Have a question about our classes?

“Investing in training has been so worth it!”
The team at Underdogs have been so patient with us humans learning how to better understand our rescue pup and we are so grateful for not only the support we receive in class, but also for the extra check-ins we have received beyond our weekly class. Investing in training has been so worth it. Our pup loves the team at Underdogs as much as we do, and we could not recommend them enough. Thank you Jill, Richie, and Nick for everything you do!
