We have spent years living with, studying, training, and understanding dogs.
We want our dogs to live with us as part of our families.
We have found that the more we understand how dogs think and behave,
the more we can live with them in harmony.
​
All of our programs at Dog Gone Smart are designed from this perspective.
This allows us to offer boarding and day care where dogs can interact with each other safely.
Our understanding of dog behavior and our years of experience in working with dogs have enabled us to create an incredibly successful training program.
We enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience with you
to make your relationship with your dog the best it can be.
We love what we do and we feel privileged to care for and work with your dog.
