    Best trainers ever - professional and they CARE about you and your dogs!Skeptical at first but now a total believer! We have two dogs - a SUPER ENERGETIC chihuahua puppy and an older STUBBORN AND REACTIVE shih tzu mix - both desperately in need of basic obedience and good manners. Just one session with ***** at Smart Start Puppies and we saw an IMMEDIATE change in both the dog behavior and our own!Smart Start Puppies equipped us with all the tools we need to become more confident and responsible dog parents. Two months later and the dogs are completely different dogs - not only are they more obedient and reliable, they seem genuinely happier. Training a dog is not for the faint of heart and it takes a lot of discipline but with Smart Start Puppies youll have one on one support and a network of super talented, patient and knowledgeable training experts at your disposal to hold you accountable and help you achieve success.If you love your pups but need help getting them under control or have more advanced needs like therapy or service dog training, call Smart Start. Everyone at Smart Start is amazing - *****, ******* and ***** - and theyre all genuinely excited to help you create the dog of your dreams. Not only are they kind and passionate about what they do, theyre legit experts in the field of dog training. If youre on the fence, just jump in - Smart Start is worth EVERY ***** and my only regret is that I waited so long to call them!And special shout-out to ***** - he's a real gem. Not only is he patient, understanding, smart and super kind, he's a straight shooter and one of the most honest and humble people we've ever met. ***** gave us homework starting on day one and consistently checked in on us, and no matter how busy he was he always made time for us...and the best part is that he held us accountable (THANK YOU!!). ***** gave us the confidence we needed to take control of our dogs and ultimately our lives, and for that we're forever grateful.

    I had a great experience here. I did the lifestyle program and it was well worth the time and investment. My trainer was ***** and he was very knowledgeable and reliable. In all I am very happy that I did this training and I enjoy my time with my dog more now than ever before.

    These people are a ****! They charged me $4,000 for 1 pup and kept her in a boarding facility for 1 of the 2 weeks that I was unaware of until they checked her out. My dog was returned in an AGGRESSIVE state. She wasnt even potty trained which is basic. When asked for a record of the hours spent with my dog. I was insulted by **** and hung up on. These people should be put in jail! And I will not stop until they are or my money is returned. BEWARE OF ****!
