Stephanie&I have been taking our pup, Ruckus, to S.M.S. For the past few weeks. He is a wonderful, friendly pup but is a bit headstrong/willful. Nadyah has worked with Ruckus, and has helped us achieve a better relationship b/w us and our dog. We were hesitant at first with the concept of the ‘electric collar’ but, if used correctly, there is nothing abusive to your pet. You will quickly realize that the staff at SMS care very much for animals (dogs) and that they’re training methodology is in the best interests of our furry friends!

Love Sit Means Sit! The personal and group lessons have been helpful to both our rambunctious golden doodle and us! He is still strong-willed at times and loves to be right-next-to-his-humans, but he is gaining confidence and learning about space. He loves when we get his training leash out to go to group class! Thank you SMS! You are turning an already good dog into a great dog!

Great Experience! Our dog Lorenzo was having reactive walks for a few years. Ever since we started training with SMS and learned why and how to create boundaries, we're all having better more FUN walks. We learned so much through the process and are so thankful for the great staff. We're continuing to attend group classes that are included with training. Highly recommend!
