Upper Pups offers private, in-home, or virtual positive-based training and overall wellness education for dogs and their owners. Their goal is to help strengthen the bond between humans and animals through reward-based training.
Their certifications include VSPDT, CVT, and VSPDT, and they serve as the Head Trainer. The recommended training equipment includes chest-clipping harnesses, head halters when necessary, and flat buckle or martingale collars. They do not work with chain, prong, or electric collars, as they believe these weaken the trust bond between human and dog.
Their training philosophy is centered on science and reward-based techniques, focusing on teaching dogs what to do rather than what not to do. They offer training for behavioral cues, tricks, and positive potty and crate training, all aimed at strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners.
They offer in-home training in Cape May County and Lower Atlantic County and virtual training worldwide via Zoom or Google Hangouts. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, GoodPup Certified Dog Trainer, and Victoria Stilwell Certified Dog Trainer, they bring a wealth of knowledge to their training.
By emphasizing positive reinforcement, they aim to cultivate good manners and essential skills in dogs, encouraging them to make good choices and become valued members of their families.
