We couldn’t be happier with Smart Step Puppies and our trainer Tony! From puppy obedience to ongoing lifestyle training, the difference in our dog has been amazing. Tony’s patience, skill, and genuine care have transformed our pup into a well-behaved, confident, and happy dog. The training is practical, consistent, and truly fits into everyday life. Highly recommend Smart Step Puppies and Tony to anyone who wants the best for their dog! 🐾

After 2 months with my new rescue, I knew we needed some help. A great dog, a lot of trauma. We had to start from the basics. She needed to learn how to just be a dog. She had no idea. Tony and Julie have been the best. From the house, to the neighborhood, to day boarding to the airport and mall visits, they were always there to help guide Scout and I. With the consistency learned in training I now have a happy, stress free home and a well adjusted dog 6 months post adoption. Time and money well spent.

I can’t say enough good things about Tony as a dog trainer. From day one, he’s been patient, professional, and genuinely invested in helping Ollie (and me!) succeed. You can tell he truly understands dog behavior and meets each dog where they’re at, no cookie-cutter methods, just tailored guidance that actually works. Ollie not only responded well to Tony’s techniques but actually enjoyed the training process. Tony helped build Ollie’s confidence while giving me the tools I needed to feel more confident as a dog owner. Whether we were working on leash manners, commands, or addressing anxiety, Tony always made it feel manageable and encouraging. He has a calm, grounded energy that dogs pick up on immediately and that energy carries over to the people he works with too. If you’re looking for someone who’s kind, consistent, and really knows what they’re doing, Tony is the one. I’m grateful we found him.

I’d like to thank Tony and Julie so very much for coming out and working with our two Dobermans. Our dogs became different dogs almost immediately after the first two sessions. Tony came and showed assertiveness and gained the dogs respect. However, The work always continues as we need to be consistent in the home and that’s on us to maintain well educated dogs. I would highly recommend this company. Over all very happy.

The team did an amazing job both training my dog and teaching me tools and techniques. I used to have a crazy T-Rex in my house, and after working closely with David and Adam, Apollo is now a very good boy. Julie also helped us a lot with any challenges that we experienced. The team is very experienced, friendly and supportive.
