I created Underdog Training Club to give owners a supportive, Pack Membership-Style environment where learning doesn’t stop after one class — it grows with you.

Whether you’re starting with puppy classes, building strong pack foundations, or leveling up through our Pack-Life Training Community, our goal is to help you and your dog feel capable, connected, and proud of the team you are becoming!
