Up N Atom Dog Training and Daycare

Where to even begin! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alicia!!! If you're looking for not only a dog trainer but also an incredible person who will guide you, be honest, encourage and support you, then you need to look no further than right here. I met Alicia many years ago and having not only someone whom I can call a dear friend, but also someone who supports every single aspect of helping us train and understand the mind of a dog is a blessing I never knew we needed. Alicia has helped coach us every step of the way with integrating our new puppy, Daisy, into our home which prexists with a senior dog who has (at times) struggled with some big reactivity and anxiousness. Alicia has taught us ways to be consistent, to remain calm and focused. I always tell her that I think she isn't just training dogs - she's training us humans as well! Alicia opened up our world to a community of support, love, kindness, encouragement and a belief that with consistency, hard work and patience, not only can we learn amazing habits that greatly benefit our dogs but our dogs and other dogs can exist in a world without a heavy weight of anxiety and reactivity. Thank you, Alicia! We love you!

Shana Zimmerman is the real deal. Whether you’re raising a pet dog, prepping a sport dog, or just want to teach some flashy tricks, Up and Atom has you covered. Shana brings skill, creativity, and real-world experience to every session. Her ability to work across such a wide range of training styles speaks volumes about her knowledge and passion. If you want results and a trainer who truly understands dogs, this is the place. Highly recommend.

I have known Shaina as a colleague and friend for many years now, and can recommend her training services highly. In my own 35 year dog training career, I have met many trainers and Shaina is hands-down one of the best. She's conscientious, a great communicator, and most of all, she is absolutely passionate about helping dogs and their owners. If you're looking for training, this is the place to go!
