Meet the people behind the pack
UnderDog Academy helps dogs and their people move forward through practical, compassionate training for aggression, reactivity, anxiety, and everyday life.
Sasha, the original UnderDog.
Where it began
When Chris adopted Sasha, she was struggling with serious aggression. Seven trainers told him she could not be helped and that putting her down was the only option.
Chris refused to give up. After finally finding someone willing to work with them, Sasha began to change—and Chris discovered the purpose that would become UnderDog Academy.
Today, Sasha is the face of the company, the dog in the logo, and proof that a difficult chapter does not have to be the end of a dog’s story.

What guides our work
Every training plan is shaped around the dog, the household, and the life they need to share.
We meet every dog and person without judgment and build from where they are today.
Training is designed to work in real homes, on real walks, and through real challenges.
Difficult behaviour is part of the story—not the end of it.
