Private In-Home Training
Private, customized lessons for you and your dog.
They probably won’t tell you, but dogs are looking for rules, boundaries and limitations. Dogs are pack animals and look to the pack leader for direction. If you are not the pack leader, the dog will make his own rules and that’s where the problems begin. Consistent training establishes dominance and solidifies your place as the pack leader. Training is also a great way to focus your dog’s mind and give him a job to do. It’s also a great way for your pet to burn off excess energy. A tired dog is a Smiling Dog! A typical training session will have the trainer work with your dog to introduce and teach the desired behavior. After the dog knows the command, the trainer works with owner to teach the proper technique to elicit desired behavior. Training sessions should be no longer than one week apart for the best result.

Trained Puppies for Sale
There is no easier way to bring a puppy into your home.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could buy a puppy without the craziness of puppyhood? Imagine a puppy that responds to your commands, walks on a leash without pulling, doesn’t jump, doesn’t nip, rides nicely in a car, is well socialized and sleeps through the night in his crate. Smiling Dog can give you that very puppy.

Dog Walking
A tired, well-exercised dog is a Smiling Dog.
Dog-Walking: 20 – 45 minute dog walk
Dogs are pack animals and THRIVE on connection with their fellows. Give your dog the gift of a “sibling” a few times a week without having to actually care for another dog in your home! Or just give your dog the gift of a private one-on-one outing with us while you are at work so you come home to one happy and content dog. Please note: we only walk a maximum of 3 dogs per walk and we are happy to do private walks with just your dog if your dog would prefer that.
