Smart K9 Training

We had been looking for a dog behaviorist for our 3 yr old German Shepherd for quite some time. Enter Smart K9 Training. Our dog went through a 4 week board and train, due to his reactivity to other dogs (he was bitten by an unleashed dog as a puppy) as well as help calm his very anxious mind. He was so much more calm and confident upon his arrival home! We also did a 3-day board and train later to add on e-collar-- this has been a godsend! Our dog can now peacefully exist in our backyard with the neighbor dogs out next door.. and not have a crazy barking fit through the fence! He also no longer paces back and forth inside, barking at anything and everything that goes by the windows. He can finally be relaxed and his quality of life (and ours!) is so much better now. Thank you, Emilee and Smart K9 Training!

Emilee does an amazing job, and Smart K9 was the best investment we have ever made for our dog, Bodin. Bodin is a high energy blue heeler mix who is sometimes too smart for his own good. Emilee taught him to focus his energy and to behave in a calm manner. More importantly, she taught his humans how to be the best leaders possible for him. Additionally, Emilee is always available to consult on any behavioral issue that may come up. We are very impressed with Smart K9 and highly recommend Emilee's services.

When we sent Presley to Smart K9, we were expecting a more obedient dog and that was about it; however, what we got was above and beyond our expectations. Presley is not only more obedient, but she is now equipped to handle situations that make her anxious and nervous. Presley went to the 2 Week Day Training and now continues to go for daycare and boarding for continued training. Emilee and the staff at Smart K9 are easy to work with, patient, and personalize training to specific needs for each dog and family. The one-on-one attention was just what our family needed to ensure Presley was getting what she needed for her best life. We have learned so much from Smart K9 and are excited to continue working with them. Thank you so much, Smart K9.

Smart K9 training changed our lives. Our dog went through a 3 week board and train program due to his fear and growing aggression. In a matter of a few weeks Emilee helped our dog change his state of mind and learn ways to calm himself. We loved the honesty through the experience and that even after our board and train ended she didn't just send us on our way and say "good luck". We had 3 follow up one on one classes and we get awesome perks for going through board and train. Our dog attends daycare weekly where she works with him while he's there and he loves it. We will also have a peace of mind boarding him there for longer times knowing he will be well taken care of and get to work on his training when we are gone! We appreciate the continuous suggestions on training and ways to help our dog even more. It's not just a one time and it's over, they're here to help you for the long haul. It's exactly what we needed for our dog and for us! Our life at home has become more calming and less stressful. We couldn't be more thankful! Highly recommend!!
