Smart dogs Founder & training director

With over 20 years of extensive experience in dog training, I’ve personally trained more than 20,000 dogs and helped thousands of dog owners and their families build strong, happy relationships with their pets. My expertise and deep understanding of advanced dog training techniques, allows me to work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavioral backgrounds—no challenge is too big or too small. Whether you’re dealing with a new puppy, a stubborn adult dog, or specific behavioral issues, My training programs provide clear, practical instructions to help you reinforce your dog’s new skills at home. By following my coaching and guidance, you’ll enjoy the rewards of a well-trained dog who’s a true pleasure to have as part of your family! I’m here to provide the support needed to transform your dog into a well-behaved, SMART DOG.

Why Training Your Dog Is So Important

Training isn’t just about teaching commands; it’s about building a lifelong bond of trust and respect between you and your dog. A trained dog is not only happier and healthier, but it also enjoys a stronger connection with its owner, who benefits from a well-behaved and joyful companion. Studies show that trained dogs tend to be more confident, calm, and content because they understand what’s expected of them and have structure in their lives. This structure helps reduce their anxiety and enriches the time you share together.
