Smarty Paws Dog Training & Behaviour

Transformational dog training for all breeds and all ages

Looking for a dog training expert? 

Meet me, Kathy!

With my guidance, you can teach your furry friend to behave, focus, and respond to your commands.

Say goodbye to embarrassing moments and enjoy life with your well-behaved dog. Contact me today!

I can help you with your puppy, rescue dog, adolescent dog or adult dog.  I’d love to be your advisor, mentor and guide with all things dog and dog training.

I understand problems that owners have and am certain that with a bit of training, you could claim your life back and enjoy living with your dog.  I teach dogs to focus on their owners.  When they focus on their owners, the owner means more than the other dog, person, leaf, butterfly or any other distraction!

If you want a dog that will walk nicely beside you, not jump on your visitors, come when you call it and doesn’t wreck your home, or cry when you go out, then get in touch.

Smarty Paws clients have dogs that :

• walk nicely on their leads
• consider their owner as the centre of their universe
• know how to behave when visitors come to the house
• are complimented on their behaviour
• are happy to be left at home for short periods.

Smarty Paws offers the following options to cater to the needs of dog owners and their dogs:

1. Basic Group Classes: Teaches fundamental commands such as sit, stay, come, and leash walking to establish good behavior and communication with the dog.

2. Puppy Training: Specifically designed for young puppies, this training focuses on socialization, crate training, potty training, and basic commands.

3. Behavior Modification: Help dogs with behavioral issues such as aggression, anxiety, fear, and separation anxiety by identifying triggers and implementing positive reinforcement techniques.

4. Advanced Training: Train dogs in more complex commands and behaviors like mantrailing, tricks, or specialized tasks like therapy dog training.

5. Separation Anxiety Training: Help for owners of dogs who struggle being left alone.  The virtual training trains dogs how to be happy by themselves.  

6. One-on-One Training: Offer personalized training sessions tailored to the specific needs and goals of individual dogs and their owners.

7. Online or Remote Training: Offer virtual training sessions for clients who prefer or require remote guidance.

8. Therapy Dog Training: Specializes in therapy dogs for emotional support.  Book an initial chat for more information.
