We don’t fix broken dogs. The truth is that your dog isn’t broken!
Instead, we help rebuild trust. We want dogs to feel safe. Real behavior change doesn’t come from control; it comes from connection.
At UpSwing, we’re not in the obedience business. We’re in the relationship business. Our goal isn’t perfect sits or down-stays. It’s confident dogs, peaceful homes, and lasting bonds between dogs and their people. Behavior consulting is about more than training, it’s about helping dogs feel safe, heard, and supported. When they’re free to make choices and secure enough to be themselves, real transformation can follow!
UpSwing Canine Behavioral Services offers private, one-on-one behavior services, in the comfort of your own home. Each session is tailored to your individual dog's needs and all treatment plans are carefully constructed by a credentialed and experienced professional - especially for your unique dog!
We are dedicated to helping you to actually understand and communicate effectively with your dog in a kind way. We put a heavy emphasis on building your relationship up with your dog while providing fun and enrichment during your dog's session. We help to give you the skills necessary, and most importantly, we teach you how to teach your dog. Dogs are learning every second of every day, so you need to make sure they are learning the right things!
We deal with many different kinds of behaviors from simple manners to complex anxiety, fears, reactivity and aggression. Since Rachel is a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant, she has been held to a high standard for testing, and she maintains her credentials with continuing education to assure that all methods are the most up to date. Training has evolved - we know so much more now than ever about how our dogs think and why they engage in certain behaviors.
Our canine companions have been misunderstood for far too long. Myths and archaic training tactics have been normalized and passed down, and are still evident and so prominent on social media. It is truly time for a change.
Are you ready to learn more about your dog? We can't wait to teach you!
