Uptown Doggy LLC

Uptown Doggy is THE dog trainer to go to. We adopted Wes, a rescue chug (chihuahua x pug) with a bit of anxiety and bad manners you might expect from a stray, like lunging, hoarding, eating expensive Apple electronics, climbing on the table, and more. We were especially concerned about some occasional snaps at our eight-year. With Maria's expertise, Wes became calm and civilized, not only in our home but also in overwhelming social situations. Maria's easygoing demeanor and clever techniques helped with every aspect of his behavior. The difference has been extraordinary. She also helped with leash training - now he walks next to us rather than pulling, and she even taught Wes how to calm himself. What's most remarkable is that her techniques are loving and gentle, which helped us bond with Wes while training him. Wes would get VERY excited every time Maria came back for another session! Finally, Maria gave us lots of supporting information so that we could continue to reinforce the training ourselves. And regarding our eight-year-old, Wes happily cuddles with him all the time now. No more lunging or snapping. Thank you, Uptown Doggy!

We have a yellow lab who is now 9 months old. He is a very big puppy and is going to be a large and powerful dog. We wanted to get training, for him and us, so he would learn to be a good dog that we could control with commands. Maria's methods are gentle and effective. We have a happy, friendly pup and we know how to communicate with him. Everyone is happy. Maria's training was life-changing for us.
