Smart Dogs Training & Lodging

I injured my Shoulder and couldn't take care of my 10 month old, 86 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback Puppy. I'm a Veterinarian so I wanted only the Best for Donga. I found Smart Dogs Training and Lodging on the Internet. I called Kristy and because of my situation Kristy offered to pick Donga up from my house once I decided to place him in one of their Training and Lodging Programs. They had Donga for 5 weeks! Looking at the pictures you can see there is Training time, Socialization time (including a trip to Home Depot) and plenty of Play time! Donga is so well behaved he's back home with me until I have my Surgery. All I have to do is say the name Kristy or Ian and he knows exactly who I'm talking about! They are going to pick Donga up in 2 weeks, just before my Surgery and will probably have him for another 3-4 weeks. I hope Donga will want to come back Home❗

I can't say enough about Kristy and Ian. I bought a golden retriever puppy for my grandson and it turned into a nightmare. The kids moved in with me while their new home is being built and that's when life began to be unbearable. I've had dogs and other animals all my life and never really had a problem, until I met Owee. He is extremely strong willed. He'd steal my grandsons toys and everything else he could get his teeth into and my grandson was frightened of him because of his unruly behavior. After a couple weeks with Ian and Kristy and I thought he was either sick or depressed to be home (once you see the treatment they get and the accommodations they stay in you'll understand why they may not want to come home}. However, it turned out he was just behaving! I'm not saying he doesn't still try to push the limits but he truly is a different dog and any problems we have they are quick to step in and help us to correct it . Unfortunately, my year old puppy was diagnosed with hip dysplasia in both back legs. They were so compassionate and helpful, even reaching out to their clients to get me advice. When the vet said swimming would be good for him, they came to the house to give him swimming lessons, since I probably have the only golden retriever that's afraid of water. Well, as you can see, Owee's doing fine and the whole family is much happier.
