FirstBarkWonderful trainers, all the staff very friendly and you get help right away. They have done a great job on my Aussi, mostly trained me how to work her properly. I will aways be in their debt. My dog loves going here. I will miss them so much when I move. Megan and Samantha are the best

My dogs have been boarded here twice now and you can tell they have been well taken care of each time. Staff here is extremely friendly and sweet with my pups. I also love that they give them 3-4 walks a day, plus playtime! Lastly, you can tell smart paws is invested in high quality care as on my first day visiting they were attending a course which shows they are invested in always learning and providing high quality services.
