Beau and Me It was love at first sight when I first met Beau, a four year old American Staffordshire, Being a long time Cesar Millan fan, and never an alpha dog owner before, I knew that the breed can be determined , even though Beau first appears to be too submissive, and needs an assertive pack leader. I deliberately searched for a trainer who could help me be the kind of leader Beau needed, who had the same beliefs which I held, that dogs need exercise, discipline and a job as an important part of being a happy member of ... read more

Highly recommend!! We have 9 month old Maltese puppy, Angel. I began working with Kristy individually and Angel made great progress with the basics. However, she has a stubborn puppy streak. She became out of control barking at everything and mouthing everyone with her teeth and I just could not seem to get this under control. Kristy mentioned the Lodge & Learn training and how this behavior could be worked on with some specific training in these areas. We decided this was the direction to take. Angel came back a completely ... read more

Smart Dogs saved us! Smart Dogs Training and Boarding is fantastic! We have a 120 pound Irish Wolfhound named Lily who was nearly impossible to walk. Now, not only can I walk her easily, so can my 10 year old daughter! After a board and train at Smart Dogs, Lily is a pleasure to have around rather than a pain. She even learned some tricks! The best part is that now when we go out of town we have peace of mind knowing that Lily will be in a home environment, getting lots of attention, and playing with just a couple other dogs... read more

Kristy and Ian are truly pros! I can’t say enough about how helpful Smart Dogs Training has been to us with our Golden Doodle, Gordon. After only 20 minutes of instruction, they had Gordon walking right by my side rather than pulling so hard on his leash. One of our biggest concerns was when Gordon and our neighbors’ dogs would all be outside at the same time. Although we do have a fenced yard, Gordon would be running back and forth at the fence barking nonstop and we did not know how to get him in control. Kristy showed... read more

My Stress is Gone!!! I can’t say enough good things about Smart Dogs!!!!! I am a first time dog owner with a 1 ½ year old Westie (we have owned him for one year). He looks very cute, but did not act so cute, and trying to figure out how to care for this very “alpha” dog was adding a HUGE amount of stress to my life!!! I was on the edge, and was basically ready to give him to the westie shelter because I didn’t know what else to do. When we got him at 6 months old we immediately took the beginner and intermediate lev... read more

Excellent Trainers! My many thanks to Smart Dogs (Kristy & Ian) for their wonderful accomplishment of training my headstrong puppy, Bob. Prior to training with Smart Dogs, I almost thought I’d have to give up Bob because it was difficult for me to train him due to my arthritis and emphysema. After two weeks with Kristy and Ian, Bob is now a well-behaved, happy dog. Kristy and Ian are professional, dedicated and are truly gifted trainers. And I am thrilled with the solid foundation of good obedience they provided for Bob an... read more

The Best Dog Training These guys are awesome! I have 3 large dogs and 3 small children… they helped me get the dogs under control. I haven't been able to walk one of my dogs for 9 years and now thanks to them, I can. They don’t pull or fight me, they stay by my side and we actually enjoy taking them to the park now. Their training is fast and you can see improvement right away. They were different dogs after the first session. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a dog that needs ANY behavior corrected. From walk... read more

Great results Ian & Kristy are the best. I had my 21/2 year old beagle/Aussie mix Jasper with them for 12 days of board & train. I had worked with Ian & Kristy when Jasper was a pup but was in need of some major help. Jasper, had become a very fearful dog. His fears caused him to be aggressive on the leash towards other dogs and people. I could not let anyone in the house with the dog off the leash because he would bark and charge at them. Jasper, is like a new dog. He listens, sits, stays heals and when the doorbell rings w... read more

LIFE CHANGING!!!!!!! Our home was full of stress and chaos for months with our 2 pups, Lila and Petey. They are sweet dogs but they would jump on people coming in the door, potty in the house and taking them for a walk was a complete nightmare. Due to not being able to walk them, they would not get enough exercise which then caused them to chew and destroy everything in the house. Smart Dogs has completely changed our lives in just a few days. Our house is now an enjoyable place to live. Lila and Petey seem quiet and content... read more
