Dog Training

Is your pup proficient with basic obedience cues, but has some problem behaviors you’d like to address?  Maybe they dart out open doors? Jump on guests? Walk YOU on leash? Do they give you the stink eye when you call them to come?

Maybe you both could just use some professional guidance to get back in the groove? Smartypaws will come to your home (or a local park if applicable) and offer a personalized training/behavior consultation to address your individual needs.  

These consultations are $399. Additional in-home follow up sessions are $150/hr.

• Pre-session phone interview to discuss behaviors and possible solutions
• 1 hands-on training session lasting about 1 hr.
• Customized written training plan with detailed instructions via e-mail
• Phone or e-mail support and assistance at no extra charge
