Beyond Obedience: Clear Communication for You and Your Dog
Professional dog training is more than just fixing behaviors—it’s about enhancing the bond between you and your companion. At Upshot Kennels & Training, Chantel Hoffman offers a warm, grounded approach to coaching puppies through advanced obedience. From private sessions and group classes to immersive board and train programs, we focus on real-life results that empower you to lead with confidence.
Private Training Designed for Your Life
No two dogs are the same. Chantel provides one-on-one coaching in your home or real-world environments to help you understand your dog’s needs and build a reliable, lasting relationship. Our programs focus on practical obedience that works in your everyday life.
Customized Programs
We build a training plan specifically for your dog's personality and your household's unique training goals.
Real-World Results
Training happens where you need it most—at home, on walks, or at the park where distractions are real.
Expert Hands-On Coaching
Chantel works directly with you, providing the tools and techniques to ensure you can lead your dog with confidence.
Confidence and Control in Every Environment
Our group obedience classes are designed to build real-world reliability. Whether you're starting with a new puppy or refining advanced skills, Chantel provides hands-on coaching that focuses on neutral socialization, sustained focus, and clear communication in the presence of distractions.
The Immersion Program: Board & Train
For owners who want to fast-track their dog's training with a professional foundation. Your dog stays in a structured environment where every movement is an opportunity for learning. We handle the initial, intensive training phase and then coach you on maintaining that same clarity and leadership at home. It is a comprehensive reset designed to bridge the gap between sessions and the real world.
