Discover the greatness in your dog
At Up A Level K9, we believe lasting change begins with understanding the dog in front of us. Behavior is communication, and we look beyond what a dog is doing to understand why.
Whether your dog struggles with pulling, jumping, fear, anxiety, reactivity, or aggression, our approach goes beyond obedience. We focus on emotional regulation, building confidence, clear communication, and helping owners become trustworthy leaders their dogs can look to for guidance and safety.
Every dog and family has a unique story. We meet them where they are, building the trust, understanding, and real-life skills needed to move forward together.

Starting with a puppy?
Get help building a strong foundation—whether you’re choosing a puppy or one has already joined your family.
-
Everyday life feels harder than it should?
If walks, outings, or time at home have become frustrating, we can help you work toward calmer, more reliable routines.
-
Dealing with fear, reactivity, or aggression?
Complex behavior calls for an individual plan, careful handling, and an honest conversation about what support makes sense.
Real progress in real life.
A calmer walk. A more peaceful home. More confidence in situations that used to feel overwhelming. Progress looks different for every dog and family—and the people doing the work can describe it best.

“She taught us how to establish a trusting relationship, letting him know that he did not have to be in control anymore and didn’t need to always look for an escape (under the table, in his kennel, near the door) . . . He was no longer the fearful, wary dog we had left.”

“We recently did a long 10 hour roadtrip out to Colorado with Breck and bringing him around town off leash with TONS of other dogs around he did SO good. We received tons of compliments from people just so amazed at him remaining his heel as we walked by humans/dogs and how good he was. We were able to sit at multiple restaurants/breweries and he would be right next to us just watching as others passed by. All in all to say, this would not have been possible without the training he received from Up a Level K9! We cannot recommend this team enough”
