One Smart Dog

I hired Dawn from One Smart Dog to do some in-​home private training with our 4 year old labradoodle and our new labradoodle puppy. I also attended her Puppy Class and plan to attend additional classes in the future. Universally, I have nothing but positive things to say about One Smart Dog. Dawn is not your average trainer! She takes the time to educate herself continuously and is highly effective in shaping behavior through the science of positive reinforcement training. She will you teach exactly when and how to apply it to quickly correct any issues you are having and to ensure your dog is able to follow a diverse set of obedience commands. I am a psychologist and she understand behavior therapy better than I do :) It is very impressive! My two dogs are absolutely in love with each other now after a very difficult adjustment period and I credit a lot of that to Dawn’s guidance. I highly recommend her services — you will find them to be well worth your time and money!

My dog Franklin and I loved our experiences with One Smart Dog and Dawn. We started with puppy class and enjoyed it so much we ended up also taking family basic, intermediate, and reliable recall. Franklin just passed his CGC test and I am so proud of him! Dawn was very helpful and the classes were kept to a small and intimate amount of dogs and owners — great job and strongly recommend!

We are currently enrolled in Family Manners class with our mini poodle. The first day I knew we had chosen the right trainer. Dawn’s knowledge and love of dogs is apparent. The class environment is happy and full of positive energy. I absolutely recommend One Smart Dog!
