About Us

Every dog has the potential to become a well-mannered, confident companion—and Smart Dog Training School has been helping make that happen since 1992. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, we work with all breeds, all temperaments, and all challenges using humane methods that build lasting trust between dogs and their families.

About Us

Where Experience Meets Wagging Tails

For over 30 years, we’ve helped dogs of every breed become confident, calm, and family-ready. At Smart Dog Training School, we don’t rely on one-size-fits-all advice. Our programs are built around each dog’s unique personality, history, and challenges. Whether it's a stubborn adult or an energetic puppy, we use proven in-person techniques that bring real change—without stress or confusion. From walking and barking issues to in-home habits and group class behavior, our experience allows us to solve the root issues, not just the symptoms. We make life easier for dogs—and for the people who love them.

We proudly train, board, and walk dogs throughout Los Angeles County with free pickup and delivery included. Families rely on us year after year to keep their dogs well-mannered and happy.

Every program includes lifetime support and unlimited sessions because lasting results should never have a time limit.

Testimonials

Every Dog Transformed Every Owner Grateful

Our bulldog Bruno was stubborn and aggressive around strangers. The team at Smart Dog Training School was patient, and now he walks calmly through busy parks.

– Jessica

Group classes used to overwhelm my dog. With their custom training sessions, Smart Dog Training School helped Piper learn at her own pace. She’s finally thriving.

– Carlos G.

We were nervous first-time puppy parents. The Paws-on Personal Program gave us confidence and taught our lab all the basics. We felt supported every step of the way.

– Daniel R.

We tried everything to stop Max’s barking, but nothing worked. After just two sessions with Smart Dog Training School, he’s calm even when the doorbell rings!

– Leah K.

Leaving my dog while traveling was always stressful. Smart Dog Training School’s boarding care and free pickup gave me peace of mind—and Rocky returned better behaved!
