Default Up thrust or Down thrust?

I have a trainer plane that if you give it any more than ¼ throttle it will go up in a hard 45 degree angle.
I realize that a trainer will rise with more throttle BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE DOES!
Do I need to put some up thrust or down thrust in the engine mount?
Also I am not sure what direction you need to get the thrust right, is down thrust when the front of the engine is higher than the back of the engine?
