5/5 Stars - The Absolute Best in the Business! We have worked with several dog trainers over the years, but hand on heart, Julie is the best trainer we have ever worked with. Working with her was, without a doubt, the best decision we have made for our dog, Koda, and for our family's peace of mind. From the very first session, Julie's approach was a breath of fresh air. She doesn't just train the dog; she expertly trains the owner, providing us with the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools necessary to continue the work every day. Within weeks, we saw dramatic improvements in our Dog that has been life-changing for our family.

Julie at Smarty Paws Dog Training is amazing! She was so kind and patient with our 1-year-old golden retriever, Ralphie. He absolutely loves her and has learned so much. Ralphie has also done boot camp with Julie, and it’s helped us out tremendously at home—plus he loves it. He’s done so well that we just completed Level 3. We’re really happy with the results and highly recommend her!

Julie B one of the trainers at Smarty Paws is exceptional. Her knowledge of canine behavior helps in her approach to getting your dog to obey. My little dog tends to be so scared and she explained why certain things are difficult for her and she provided me with tools to help both of us achieve our goals(or maybe just my goals:). I highly recommend!

My Great Dane is ECSTATIC and on her way to being very well TRAINED! I don't usually write reviews after just one day, but I am so incredibly impressed with Smarty Paws K9 Doggie Boot Camp that I had to share! I took my Great Dane, Lola there yesterday, and the results were immediate and absolutely amazing. From the moment I picked her up, it was clear she had the best day ever. She was absolutely radiating happiness, full of playful energy, and just beaming! But here's the crucial part: this is NOT a Doggie Daycare. The incredible team at Smarty Paws actively worked on her training throughout the entire day, seamlessly integrating it into their activities. To have Lola come home so joyful AND noticeably more well-behaved after just one session is truly remarkable. The difference in her focus and responsiveness after a single day of their "boot camp" approach was astounding. I want to give a special shout out to Julie, the Trainer who worked with Lola...Julie could have her own dog training reality show...she is THAT effective of a dog trainer! The facility is spotless, which is a huge plus, and you can tell the staff genuinely cares about the dogs. This isn't just a place for your dog to hang out; it's a full-on, comprehensive experience that combines fun, exercise, and crucial, effective training. Honestly, this is the BEST DEAL IN TOWN and the BEST GEM IN TOWN for any dog owner. If you want your dog to be happy, well-trained, and thriving in a clean, caring environment, you have found the answer to your prayers in Smarty Paws K9 Doggie Boot Camp!!

If you are looking for a place to bring your dog for obedient and even Boot Camp (yes, Boot Camp for dogs) this is definitely the place to go. Years ago we brought our previous dog here and the trainer did amazing. At the beginning of this year we adopted a puppy, Baker, who was only a few months old. This was our first time having a puppy, and it was a culture shock compared to our previous dog who was older and calmer. We thought our dog would never be trainable and behave so we went back here, and Julie who is a trainer is a lifesaver and a life changer. You can tell she has a compassion for dogs and knows exactly how to train dogs and also help train the owners! 😂. She ran an obedience class in addition to Boot Camp for dogs. We have noticed extreme positive progress!!! if you are looking/me place and a person to help train your dog, I recommend this place and especially Julie. She’s a great trainer and also respects the owners boundaries and will never tell you how to train your dog but rather give you tips and you can determine what’s best for your lifestyle with your dog. I have recommended this place too many people who have challenges with their dogs and will continue to!!
