K9 Good Manners

K9 Good Manners is the very best place to have your dog trained in a safe relaxed environment. John Smithhart & Tonya Selinger are both excellent trainers that care about your beloved dog. They treat dogs with care and respect, not pushing or punishing them to learn quickly by kneeing them in the chest or dragging them down into position. They care about where your dog is by getting to know them and find ways to help them learn as well as help you learn how to continue their training once they have completed the training program. John/Tonya are available to answer any questions you may have concerning how exactly to proceed once you are at home, all you need to do is call. I recommend these dog trainers wholeheartedly for anyone that loves their dogs like family. K9 Good Manners in Taylor, SC with John Smithhart is the perfect best place to get your training on!

I truly can’t say enough good things about John and his team at K9 Good Manners to adequately describe my experience getting my one year old golden retriever Amity trained by them. From start to finish they were very good at listening to my concerns regarding her behavior, communicating with me regarding her progress, and taking great care to follow the (kind of crazy) feeding instructions I provided them with for her. Since getting Amity back home, day to day life with her has been great. I have been practicing the commands John taught me with her everyday, and she is doing amazing. I am very pleased with the results I got from K9 Good Manners, and look forward to using them for my other dogs in the near future!

I am over the moon with the results of Ozzy's training program with K9 good manners! The program was expertly tailored to address all Ozzys specific needs, and the trainers were incredibly patient and knowledgeable and communicative. I loved receiving regular progress, updates and photos-it was wonderful to see Ozzys growth and development. The results are truly amazing and Ozzy has become an even more delightful companion than before. The investment in the training is well worth it, and i recommend K9 Good Manners to every one seeking professional effective and compassionate dog training, they exceeded my expectations in every way.

I brought my Doberman to good manners for the obedience program and when I say I was so please on her return they are very professional and treat you like family with updates calls, text, pics and even videos make you feel like you’re right there with your fury friend will definitely return to these trainers for future pets and still to this day text and check up on how she is doin hard to find trustworthy and reliable trainers these days but with them they made everything a breeze even ran and got her more food when she ran out before the training was over highly recommended!!!
