Up N Atom Dog Training and Daycare

Having a high energy dog like a GSP can have its challenges. Shaina was able to provide the structure that Lily needed to have a calmer house life whilst providing the exercise outside that Lily needed. We overcame the aversion to nail trimming which was a huge source of stress, now I am able to trim myself. Leash and recall are very pleasant though we constantly continue the training every day, the building blocks are established. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. From the daily pics and videos to the end result. The board and train was tremendously positive. Fully recommend Shaina and team.

Can not say enough great things about my experience with Shaina and Up N Atom! The private lessons have done wonders for my malinois Rufio. I feel very lucky to have such an incredible resource to turn to for training and advice in a one on one environment. Rufio was hyper reactive and stubborn, his fearfulness and aggression were huge concerns. I watched countless videos and bought multiple training books but nothing seemed to do more than scratch the surface of issues. Through UNA I have learned to be better able to understand, teach and communicate with Rufio. Shaina has so greatly helped build not only my dog’s confidence but also my own when it comes to dog training. Highly recommended Up N Atom!

I seriously can't recommend Shaina enough. I adopted a 2.5 year old shelter dog named Ziggy in January of this year, and quickly noticed some serious leash pulling, lack of obedience, fearfulness, and some reactivity. Signing Ziggy up for the day training program was a life saver! I knew straight away from the consultation that Shaina knew what she was doing when she could easily guide him into a crate when I had been struggling for months to do the same. The day training program was AMAZING in that not only does she work on obedience, but also exposes the dogs to new environments on lots of fun outings, exercises them, and socializes the dogs safely and responsibly. Within the 4 week program, Ziggy excelled in leash walking (no pulling!!), name recognition, starting understanding recall, and started to be less fearful in new situations! Shaina also made sure to prioritize my concerns about reactivity, by giving Ziggy opportunities to be near other dogs comfortably, and by teaching me new tips and tricks to manage/avoid reactions when we're out. (We can finally walk by other dogs on a narrow trail WITHOUT reactions!!) Being a first time dog owner, the day training program was an amazing way to get a start on Ziggy's obedience. I am so so happy with everything Shaina has been able to do for him. I really don't know where we'd be without Shaina's help (probably overwhelmed to the max with Ziggy acting like a maniac outside). I'm so happy with Ziggy's progress in the day training program that he will be continuing on with the intermediate program in June! If you've been thinking about getting professional training for your pup, this is the best place to do it! Here's some pics of my happy and confident boy at his day training!
