There are some places you take your dog for training, and then there are places that become part of your life. Smartydog is that place for us. Six years ago, we walked through the doors with my first rescue, Luna. At the time, I never could have imagined how much Smartydog would become a part of our lives. Today, we have three Smartydogs, and I honestly can't imagine our journey with them without this amazing community. We've watched our puppies grow from unruly little handfuls into happy, confident, well-behaved dogs. But even more importantly, we've learned how to understand them, communicate with them, and build stronger relationships with them. Smartydog has taught us that training isn't just about having an obedient dog—it's about creating a partnership and having fun together. We absolutely love our weekly 5C class, and the Adventurescape has become one of our favorite things to do. We've enjoyed so many classes, activities, and adventures over the years, and there's always something new to learn. What makes Smartydog truly special, though, is the people. The instructors genuinely care about the dogs and the people who bring them. They celebrate the successes, help us through the challenges, and create a community that makes you want to keep coming back. Six years, three dogs, countless classes, and so many memories later, Smartydog has become much more than a training facility to us. It has helped shape the dogs we have today and the relationships we have with them. If you're thinking about training your dog, don't wait until you have a "problem" to fix. Give yourself and your dog the gift of learning together. I can't recommend Smartydog highly enough. ❤️🐶🐾

Kind of surprised here. I have tried repeatedly to get in touch with them for obedience training for my rescue pup. No response in over 2 weeks.

Have been training with Marty and Lorrie for over 2 years. Both I and my dogs love them both and can't wait to go "play" at school.

I have used Martha’s business to help me train two different breeds of dogs beginning in 2002. A Mini Schnauzer and a Havanese. I have lost my MS to canine cancer. My Havi is now 12 1/2. I get remarks constantly as to how well trained she is. Smarty Dog gave me the tools, but I am the one who implemented them and still do. Thank You, Martha

Sounded nice but owner was unable to offer private lessons so kinda useless if you have a dog that is too excites me around other dogs to work with. It was also pretty difficult to get a hold of the owner/trainer.
