Very happy with our experience and results with the board and training! Our dog had a previous history with bites, being overprotective, and leash pulling but after his lessons and training he had truly become a much more confident and well behaved dog. The workers there are amazing our trainer Jason was very helpful and taught us a lot. Can’t wait to return for group lessons :)

We were skeptical to pull the trigger at first because of the price, but I am glad that we did. Our trainer was Daniel and he was great! Our pup is still learning but in the week that he was at SMS, he has shown a lot of progress with commands and listening. Thank you, Daniel!
Very knowledgeable, attentive and results focused.
We had an amazing experience with sit means sit. We were very happy with every step of the process and especially the end results

My dog learned how to walk better. His aggressiveness was not worked on here. I was told all the time he's a good boy. Ha! I love him but he is still aggressive. I asked if I should leave toys so he can learn drop it leave it. He has nit. He still doesn't let go of items. He still growls snaps and bites. The first day he can home from his training he tried to bite me the day I took him back for 1st evaluation and time with a trainer he tried to bite my hand on the way home when I tried to grab my charger from him. . I don't beleive this place helps with aggression at all. I was so disappointed I never even brought him to group training. I love my frank but this place was not for his issues. If your dog gets aggressive take him someone else. They basicaly showcase their well trained on a podium dogs and show hoe perfect they are and what yours can possibly due. I would say sure after 10 drop offs and 30k later. Nice people treat frank very well though. And I appreciate that.
