I've been using them since they opened; they're working with me on my 4th large golden now, and their knowledge, methods, and flexibility, and empathy are 1 in a million. I used all that they offer from puppy playtime, structured classes, swimming, day care, one on one training at their facility, and home visits to address everything from fear response, anxiety, that one dog who thinks THEY run the show, and basic manners. They know what they're doing, your dog's safety is paramount, they DO have adequate staffing at all times, and they do not expect YOU to do anything, except learn best methods, while your dog learns what's expected of them in a family home. They aren't just spouting a bunch of overwhelming platitudes on what you must and must not do. They understand people are busy, or just "life/reasons" and they don't judge you, they help you. And those breakthroughs when your dog not just gets it, they happily obey, and suddenly that horrible thing your terrific dog was doing..... stops, PRICELESS. The stress in the house disappears!

Very disorganized. After a week of "meet and greets" and "interviews" we were scheduled to finally drop off my dog for her first day. I called the Friday before to make sure they had everything they needed, which they confirmed, and later sent me a text confirming once again that they had everything. As we were pulling up to their location I got a call, indicating that I couldn't drop her off, because they were still missing another test. It seems that to make up for their disorganization, they try to make the whole process tedious and difficult. We ended up at another local doggy day care which worked out great.

I can only speak for the swimming lessons, I can not speak for the training nor the daycare facility. When I go in it’s clean and the people have been kind and attentive. My dogs swim instructor is never late and the pool is big for my dog and my brothers dog we bring them both in together and it’s worth every penny we have two Rottweilers and they love the water and the pool has a bunch of toys in it for them to chase and tire out.We don’t the private swimming lessons which is a reasonable price - they offer other group water classes but we haven’t ever been to one of those :)

As a dog owner it is scary dropping your loved pet off. Our Samson goes about 1x a week. He loves it and comes home tired. They are a full service area. Grooming, nail trims, boarding, training and swimming. Yes my dog is living his best life. When you first start, you have a complimentary half day to see how your dog interacts so they can place them with a specific group. They give you feed back on behaviors. I absolutely love it and recommend it. Enjoy!

I have been using Dog Gone Smart for many years, 25 to be exact. I have had a few dogs in my life during that time.The trainer who trained my first dog is now training dog number 3. I used to work in the area but no longer work there. However, I now drive 25 minutes to and from to get there because it is the best place for my dog. When I drop her there I don’t think about her for the rest of the day because I know she is having a great time w her friends and well supervised. They will call you with any questions they have ( usually because I have forgotten to tell them something or label something with directions for them to follow ).The staff is amazing. Many of the staff that was there 25 years ago is still there now. You will learn their names and how much they have invested in you and your pet.They have GREAT training programs as well as wonderful daycare and boarding.I have recommended them to many people over the years. No one has ever been disappointed. There are many dog places around, but you will be hard pressed to find one that can compare to this facility.

I hope this review will prompt you to give Dog Gone Smart a try. My family has used them for 25 years which spanned the life of 3 dogs. 1 family dog, and later 2 dogs which were just mine. They trained, with me, and often without me, kept our dogs when we traveled, sometimes for long periods of time and gave them endless hours of playtime with "friends". All I would have to do in the morning is ask my dog if she wanted to go play with " friends" and she knew what that meant and was instantly excited for the drive there. Oh and maybe I should mention I drive 1/2 hour to get there. the service is that valuable to me. Many, and I mean many of the staff has been the same there for 25 years. The trainer training my dog now, is the same trainer who trained my first dog. I think when you can hold staff in one place for that long, that says a lot about the place/ and the commitment they have to what they do. I'm sure they have bad days but you would never know it. Your always met with a smile and hello and an energetic happy greeting to welcome your pet. My dogs are always well cared for and I leave them each time feeling good about bringing them. The hours are extremely flexible and very generous. You can pick up from daycare into the later evening which many places don't offer at no additional charges. They also provide overnight staff which is another thing not everyplace offers. You want a staff that knows your dog there at night in the event something goes wrong, not just an alarm with a promise help is coming. I can't say enough good things about this doggie facility. I hope this review prompts you to try them.You will not be disappointed.

I am so impressed with the knowledge of this wonderful staff. My 15 year old dog wanted to play but was clearly was under stress due to some recent health issues. The way they handled Romeo was fast and professional and with so much care. My 4 kids and I are forever grateful for how you cared for him. I would recommend this place to anyone with a puppy or aging dog like we have.

I brought my 8 month old golden in for Puppy Swims as we'd been trying to get him used to swimming for months with no luck. The entire visit was super efficient - Todd brought him into the pool and within a few minutes he had gone from thrashing around in the pool to paddling efficiently and even retrieving toys. I can't believe how much progress he made in just one short session!We'll be back for sure to continue helping my pup build confidence in the water.
