At Smart Paws Academy, our goal goes beyond a well-behaved dog—we’re here to help you create a happy, balanced companion who trusts, listens, and thrives. With personalized, one-on-one training at your location and out in the community, we’ll turn frustration into fun as you and your dog become the calm, confident team you’ve always wanted. 

Inspired Dog. – 6 sessions

Obedience, Manners & Problem Solving
No matter your dog’s age, breed, or background — and whether you’re a first-time owner or a seasoned pro — we’re here to help you become the confident leader your dog needs.

Dogs learn best through experience and clear communication. With patience and consistency, your dog can master everyday skills like focusing on you around distractions, walking nicely on leash, settling calmly, and waiting politely at doors.

Our goal is to help you speak dog — to-understand your pup’s body language and communicate in ways that make sense to them. Together, we’ll build good habits and shape behavior in a way that feels natural, positive, and fun for both of you.

Pathways to Trust and Calm.  8-12 Sessions

This specialized program is designed for dogs who struggle with fear, aggression, uncontrollable barking, anxiety, or reactivity. Pathways offers everything included in our standard private training—plus the extra care, time, and strategies your challenging dog needs to succeed.

Through play-based learning, positive experiences, and gentle redirection, we’ll guide your dog to replace unwanted behaviors with confidence and calm focus. Each session builds a stronger, more trusting bond between you and your dog as we work on essential obedience skills while addressing emotional triggers and reactivity.
