Certified Dog Trainers in Salisbury, Maryland

At Smart Pups, we believe in using positive reinforcement, reward-based training techniques and customized programs for individual dogs and owners. I encourage the use of tools such as treats, toys, affection, clickers, harnesses, and head collars to assist owner and dog in the learning process. Smart Pups does not use force or pain to gain ground with dogs- we work with you to build trust and strengthen the relationship between you and your four-legged friend. Services offered include group classes, new pet consultations, and in-home private training. With experience in everything from bringing home a new puppy to aggression, Smart Pups has the knowledge base to help you and your dog reach your full potential!
