Changed girl Our dog was behaving badly around other dogs and would become aggressive. Ian worked with her on walking with other dogs and it turned her around completely. She has changed for the better. Thanks Ian!!! Barb B

Highly Recommend!!!!! I have had such a positive experience with Smart Dogs Training and Lodging. My husband and I decided to try out a trainer when we realized our two yorkies were ruling the house as well as us. We also have a baby on the way so we needed to learn the proper tools on disciplining. I researched MANY companies and spoke to many different trainers before deciding on Smart Dogs. The primary reasons for choosing Smart Dogs Training: 1. They come to your house; which is amazing because your dog(s) learns in thei... read more

Smart Dogs is THE BEST! Around our house, Ian is simply known as "The Magician". In just one training session, we saw an amazing transformation of our dog (1-yr old, rescued, Aussie mix) from a girl with a "leader of the pack" attitude to a sweet, obedient dog who is clearly happier with us humans in charge. The training methods used were positive and easy to understand and more importantly, made sense when Ian explained things from our dog's point of view. We couldn't be happier with our new (and newly trained) dog and woul... read more

I love our life with our dogs now!! We Have Trustworthy Dogs Now! We met Christy and Ian by accident (or for a reason) at the dog park one day and they were with their dogs. We couldn't believe how well-behaved they were so we asked them about it. We realized they could help us with our little Yorkie, Jack and Boston, Janie. First we did the training session at our house and then realized we just didn't have the time to follow through with the lessons between our work schedules and 4 kids. We decided to do the lodging and tr... read more

Rescued Us We love our rescue dog Lucy so much, but she was having a really difficult time adjusting to our house and her behavior was so inconsistent. She was cuddly and sweet, but then wouldn’t ever listen to anything we said. She was friendly to us, but would jump and bark at guests as soon as they walked in. We were told she could never be crated because she was older, so we never did and it resulted in her completing freaking out when we got home—barking, crying, jumping, and running around like crazy. We realized e... read more

Couldn't Be Happier!! Kristy and Ian worked wonders on our little man, Blake. We brought Blake home to our other furry baby, Bella who is 7. They were not getting along at all. Bella was agitated by Blake's "puppy" behavior and Blake was ill mannered. Blake spent 5 days at Kristy and Ian's home. We CANNOT believe the amazing change in him! Blake has settled down considerably. He listens to commands, he does not bother Bella like he used to, he FINALLY sleeps through the night...but most importantly, Blake's screaming and how... read more

My puppy is behaved! OMG! I would highly recommend Smart Dogs T/L!!! Ian is truly a "dog whisperer"..he is so great with my labradoodle puppy. Indie has learned to sit and stay, walk with manners :-), and walk on the treadmill! And the best thing was... I saw results and improvements the very day he came to train her. This was well worth the time and money!!!! Thanks SDTL!!!

Great!!!! What a difference Smart Dogs has made in the behavior of our dog, Zoey! Seriously, after only one lesson our daily walk changed from a nerve wracking, dismal obligation to a relaxing, fun activity. I know it sounds impossible, but one lesson is all it took. We were so impressed that we are now addressing other behaviors. Ian is showing my husband and me how to train Zoey to be a happy and well behaved part of our family. And Zoey is much calmer now that she understands what is expected of her. I really sense that s... read more

Thanks Jody My wife and I would like to thank the staff at Smart Dogs; most importantly Jody, for the help with our new Rottweiller puppy boy. At just over 12 weeks old at the time and only having been in our home for 3 days, he had a few issues that needed to be addressed. The education that Jody provided along with some simple easy to duplicate training lessons have allowed us to enjoy our little guy that much more since the visit. By sessions end, the little guy was doing the stairs on his own which he was extremely reluc... read more
