Dogsmart Training & Daycare

We absolutely loved Alice’s class, she is incredibly knowledgeable. As an experienced dog owner I realized how little I actually knew. Her training is clear and concise. Be prepared she lets you know when your doing something wrong. My husband and I left the class each time in stitches laughing after being told sternly what to do and we needed to be told because everything she said worked. We have promptly signed up for more classes. We loved her attitude she cares about dogs and their well-being first and foremost. Alice does not sugarcoat what she says which is fine with us as we were there to learn. I have read other reviews about about her abruptness and we did not take it personally at all, we felt her priority was in the right place. Which was for the dogs not the feelings of the humans. I give her class five stars you will absolutely benefit if you do what she says.

4 years ago, my partner and I adopted a dog from Korea through an organization that rescues dogs from the meat trade there. When he arrived, while he was very sweet, he was incredibly nervous and frightened of his new environment. We attended a few dog training classes before we found Alice at DogSmart, and while they were good, they didn’t offer the level of expertise and patience we needed for our reactive boy. We started attending Alice’s Reactive Dog Course in 2019 along with some other dogs who had similar issues. While our dog, Gordon, still has work to be done, it is only through listening to Alice’s expert tutelage, and her tireless patience, care and generosity, that Gordon has shown so much improvement. I would highly recommend Alice to anyone looking for support with their dogs if they are willing to listen and put in the work.

An excellent positive rewards dog training school. They train you to train your dog. I have a bad habit to slide back into training dogs the Woodhouse Way. Not really appropriate anymore. I go back with every pup.
