Smart Start Puppies - Dog Training

I can’t recommend Tony enough! We brought Cersei home on a Wednesday, and thankfully I had already scheduled an appointment with Tony for the very next day. As excited as I was to have a new puppy, I honestly had no idea where to start. Potty training, crate training, recall, leash training, and figuring out how to properly introduce and integrate her with my other pets all felt a little overwhelming. Tony spent so much time with me and gave me A LOT of information, practical advice, and guidance from that very first visit. Having someone explain what to do, what to expect, and how to start building good habits right away made such a difference. It truly made those first weeks with a puppy so much easier and, most importantly, much more enjoyable. What I appreciate most is how comfortable and confident Tony made me feel about the entire process. I trusted him and his team so much that Cersei is now doing their 14-day board-and-train program at their facility, which says a lot because I definitely don’t trust just anyone with my puppy! If you’re bringing home a new puppy or simply need help with training, I highly recommend Tony. Getting his guidance from the very beginning was one of the best decisions I made for Cersei and for our family. Five stars without hesitation!

I personally 100% refer Smart Start Puppies and their team in their Fort Lauderdale area for helping me tame my wild beast Tobby. They helped me have my dream dog. Thank you Smart Start Puppies for keeping my dog safe while in your board and training program. Tobby stayed with them for 14 days and they updated me and kept me plugged in with all his new training. They sent me videos and pictures which kept me worry free. Their training facility truly is clean and well organized with some swimming pools only for dogs and staff that love what they do and it shows. I am so happy with new new dream dog, thank you everyone for my Tobby!

I had such a great experience with Tony! He was wonderful with my Yorkie—friendly, patient, and incredibly effective. What I appreciated most is that Tony didn’t just train the dog; he spent just as much time teaching me how to understand him, communicate with him, and handle different situations. The difference has been amazing. Tony genuinely cares about both the dog and the owners, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
