Our Brittany has been here a few times for boarding, sandy and her team take great care of the dogs and you can tell they enjoy what they do. She comes home less stressed than any other boarding facility we have used and they keep their Facebook updated daily with photos of the dogs which is super comforting to see her having fun.

We boarded our Aussiedoodle and Goldendoodle for a week and are very happy with the experience. Both dogs came home happy and healthy! Seeing their smiling faces everyday on Facebook while we were away allowed us to relax a bit more. Also, the cost to board was right in line with other facilities but offered more human interaction and supervision due to fewer dogs. Highly recommend!

Took my 1 year old Akita, Smokey, to SMDT for a 1 week training course. Being a large breed he needed some basic obedience and manners. We got daily photos on FB and he not only learned a bunch but had a great time! He also had some pretty intense separation anxiety before he left for training and to my amazement he is more calm and confident at home and less reactive to other dogs on walks. I would definitely recomment SMDT!
Sent our 6 month old puppy Jett to 2 weeks of board and training with Sandy and her team and he came back a new dog. Still a puppy of course, but learned to sit, stay, lay down, come, touch, place. Couldn’t be more happy with the training he received. Thanks SMDT!!

We took our 10 month old English Cream Golden Retriever (Atlas) to South Metro Dog Training he spent the week in their board and train program with Sandy and her team. Atlas has been home now for several days and we have notice tremendous improvement in behavior, listening, and general basic manners skill set, such as, sit, stay, wait, come, leave it, etc. a significant difference from when we dropped him off. I also wanted to mention the quality of care they give at SMDT. They post pictures on their Facebook page everyday of the dogs and you can tell in every picture that all the dogs are having so much fun. Not only that but they are very attentive to your dog and are quick to get ahold of you the second there is any potential sign for concern. All in all our experience with SMDT was incredible. We will never board anywhere else again and I would highly recommend their Board and Train program to any dog! Attached are some of the pictures they posted in their Facebook during his stay :)
