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.

Ryan took my sweet but hyper Labrador pup and turned his “selective hearing” into a reliable recall, on point door manners, and a joy to walk on and off leash with. He really relieved the frustration I was feeling as a new dog mom and planted the seed to helping me communicate better with my puppy. The sense of respect and solid bond that Ryan gave me the tools to create is priceless. I highly recommend Underdog Universe to any dog owner!

Zack was awesome! Our puppy, Archy, completed the 2 week board and train program. Like most young puppies, he struggled with leash walking, excitement for food and has been working on basic commands at home. In that short time, Archy learned several basic commands and made a huge transformation with all the areas we were hoping to improve at home. We highly recommend the board and train program with Zack!

I hired Zach for four sessions with my four month old bulldog. She is listening loads better than when we started, I think what I didn’t realize most was that the dog training lessons are for you not the dog. Zach taught me how to proper train my dog and even the four weeks of training is over with him, he has equipped me with the skills needed to train my dogs properly. She gets better and better each day, and Zach even checks in with me to make sure training is still doing well. I would recommend him to anyone. He was always on time, polite, clean, and focused when he came to my house to train. If in the future I want more classes I will call him again!

I carefully chose Zack to take care of my dog while I went on vacation! Zack is great at his craft - and I felt like my dog was in the best of hands & learning great things. If anyone is looking for peace of mind while you’re away, Underdog Universe is the way to go. Thank you Zack I am so grateful for your thoroughness, professionalism, & personal touch!

HIGHLY recommend. Zack did such an amazing job with our ornery girl, Abby. As first time dog owners with full time schedules and a high energy dog, the 2 week board and train program was exactly what we needed. We tried weekly classes through another training school and training her ourselves for months, but Abby still struggled focusing and following commands. After 2 weeks with Zack, it was like we picked up a whole new pup. If you’re debating the best option for training, Underdog Universe is 100% it.
