A Well-Trained Dog Is A Joy To Live With

​When you brought your dog home, you wanted to give them a good life: the whole buffet of doggie joys, new places to explore together and as much freedom as they could responsibly handle.

You want them to have the very best and it would be easier for you to give them that fulfilling life if they were well-trained. A polite dog is welcome in more places because they know how to behave.

They don’t need to be wrestled away from the door when guests arrive.

They’re not going to knock over the kids like toddler-sized bowling pins.

They can go for long walks that actually feel pleasant. 

Level Up Dog Training turns diamonds-in-the-rough into well-mannered members of the family.

Living with an untrained dog can be stressful, but the training process shouldn’t be — for you or for your dog. Whether your problem is jumping, chewing, nipping, pulling on the leash or a general lack of manners, we use reward-based training methods to work through the whole gamut of canine behavior problems.

We can develop the potential of your superstar puppy, help you tame your Cujo-wannabe, or just get Buddy to stop bowling over the guests at the door.

Don’t Forget Your Dog’s Textbook!

Level Up Your Dog Training is a basic obedience manual for DIY-minded pet owners who want to learn by doing. It was designed to accompany our basic obedience program step by step — just in case the dog eats your homework.

I believe that high-quality dog training should be accessible and affordable — even on the tightest budgets, even for the busiest schedules, even if you don’t have a local positive reinforcement trainer in your area. That’s why I wrote the book on it.

For families near Yadkinville, NC, this book makes a great supplement to in-person classes — and for our more distant friends, I’m proud that this book has already helped dogs across five continents so far. (Dogs of Africa and Antarctica, have your people call me.)
