Smart Dogs Dog Training – A Trained Dog is a Happy Dog


Obedience training is the foundation to communicating with your dog. Once your dog understands what “to do” and knows how to please you, life together is much more enjoyable for all. A “no’ to a trained dog means something, but to an untrained dog it is just an unpleasant sound with little meaning. Smart Dogs offers boarding and lesson basis training for puppies and adults. Many Jen’s list subscribers and their families have had successful results. Call Jeff at (818) 371-1231 to get started.
