It’s more than dog training, it’s a way of life

Canine communication is a life skill that can be used anywhere in any circumstance and does not end with you and your dog.

Mission

The mission of Brighten Up Pup is to make the lives of dogs and their people happier and more fulfilled through education, mutual respect and understanding.

Philosophy

 Understanding that our dogs have been bred by humans for a specific purpose; that they are social creatures with a different language than us; and, that they are individuals with their own thoughts, personalities, motivations and needs, helps us truly bond with them. With time, patience, consistency, know-how and positive interactions, you can have the gift of a well-mannered, long-lasting member of the family.

Purpose

Brighten Up Pup wants you to have a wonderful family pet and will help you build a strong foundation for your new dog’s forever home.

Our Approach

Our relationships with our dogs and the world around us are dynamic and ever changing.  Just like our dogs, we are evolving and learning with each new experience.  Brighten Up Pup takes a “better to be proactive than reactive” approach. We help you learn how to effectively communicate and interact with your beloved canine companion and give you the tools that will last a lifetime.  The knowledge and skills you acquire will help you understand your pup’s perspective and allow you to be flexible enough in your training to handle the curve balls that life throws at us.
