Dog Training In YOUR Home
No bones about it, every dog has unique needs. Here at The DogSmith we recognize that dog training programs need to be developed around the needs of the dog and the owner. We offer a selection of in-home private training lessons and dog behavior counseling services. Benefit from pre-paid training packages! If you are too busy then leave the training to us by selecting our ‘Latch-Key’ or ‘Board & Train’ packages. Get the dog training you need, whenever you need it!
Your local DogSmith will meet with you and your dog, discuss your training concerns and build a training program around your goals. For each behavior we establish a training goal. That way we can measure how we are doing and how well your dog is progressing. Private training clients receive FREE copies of our DogSmith MTR® training cards.
