Smarty Paws Canine Coaching

Canine Training

Our canine companions deserve to live a stress free, stimulating life that we can enjoy with them. Smarty Paws can provide the map to put you and your dog on the correct path! My goal for all training — whether agility, behavior or obedience — is to provide training tools in a fun environment so both dog and owner bond through a positive training experience.

Take a look at our Class Schedule for a complete overview of all our training types. Then you can register for a class by visiting our K9 Activity Center.

 

One-on-One Private Training

Herding Instinct Evaluation

Have your dog evaluated for its herding instinct. This service will be scheduled individually, though a day may be set aside to evaluate several dogs over a few hours. Interested? Make your Private Training Request in the K9 Activity Center.

Herding

A half an hour of work on sheep with an instructor for continuing work on livestock. Time at facility may be longer than lesson time, to give livestock time to rest. Plan about 3 "go's", per scheduled lesson.

These will be privately scheduled. Interested? Make your Private Training Request in the K9 Activity Center.
