About Level Up Dog Sports

A training facility in Mechanicsville

Level Up Dog Sports describes itself as a dog training facility minutes from downtown Richmond, with its main building at 8438 Old Richfood Rd in Mechanicsville and an annex at 8175 Mechanicsville Turnpike. Its focus is teaching dogs the skills they need to behave, tackling nuisance behaviors and giving owners the tools to keep a well-behaved dog.

Method

The facility uses a reward-based system, on the view that reward-based training both encourages the dog to learn and builds a stronger bond between dog and owner.

Classes and services

The site lists manners training, agility training with a class progression, other dog sports, group classes, private lessons, a day school, online classes, and seminars and workshops, with a published class schedule and online registration.
