Dog Sitting in Deweyville

Underworld Kennels helped me with puppy training with my German Shepherd so when I learned that I needed a major back surgery and would be unable to care for my GS, I immediately thought of Rae and Tilly. I did not want to simply "kennel" her. There were some behaviors I hadn't been able to get on top of that needed a professional trainer. Shortly before surgery, my husband also took turn for the worse and was placed in hospice. I don't want to go into too much detail, but when I needed help, Rae and Tilly were there. When I was able to pick up my dog again, I was confident that I could bring her home without worrying whether I could handle her while I was still healing from my surgery. Tilly spent the time to explain what she had worked on with Dodee, kept me updated with photos and messages, and worked with me to make sure I was able carry on with her training. My family was blown away when they came to visit and instead of a hyper, out of control dog, she was well behaved and enjoyable to have around. I am so impressed with both the level of training my dog received but also the compassion and caring that was shown to me as I went through the hardest time of my life. I have a dog I now absolutely love and I feel like I have an extended family because of the caring and compassion they gave me.

Before Cinnamon went to training with Tilly we were ready to give up. We tried everything and nothing worked so decided to try the 2 week training as a last resort. She came back a new dog! She listens to commands, is playful and no accidents! Thank you so much for all you have done - now we can enjoy her. She thinks she is a lap dog though. 😉

A few months ago, my family adopted a little Shih-Poo, Coco, from the shelter. At the initial meet-and-greet, he was a perfect fit. However, a few weeks after we brought him home, he began showing some challenging behaviors: growling, barking, jumping up for attention, and occasionally nipping. With strangers, he was especially reactive and would jump on them, tug on their clothing, and even nip them. We thought grooming might help, but he became so anxious he would lunge and bite at the groomers. One groomer even suggested we consider putting him down. After some consideration, we decided to invest in professional training. From the very first session with Tilly, we knew we had made the right decision. Her expertise and confidence put us at ease, and she answered all our questions. Week by week, we saw Coco’s behavior improve. Tilly sent us video updates and photos, showing the progress he was making. She went above and beyond, providing CBD oil, adjusting his diet, buying him sweaters, and even getting him groomed! We knew we were in good hands, but we had no idea she’d be this amazing! Today, Coco is back home, and he’s like a different dog! We feel so much more confident taking him out in public and have already seen a huge improvement in his behavior. He’s overcome years of habits in just a few weeks, and best of all, we have ongoing support and all the tools we need to help him continue progressing! If you feel like your dog’s behavior is beyond help, I can’t recommend UKDT enough. Their expertise, patience, and genuine care make all the difference. The cost is definitely worth it!

I dropped my 15 week old lab puppy off for a two week board and train and it was well worth the time! Tilly is a great trainer and set us up to achieve at home! He came back with much better manners and socialization, walks on a leash like a champ, and reeeeally improved on his kennel training. Tilly provided updates every couple of days and has been really supportive after he has come home by answering questions and giving advice. Would 100% recommend Underworld.

Best training experience so far. Tilly was fantastic, and took amazing care of our dog. He was with her for two weeks, and he came back to us a noticeably different dog - for the better. Tilly truly set him up for success; introducing him to new environments and challenges, and worked with us to address the things we were seeing. We felt very confident in the safety of our dog the whole time. At the end of the two weeks, Tilly trained my husband and I, and gave us new and better tools to continue the work with our dog. Could not recommend Tilly and UWK enough. Thank you, Tilly!

Raelene did an amazing job taking care of my lab during the two week board and train program. She gave updates of his training, nutritional advice, and even took care of a medical need he had while he was there with no issue at all. He was able to socialize with new people and dogs. We met in public on the last day of training, and she gave me hands on training and answered all of my questions. She really helped set him up for a better future.

I had a really great experience with sending my dog Milo to puppy boot camp with Raelene! Milo is a smaller dog and he is quite scared of his surroundings including people and other animals. Before sending him off Milo couldn’t go outside or be around anyone or any animal without tucking his tail and shaking. At the end of the two weeks Milo was able to walk around a public area with his tail wagging! Allowing people to hold him. This has been such a great experience and Raelene has even been helping me keep up with Milo after the fact which is amazing! 10/10 recommend!

Rae and Tilly are both amazing! We live in Southern Utah and Tilly was willing to meet us so we could do the board & train for our German Shepherd - we are very grateful, couldn’t be happier. They provided frequent updates, along with pictures and videos, of the progress. When we picked our dog up we got thorough instructions and guidance on how to continue the training, I’d recommend UKDT to anyone!

Dropped our 3.5 month old Dogo Argentino 2 weeks ago for the Board and Train program. Tilly Thain from Underworld had the task of caring for and training Alta. All went really well and after taking our dog home she has performed better than expected! We can, with 100% surety recommend this establishment for training. We will continue Alta's future training with them and look forward to a life long friendship Thank you both, Rae & Tilly!

All of a sudden our new dog stated attacking our older female dog, who had been with us since she was 12 weeks old. It was a very stressful time, we could not understand nor stop it so we kept them separated and called dog trainers. One place told us it would be two weeks to even get a consultation. So we called Underworld Kennels who our neighbor recommended to us. They came to our house within two days, evaluated the situation and told us what needed to be done. Tilly, the trainer, took our 9 mo. old female dog for board and training for 14 days and when our girl came home, we had our sweet tempered girl back and trained better than the other two. We still have training to keep up on, but Tilly was worth every penny we paid for her training. Hands down, she is the best trainer who cares and loves dogs! We highly recommend this company.
