Joe Underwood brings 25+ years of experience, including 12 years in French Ring, plus many years across other dog venues—with a passion for building unbreakable bonds between dogs and their owners.
Joe Underwood isn't just a dog trainer; he's a competitor, a breeder, and a lifelong student of canine psychology. With over 25 years of experience—and 12 years in French Ring—Joe has dedicated his life to understanding the intricate language of dogs.
His expertise isn't limited to basic obedience. Joe has raised and trained dogs for police, military, and personal protection work. He competes at the highest levels of French Ring—one of the most demanding dog sports in the world—with his dog Matrix.
This high-level background means Joe understands pressure, drive, and motivation better than the average trainer. He applies these elite concepts to everyday dogs, creating pets that are not just obedient, but confident and happy.
Underwood K9 is a small, family-owned business. We keep our program intentionally hands-on so every dog gets focused training, consistent structure, and personal attention from start to finish.
We don't believe in cookie-cutter training. Every dog is unique, but our standard for excellence remains the same.
We train for the real world, not a quiet classroom. Your dog will learn to listen around distractions, other dogs, and in public spaces.
Training is about communication. We teach you how to speak your dog's language, building a bond based on mutual respect and trust.
Real stories from real owners who have transformed their lives with their dogs.
"Highly recommend Joe with Underwood K9 to train your dogs! We have 2 Australian shepherds (full size 6f and mini 7m) that needed some additional training and we did not know where to start. One of our main concerns were the dogs barking and storming the front door when we would get a mail delivery. The female Aussie seemed the most aggressive in those situations. With the help of Joe's e-collar training program, he gave our dogs structure as well as taught them how to walk off leash. This has helped our dogs relax when new people come to our house and also when we get mail deliveries. They have learned several commands, but the most helpful one I think is the "place" command. Joe taught us how to use the commands and was very helpful and patient when we had questions. We had a few follow up training sessions after the program and our dogs continued to improve more each time. Joe is very knowledgeably and takes pride in what he does, and it shows through the training of our dogs."
