Underworld Kennels & Dog Training

We sent our Aussie, Zuko, to Underworld Kennels for a 2-week board and train with Raelene—and honestly, it was the best decision we could’ve made. Zuko had been dealing with anxiety around people and unfamiliar environments, constantly barking and on edge. We had tried other training before, but it never truly clicked for him. Raelene came out for a free consult and within minutes we knew she understood what Zuko needed. Her calm, confident approach and deep knowledge of dog behavior stood out immediately. Throughout the entire training, she kept us in the loop with pictures, videos, and updates. Zuko wasn’t just kenneled—he was living, learning, and growing. He went to stores, parks, trails—exposed to real-world scenarios that built his confidence. When he came home, it was like a weight had been lifted off him. He’s no longer anxious or reactive around people, inside or outside our home. He’s confident, grounded, and more in tune with his surroundings. His leash manners are flawless, his heel is solid, and his off-leash recall is spot on. He’s using his nose more, making better decisions on his own, and just overall feels like a more balanced, happy dog. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets dogs and wants your dog to succeed in the real world—not just perform in a training room—do yourself a favor and go with Raelene. She trains dogs and owners the right way, the first time.

A True Dog Whisperer – More Than Just a Trainer! My husband and I moved to Utah, we were in desperate need of a skilled dog trainer—luckily that’s when we found Raelene Penman. What a blessing that turned out to be! Ray has now trained all three of our beloved fur babies, our two boys and most recently, our newest addition, Miss Chanel, a beautiful blue merle French Bulldog. Chanel came back to us well-trained, well-behaved, and honestly, better than ever. Her confidence, obedience, and overall demeanor were transformed in just a short time with Ray. But Raelene is so much more than just a dog trainer—she’s become part of our family. The love and care she gives our dogs is genuine, and it shows in how much they adore her. Anyone lucky enough to meet Ray and experience her magic is truly fortunate. Her knowledge, experience, and deep compassion for animals make her one of a kind. We are beyond grateful for everything she’s done for our pups and for becoming such a special part of our lives. Thank you, Ray, for loving our fur babies like your own! I tried to add videos if Chanel being trained, so you can see how obedient she is… well either you can’t post videos, or I just do not know how .. These are my 3 babies , who have all been trained by Raelene Penman ❤️

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!

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.

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.
