Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
I have a dog who loves to play catch and is really good at catching. He could easily be taught to be a frisbee dog. I'm just wondering if people train & enter other people's dogs in these comps. I'm older &can't but he would love it.
Hello! We've hosted a few frisbee competitions, but haven't in a while! You may check out UpDog's website to see what the local offerings are! https://updogchallenge.com/

I’m trying to find a place I can bring my dog and do agility with him but not with a trainer just to do it to get his brain working
They have ring rentals! Schedule is on their website.

Hello! We do offer ring rentals. However, in order to rent the ring, we require that owners/handlers have previously titled their dogs in agility, or they have taken lessons with us! This is just to ensure that you know how to keep your dog safe and happy on the obstacles, since they could become scary or dangerous if you aren't sure how to teach them. :) Our ring rental time is also pretty limited due to our demand for classes, so we always recommend jumping into a group class to get started in agility!

We have just adopted a dear dog whose owner died And I believe we have a border collie corgi mix who clearly was trained as a herder. We know nothing about helping our new family member enjoy his talents. Help.
We have an Anatolian Shepherd who is 3-1/2 yrs. old. He is our son’s dog. Our son no longer lives here, but sees the dog frequently. He obeys his commands, but not mine! He obeys my husband’s commands much more often than mine! I am the primary feeder, and treat provider. That being said, our sweet dog BARKS almost incessantly!!! He wants to be outside watching over the neighborhood! Can this behavior be controlled??? It is very, very frustrating! We need Help!! Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks 🐶

When do you get paid for training
This is a dog training facility where you can pay to take classes and private lessons, rent the dog gym or different training areas, and attend dog sporting events.

I’ve been to other facilities that claim to teach agility-they have all the equipment but their “teaching” amounts to a person and a dog running around without really knowing the intricacies of the sport. At Level Up, the education is oriented first and foremost from the dog’s perspective, beginning with simple and fundamental language for dog and handler. There is no rush to move on to the next level, but rather the goal is to insure the handler understands what and how to communicate with their dog and the dog gives back with confidence and willingness, The instructors are patient and thorough and know what they’re doing. I love it here and so does my dog!
Amazing people run this place. Makes everyone feel at home.
Level Up is a wonderful place to learn agility and have fun with your dogs. From beginners to people who have been doing agility all there lives. I'm new to agility at 65 years of age and am having fun. Also have met so many nice people who are helpful. I've never felt pushed or made to feel like I'm not good enough to compete. It's all about what you want for yourself and your pups.
This is such an amazing place to train. Everyone is amazing, helpful and so supportive. I've learned/am learning so much!!!!!
