"We're on a mission from Dog."

ACTUAL UP DOG MISSION STATEMENT

Up Dog Training, LLC, was created and is run by certified dog trainers Theresa Cure and Carl Delegato with the aspiration of becoming valued interpreters, helping both humans and canines better understand each other. Our goal as an entity is to reduce the number of family dogs unnecessarily euthanized or re-homed due to poor human-dog communication.

Here at Up Dog, we strive to use the most up-to-date, scientific, and effective methods available to improve the aforementioned dog-human bond. These methods are based upon the primary use of positive reinforcement in our teachings. Positive reinforcement is not only the most scientifically proven technique, it is also the most humane. As a result, the quality of life for both person and pet improves, creating a more harmonious coexistence.

Carl Delegato is an ABC Certified dog trainer, who was nerdy enough to graduate with honors.  He studies behavior in both dogs, who are descended from the wolf, and humans, who are descended from the ape (as evidenced in the picture above). He focuses on bringing the differences in communication and social structure between these two species together in harmony.  His dog house is in Farmersville, Ohio.

 
Theresa Cure is an ABC certified dog trainer whose experience, professionalism, and affinity for everything dog brings much to each training session.  She is committed to a lifelong pursuit of expanding her knowledge base, to enhance  her already doggone good skills as a trainer. Her pack resides in Germantown, Ohio.
