Jane began working with dogs in 2010 when she became employed by Service Dogs, Inc.

Training Philosophy
Jane is a lifelong animal advocate and has been fascinated with studying animal behavior as long as she can recall. Jane is a CPDT-KA certified trainer, which means she uses positive-reinforcement training methods to ensure that each dog has a fun and enjoyable experience while learning. With her compassion and empathy, she understands that each dog is unique. Her approach is patient and thoughtful -- taking into consideration each individual dog's needs, as well as their owner's specific training goals. She believes every dog deserves an opportunity to reach their maximum potential, and she loves being able to help by providing the tools that make this possible.
Services
Jane Howard founded Level Up Pup Training with the firm belief that training should be a fun experience for both dogs and their pet parents. She has over ten years of experience training a variety of ages and breeds.
Basic obedience training is the primary service Level Up Pup offers at this time, which includes (but is not limited to) working on behaviors such as attention, sit, down, stay, coming when called, leash manners, as well as working on mitigating undesirable behaviors such as jumping up, mouthing when excited, etc.
Through force-free positive reinforcement training methods, the aim is to create a fun training experience where dogs and humans can grow and learn together. The goal is to improve behavior while also helping improve relationships between owners and their dogs. This is achieved by teaching owners how to keep their dogs engaged and successful throughout the learning process.

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet.

Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
