We brought our little dog, Brody to Mary and Brad for both Boarding and Training. Mary did an amazing job training Brody. She is professional, attentive and follows through. We can clearly see that Mary is experienced. We also appreciate Mary sharing her knowledge with us and training us to help Brody with many of the skills. Brody boarded with Brad. Brad is nurturing, patient and caring, He helped Brody acclimate to the new environment and with Brody's social skills. We enjoyed watching the videos of all the different places Brody got to experience and the progression of his training each day, It was a pleasant experience for all of us. We cannot Thank Mary and Brad enough for all they did for our little Brody who helped master many of his skills and for all the care he received. Mary and Brad are very thoughtful and considerate.

We were very fortunate to have Mary/SMP Pets house sit for us for 2 weeks to care for our dog and 2 cats. Mary is very personable, thoughtful, attentive to details, and proactive. She took very good care of our babies and our household needs. We got daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us great comfort while being away for so long. We came back to a happy and clean home. Another benefit was booking a couple of SMP Pets doggie daycare experiences for socializing with other dogs. We also greatly appreciated her professional observations as a dog trainer.

SMP Pets, with they're highly effective training methods, changed the lives of my two Chihuahuas. Prince, my first Chihuahua had separation anxiety where I could not leave him alone for one minute. Aurora, my second Chihuahua, has a long bite history with her previous owners. But they both flourished under the care of SMP Pets. They were rehabbed and trained to stay home alone now for up to 3 hours without any more problems. And Aurora, who's bite history originated with fear, is a less scared and more confident dog now and allows me to pet her more now than before. I was taught to builds trust with the pups which is very important to their retraining. In addition, they were both exposed to socializing with other dogs, people and visiting new and different places under careful supervision. Moreover, they gave me training afterwards on how to continue the pups new and improved behavior. I must say implementing their training techniques at home on my own has been quite effective. Thanks to them, b me and my pups are less stressed and happier now both at home and when we are out and about. My friend was even impressed when she came over that the pups were not barking when she came in which before was absolutely impossible. SMP Pets very consciously customized the rehabilitation and training to each dog's needs and they worked with me to continue the dogs' good behavior which is why I believe the training was so effective with them and most importantly, my pups even had a blast with their trainers, Brad and Theresa, for the 3 weeks they spent with them and they love them now. It was definitely worth it to have them trained and rehabbed by SMP Pets. What they tell you is that you must trust the process because if you do, amazing changes will happen for your dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their dogs to be trained or rehabbed. I am so satisfied with the results I've seen in my pups. They are happier, more joyful dogs now which is more than I could ever ask. This company is definitely worth the time and the money.

If you’re like us and seem to only adopt the dogs that are sweet snugglers, and great listeners at home with their faves but lil punks when meeting other dogs, so to avoid the embarrassment you just cross the street and kiss long walks on the beach goodbye then you need SMP Paws. For the first time all 3 of our rescue pups are the good dogs! Looking unamused at the drama dogs and walking away with disinterest. No more crossing the street to avoid friendly encounters, no more hoping they’ll behave. SMP Paws helped us understand how to really be there for our pups and this won’t make sense until you experience it yourself but, we trust our dogs now. Every pup comes with a unique set of fears, SMP in the most gentle way encourage the pups to face their individual fears. We have a very busy life and home. They helped us as a family to understand what our pups need from us in heightened situations. It feels so, so good to move past a frustrating ‘bad dog’ perception to an ‘I got this’ and ‘I got you pup’ place. Brad & Theresa, we’re so grateful!
