Jane began working with dogs in 2010 when she became employed by Service Dogs, Inc. Her work as a trainer started soon after –She taught basic obedience, as well as more specialized skill sets with mobility assistance dogs and hearing alert dogs. In 2021, Jane decided to pursue her dream of working independently with clients and their pups.
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.
