Smart K9 Training

We were concerned that taking Nora to a trainer would take away her playful and goofy personality. However, we decided she needed to learn to stop barking at our customers and it was important for her to self-soothe in the evenings. Her behavior was impulsive prior to Smart K9 Training. Trainer Gen worked wonders in only three weeks of board and training. Nora is now a happier, confident, and relaxed dog. This results in us being able to take her with us wherever we go. She has quit barking at our customers and, at home, our cats don't need to be on guard constantly. The difference is remarkable! We are really thankful for Gen and Smart K9 Training and would highly recommend them for any dogs and their owners. We recently left on vacation and appreciated knowing Nora would be in good hands and that her training wouldn't be compromised. We love seeing updates of her on the Smart K9 Instagram too!

One of the best choices I've made as a pet owner. Even before going to smartK9 I would consider my dog well trained compared to the norm, but he had some dog reactivity problems that I could not figure out on my own. Did private lessons and we put a plan in place to overcome the issues we had. They don't claim to magically "fix" you dog and truly care about the training process and really teach you how to communicate with your dog correctly.

We had a great and very helpful experience with Smart K9 Training. Bode, our standard goldendoodle puppy could be the sweetest, most loving and smart puppy one minute and the next he turned into wild piranha doodle. My hands and arms had bite marks and scratches and my pants had holes where he would attack when he'd get the zoomies day and night. This was much more than normal puppy biting. At our first training session at Smart K9, I was bleeding from his bite and Emilee professionally corrected him and he was a better puppy from day one training. We completed three weeks at Smart K9 and it was money well spent for Bode's training and for the training I received as well. I know I would of been back in months for serious correction had I not done this puppy training plan. They are pros at Smart K9, love dogs and make training fun and rewarding. Bode loves going there.

Buddy is a 1 year old a high energy English Shephard who struggled with self control and started demonstrating fearfulness and reactivity towards strangers. We did the 4 week board and train program and have been thrilled with the changes it has made. They laid the foundation for him and taught us how to communicate and work with him at home. Things have improved immensely, and I couldn't recommend them more!
