About Underdog Universe Dog Training

I am a lifelong dog owner and dedicated dog trainer. I founded Underdog Universe with the goal of helping to create better communication between all dogs and their owners. Establishing proper communication with your dog takes practice and knowledge; my job is not to teach your dog how to listen to me…it’s to teach YOU how to become the best communicator and leader for your dog. I also offer therapy dog training and certification.

Underdog Universe gave us the ability to enjoy our little guy more than we could have imagined! Romeo was a barking maniac who struggled to walk through the neighborhood. Now he is gaining confidence, listening to our commands and running off leash with us through the woods! We are excited to have earned our CGC and our Therapet United Certificate and can’t wait to see all the adventures Romeo now has the ability to experience! We absolutely recommend Underdog universe for anyone who wants a better relationship with their canine counterpart!

We had an outstanding experience working with Zack. He helped our Cavapoo earn both his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification and his Therapy Dogs United (TDU) certification, and we couldn't be happier with the results. He is incredibly knowledgeable, easy-going, and wonderful to work with. From the very beginning, he made the training process enjoyable and approachable for our entire family. He taught us exactly what we needed to do to reinforce the training at home and become better handlers ourselves and was always available for questions. His patience, expertise, and ability to explain things in a way that everyone could understand made all the difference. Thanks to his guidance, we have a well-behaved, confident dog and the skills to continue building on that foundation. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares about both dogs and their families!

We highly recommend Zack and had a great experience with him training our 10 month old puppy! Zack is very knowledgeable, organized, and easy to work with. He taught us a great deal and helped us to quickly identify learning opportunities with our dog.

At 78 years old my husband and i decided to get a puppy. Her name is Dixie and she is a Bernedoodle. Her energy was more than we expected. We turned to Zack when she was 6 months old and he taught us how she thinks as well as how to train her. She is 10 months old today and is now our All-American girl.

Zack was great to work with. He is calm and encouraging and offers very helpful, hands-on guidance and training for both dog and owner. I highly recommend him!
