We have used Smart Paws for training in the past with great success! Last week my husky rolled in something truly rancid. Thank you guys for de funking her on such short notice! You don't know how much we appreciate it. She came back smelling sweet and smiling.

Joey is a miracle worker...dare I say...the dog whisperer... Very compassionate, professional and reasonably priced. Will be having him train and/or board our next 2 pups also.

As someone who has never had to board our dog, we were concerned about where to board our sheltie when we decided to take a family cruise as our dog is very skittish. After trying a couple days of daycare at another place further away, we got concerned that he wouldn't do well. After finding out about Smart Paws through a local advertising magazine, we decided to give them a call. After talking to one of the owners on the phone, she eased our fears and recommended bringing our dog by to check it out. We toured the facility and we were impressed by how clean the kennel area was. After the tour, we decided to use them to board our sheltie. During our cruise we didn't have an internet package so I can't comment on daily updates but when we went to pick up our dog, we were truly impressed how clean and groomed he looked. He was happy to see us and looked like he had been well cared for. I'd definitely use Smart Paws again and recommend them for any of your boarding needs and also their grooming services. Thank you for caring for our sheltie!
We got our handsome boy from these lovely people. We love him to bits. Thank you for Tyson.
Fantastic experience. Very clean and friendly. Adopted a great Rottweiler.
