Imagine handing your father-in-law the leash to a massive 150-pound mastiff who’s built like a tank and guards his turf with fierce suspicion.

Client Testimonial
Marigrace and the whole team at Upstate Canine are incredibly good at what they do, and passionate about it, too!
We brought our 2 year old pit bull Gonzo for a 3 week board and train to help get us all on the same communication path with our sweet and silly boy. He would get over-excited about everything and everyone he met, and we needed help to collectively as a whole family communicate clear expectations and calm behavior from Gonzo.
We missed him so much during boarding, but completely trusted them after a couple of very in-depth conversations with Marigrace, along with support from the rest of the team. We learned so much about our boy and the breed (our second pit bull pup). The very practical knowledge that she passed over to us was SO helpful in truly understanding Gonzo, what he did, and why. And that made all the difference in our relationship with our puppy dog. Bringing him home, he was so well-mannered and in tune with us. We’re so impressed with the progress they made with him!
