Invitation… Not invasion

Invitation… Not invasion +

Your dog should be “INVITED” into your world, not “INVADE” your world!

Your dog should bring you joy, and not frustration. If there is frustration between you and your dog, then there is a breakdown in your communication with your dog. I promise you, your dog is not “trying to cause you stress”.

But stress comes from miscommunication, or a lack of understanding of why your dog is behaving in specific way.

Why I do this…

When I was 12 years old, my grandfather asked me, “If you could, what type of business would you start?” Little did I know, that question would put me on a path to establish a passion and my future business!

My grandfather helped me purchase my very own AKC registered Chocolate Labs, Chino and Katie!
My fascination to better understand how dogs think, and how they communicate, drove me to learn all that I could from a very young age.

The countless hours of research, hands on experiences with thousands of dogs, and training from Cesar Millan AKA “The Dog Whisperer”, the “Dog Daddy”, and many other trainers have shaped the style of my training . What started as a hobby, helping out my friends and family, has now turned into a passion. My desire is to help dog owners understand to live in the moment with their dogs, and bring back the joy of “WHY” they brought a dog into their life.

~What people are saying about their experience~

  • We adopted a rescue pup named Honey Bear. We noticed immediately she was very domineering and aggressive (growling/biting). We promised her our home was her forever home, but desperately needed help. Then came Trey of Tune-up K9 Academy. All four of our rescue pups were barking, one biting when Trey entered our home. Within minutes Trey had all four pups under control two relaxing on the couch and two lying down in front of him including Honey Bear! It was miraculous, almost unbelievable. He accomplished this with a very soft, calm, relaxed yet commanding approach. Honey Bear listened, trusted and seemed to want Trey to be the leader of the pack.

  • "Tune-Up Pup K9 Academy are professional, easy to work with, and provide excellent help in training dogs. As a beginner with a new, energetic puppy they taught me how to turn things from chaos to control in a few sessions. Now, we are building on that foundation and my puppy is turning into an amazing dog!

  • "I am so grateful I connected with Trey at Tune-Up Pup. My almost-three-year-old dog isn't a 'bad' dog - but she doesn't respond well to basic commands, pulls too much on the leash, and can be rather pushy. After a week with Trey, she's a whole new girl (something two dog trainers before him could not accomplish). Our walks are calm, she listens, and she is way more enjoyable to have around. If you do nothing else in your training journey but call Trey, you will not be disappointed"
