A Changed Puppy We recently finished 15 days of “Lodge and Learn†at Smart Dogs. We are first time dog owners and needed some help with our 10 week old Ozark Mountain Dog, Yogi. He was nipping and biting, chewing on my rugs, the kitchen table, etc. He wouldn’t walk on his leash, wouldn’t come when we called him, and would not sleep in his crate and would have accidents in the crate. On his first night home he walked on his leash through our entire neighborhood with out any problems at all AND he slept in his crate AL... read more
Rescued our rescue! Our rescue, Dante, was 90% wonderful but 10% impossible. He barked at everything & nothing, had severe anxiety and lacked doggy manners. We worked with a trainer in our home, but hectic work schedules created problems with implementation and consistency leaving us all frustrated. We were at the point of deciding whether or not Dante would be better suited with another family. The Smart Dogs 15-day Lodge & Learn program was our savior. Kristy & Ian have created a doggy palace in their home! While it looks ... read more
The BEST!! Our dog Bailey had the best time playing with Ian, Kristy, and the other dogs at their house. The have a huge backyard with an obstacle course, so we felt bad bringing Bailey back to our city loft! I cannot say enough good things about Kristy and Ian. Ian went on runs with Bailey, which was great! And when she came home she had a few good habits that we did not teach her, such as not jumping on people and eating her full meal in her crate. And we did not do the board and train, so this was a pleasant surprise! I h... read more
Thank you so much!!! We have two dogs, one 8 month puppy lab/golden mix and one very spoiled 7 year old pek/pug mix. We also also have three small children, so training our dogs to be good was very important. After dealing with our oldest dog snapping at our daughter and the puppy eating off my babies highchair, I realized I was in over my head and needed help.We called on Ian and Kristy after MANY positive reviews to help us with our puppy; little did we know they could also help us with our very aggressive older dog (befor... read more
Smart AND good dogs:-) Kristy and Ian, Thank you, thank you, thank you! When we brought Sophie and Rex to you for a Lodge and Learn we were really desperate. Our dogs behavior was causing so much stress in our household! I could not believe they were the same dogs when we picked them up. Your expertise in modifying dog behavior truly is amazing and we are forever thankful to both of you for all the hard work you put into Sophie and Rex. We have implemented the things that you taught them (and us) into our daily routine and t... read more
So thankful for Ian and Kristy! We are so thankful for Ian and Kristy! It is so relieving to know that our dog is treated as part of their family when we are away. We recently did the lodge and learn while we were out of town. They worked on her separation anxiety and leash walking. When we picked Bailey up, it was amazing! It is a great experience to go on walks now, and she also learned to run on the treadmill and alongside a bike. Ian and Kristy are the best and I highly recommend to anyone in need of a dogsitter or train... read more
We Couldn't Believe It! We Couldnât Believe it!! We met Kristy and Ian at an outdoor event in Chicago when we were in town visiting our in-laws. We are from Arizona and flew to Chicago for our anniversary. We had two unruly dogs named Twix and Ivy. They are five and seven years old so it never occurred to us that they were able to be trained at this point. We feared it may have been too late. We found out that Smart Dogs is based out of Chicago and Florida , but will travel anywhere to train dogs. We felt so at ease when w... read more
Great Experience! Being 130 pounds at 10 months old, my mastiff puppy Arnold could look pretty threatening. He would become very protective of the house when we had visitors, and would bark and growl at people when they were in the house. People didn’t want to come into our house because they were scared of Arnold. After he bit someone, I knew I needed help, so I called Smart Dogs. I have to say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made! I am now completely comfortable inviting people into my house. Instead of barking a... read more
They saved our puppy! When we first adopted Cody, we had pictured many different things. Never once, however, did we envision the issues that we experienced. The biggest and worst one had to be the fact that our adorable new puppy had no issue whatsoever urinating in the house and even in his crate—and then laying in it. This occurred several times a day! We were giving him baths almost daily. It was horrible. While I hate to admit it, we actually considered bringing Cody back to the shelter, even though my family and I we... read more
