What pup-parents say

“Great place to train your puppy and for socialization play sessions before your puppy is fully vax.”

“Smarty Pup was super fun, we bring Maggie our Cavapoo-poo for puppy socials. She’s is getting more social and learning to be with other dogs.”

Pup Parent

“My baby girl Gia went though puppy class level 2. I think it very helpful and I still taking her to the social play weekly, she loves it!”

Pup Parent

“… this place is AMAZING! Fawn and her team are the best. We can in super overwhelmed with our growing puppy. We signed our dog up for the Puppy 1 class and visited a couple of puppy socials. Really helped teach us pawrents tips and tricks! Our Benny boy was so nervous when he first started going. Really nervous with other dogs but loved people. He slowly started to gain his confidence and learn to play with other dogs. Really recommend the [puppy social] group training and the puppy classes!”

“I am very picky and hard to please - I will shop endlessly for places until I am 100% happy with something, and I don't have enough good things to say about SmartyPup. We've attended their socials and are currently taking their classes - Fawn and Tyler are so knowledgeable and their tips WORK. I've attended so many socials and been to other "training" daycares where I try to ask the trainers for advice only to get a shrug or ignored completely. My first social at SmartyPup, Fawn walked right over and advised me why what I was doing wasn't going to work, and gave me tips on doing it differently.”

““I never write reviews, but today I have to because I had an amazing experience at a SmartyPup! puppy social! My 15-week-old puppy has been showing signs of aggression - barking extensively at dogs and people. I was nervous to take him to a puppy social because of his behavior. The staff at SmartyPup did an amazing job helping my puppy get out of his shell. In 55 minutes, he went from being a moray eel (barking at everyone) to being able to independently walk around the room. A huge improvement! The trainers here are amazing and hilarious. Highly recommend.””
