About the Trainer

Welcome to Two Paws Up Dog Training! They believe in teaching the dog versus correcting the dog, emphasizing that outdated, aversive, and punishment-based techniques do more harm than good to both the dog and the relationship. They focus on teaching dogs how to behave in a household setting, including potty training, leash walking, and not rushing out the door.

Their training is family-friendly, allowing the entire family to bond with and train the dog. Their team consists of experienced professionals in dog body language and behavior, distinguishing between general training and addressing behavior challenges.

They offer group classes, private lessons, and drop-off training options. They operate from a 26,000 sqft air-conditioned facility with a 1/2 acre fenced outdoor training area. They also provide in-home lessons across Lake County, IL. Additionally, they offer ring rentals for agility.
