UpSwing is evolving! This fall, we're putting a bigger focus on thoughtful, individualized lodging, including our up and coming Private Premium Lodging Room, while expanding virtual training and behavior support, outdoor classes, and focused weekend workshops.
We're also introducing the F.A.I.R. framework, bringing together the philosophy that has always guided our work: Function, Agency, Individuality, and Realistic.
More details coming soon!
UpSwing Canine Behavioral Services provides private, reward-based behavior consulting and training in your home, along with canine lodging and immersive Lodge & Learn programs at our Armstrong County property, Fetch & Fable.
No two dogs are the same, and no two families are the same. Every consultation, training session, and treatment plan is thoughtfully tailored to your dog's individual needs, personality, learning history, and the goals you have for life together.
Whether you're welcoming a new puppy, building everyday life skills, strengthening communication, or helping your dog grow in confidence, we focus on creating lasting, meaningful learning through thoughtful, reward-based methods that support both dogs and the people who love them.
Led by dual-certified Canine Behavior Consultant Rachel McMichael, UpSwing combines current behavioral science, ongoing professional education, and compassionate, evidence-based practices to help dogs and their families succeed together. Dogs are always learning. Our job is to make sure they're learning the right things while giving you the knowledge and confidence to guide them every step of the way.
Please Note
At this time, we are not accepting new aggression cases or dogs with a history of biting humans or other animals.
