Tony and his Smart Start Puppies Team were the perfect choice to guide me and my recently rescued cane corso mix on a successful path together, With a patient, gentle, and flexible approach to training, Tony instilled the confidence and patience I needed to allow Lady Bird to thrive.

“Transforming My Dog’s Behavior with Expert Training”
I’m incredibly grateful to Smart Start Puppies. They taught me how to have better control of my dog. After her training, she’s become so well-behaved, calm, and brings me a lot of peace of mind.
Now, I can take her to more places with full confidence that Matilda will behave excellently.
Thank you so much, Tony! You’re a true professional and an amazing trainer. You taught us key commands and techniques that have made a huge difference in how I manage my dog.

“Flawless, Fabulous Results!”
We just completed the service dog training package and it was the best thing we ever did for our dog! Our trainer was David and he was super flexible with our crazy schedules and a great teacher. He not only helped correct our dog’s behavioral issues but taught us the techniques we needed to know to ensure milo keeps these new habits. Our dog is a different dog now, for the better, and I would recommend David and smart start puppies to anyone looking for any level of obedience training!!
