Peace & Unity Pet Services (PUPS) is a dog training business based in Unity, Maine, founded in 2016, that helps dog owners build stronger, healthier bonds with their pets through compassionate, balanced training. They specialize in board and train programs, private lessons, and behavior rehabilitation for dogs with mild to severe issues like reactivity, aggression, fearfulness, leash pulling, and separation anxiety. Their signature programs include “Give Me Peace & Unity” (14-day board and train) and “Save My Dog” (behavioral rehab), both designed to restore confidence and obedience while empowering owners with lifelong support.

Owners receive written plans, video resources, mid-training sessions, and follow-up coaching. PUPS also offers pet boarding, group events like Pack Walks, and sells training equipment.
