Smartypaws practices the most successful, scientifically proven, positive reinforcement dog training methods
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 $125/hr.
