got a dog for companionship. For connection. For joy-filled walks, cozy evenings, and shared adventures.
But somewhere along the way, it got hard—harder than you expected. And now you’re tired. Tired of the leash battles. The barking. The outbursts. The guilt.
You love your dog deeply, but love alone isn’t solving the problem.


At UpDog Training, we specialize in helping dedicated dog owners shift from frustration to freedom.

Using science-based, proven, reward based training we’ll help you build focus, confidence, and calm—step by step.


This isn’t Just Training. It’s Transformation.

Your Dream Dog Starts Here!

Having a Dog Was Suppost to be Easier 

No matter where you're starting from with your dog, we’re here to help you move forward.


Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or just unsure what to do next, we’ll meet you where you are. Together, we’ll work toward the relationship you hoped for when you first brought your dog home—the calm, connected life you imagined. 

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes, Chaos to Calm is run at our Low Distraction Classroom. It is critical for our dogs to focus in order to build the Foundational Skills. 

However, in some cases, the dog is fearful of the vehicle. We can make exceptions for these cases. Travel fees apply outside of  the town of Sundre.


You wouldn’t be here if things felt easy—we understand. We specifically build these programs to create a safe, supportive environment. If your dog needs a little extra help to get started, we  simply change the plan to meet them where they're at so they’re set up for success!


This class is for dogs who bark, lunge, freeze, panic, or shut down in everyday situations. Whether your dog is reactive, fearful, or just over-the-top, we focus on teaching emotional regulation, resilience, and choice-based skills. If your dog struggles in public or at home, you're in the right place.


“Cured” isn’t quite the right word—dogs with big feelings aren’t broken, they’re overwhelmed. Chaos to Calm helps you understand your dog’s emotions, build trust, and give them the tools to feel safe and respond differently. This is the first step toward lasting change and a calmer, more connected life together. 


That’s often our goal, and many dogs do! Chaos to Calm gives you a strong Foundation in handling skills and helps your dog gain the focus and confidence they need for more advanced or real-world training. We’ll help you decide when and how to take that next step.


In most cases, private sessions are offered as part of a package designed to give you the best results—not just a quick fix. Complex Behavior aka Chaos takes time, consistency, and a thoughtful plan. That said, if you’ve completed a program and want to book a follow-up or refresh session, we’re happy to offer that option.


Yes, Dogs MUST be up to date on vaccinations. Required are 4 way, Rabies & Bordetella. This is for the safety and well being of all dog in all programs, group and private. Current titer testing is acceptable.


When scheduling your sessions, we do so carefully. Once we book you in there are no cancelations or refunds. Your dog doesn't want you to second guess your decision to get them the help they need to make things easier for both of you. They need your consistency and commitment to succeed!


Not sure if this is right for you and your dog?

If you’ve ever thought: “I love my dog, but this is harder than I expected”

 —You’re exactly who we’re here for!


Whether you’re rebuilding after a setback or starting fresh with big hopes, we see you.
No shame. No judgment. Just clear, calm guidance and a path forward—together.


Let’s turn the struggle into something you’re proud of.

Your Dream Dog is closer than you think.
Let’s Find the Right Fit

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.
