The Smartydog Center for Canine Enrichment

I will never take my puppies anywhere else for training. We took my great dane there a few years ago and since rescuing a pitbull, we take him there too. Marty is SO knowledgeable about dogs and training. My puppy has become fearless through the obstacle courses that she has that promotes bonding between the puppy and his person and confidence in the puppy. My puppy now loves jumping over and on things (outside!). It is amazing to see. She also teaches how to wait at doors, go into a crate easily, how to walk on a leash and so much more. My puppy now goes into his crate with ease! I love these classes so much that I am taking my puppy to them even though I have a broken foot! I didn't want to wait for the next class. Marty makes learning fun with her humor. She makes it feel safe to learn and ask questions. I always recommend Smarty Dog training to anyone and everyone!

I’ve been bringing my dog Buzz to Smartydog for about four years, and he’s gone from completely out of control, crazy, zero training to calm and in control (most of the time). Marty and her team meet you where you and your dog are and help you to develop a relationship using fun and unique challenges. You never know what you’re going to find when you come to a flex class, but it’s never going to be boring. Despite starting from zero with an untrained rescue dog, Buzz has earned Trick Dog Champion and Rally Novice titles and participates in nosework and pre-beginner agility training. There’s kayaking with your dog, an Easter egg hunt, special holiday events, and the Adventurescape is an amazing Rube Goldberg-esque construction that has to be seen to believe. The Flex classes are great for choosing the time and type of class that works for you and your dog, besides being a great money saver compared to most other classes in the area. I’ve seen amazing growth from my dog and other dogs in the classes.
