Valerie is the best! We are very thankful for all the work she is doing with our dog. She helped us so much to understand our dog’s behavior and how to train him. Her prices are reasonable and she is super professional. Strongly recommend to any dog owner. Our family (including our pooch) love her!
Valerie was instrumental in showing our little fella the fundamentals in being a good boy. He is a work in progress and Valerie gave us the tools to help him become a better-integrated member of our pack. We loved her patience with him and with us as well! She uses positive reinforcement, which is exactly what…
We had a fantastic experience with Valerie!! She understood our new puppy completely and taught us some very valuable skills to use with him!! I would certainly recommend her services for SW Houston area folks!!
We absolutely enjoyed working with Valerie. She is amazing! She got my doggie doing tricks in minutes. I appreciate very much her support and dedication.
It was such a pleasure to work with Valerie, and her training with our furbaby Gracie, (Cavapoo) was amazing! Thank you SO MUCH Valerie!!
Valerie helped us train our new rescue, Posey, at around 1.5 years old. Valerie was informative and friendly both during the consultation and the actual trainings. We never felt rushed during our sessions. She was easy to schedule with, and she always tailored the sessions to our goals with Posey. Her instructions…
Valerie was absolutely amazing. I'm so glad that we chose this company to train our Pup.
Valerie was great with my puppy! She was super knowledgeable and explained all the commands to us. Our pup learned so quickly too! Our puppy loves her; she was so sweet to my girl. We plan on using her again for future trainings. 10/10 recommend!
This was such an amazing program not only for our puppy but us as well. Valerie took the time to listen to concerns we had worked Sadie’s program around that. Most importantly she taught us how to train and interact with our puppy. For what you get, the price for puppy preschool is a steal. I would 1000% recommend Smarty Paws!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Valerie to train our Sylvie. She uses simple treat-related exercises. And it worked beautifully for her. Thank you Valerie😊
Chloe is a 4 months old miniature dachshund and a full of energy dog. Valerie was great with her, with simple commands we were able to change some bad behaviors and we started crate training. Chloe and us had fun while learning from Valerie. We really recommend Smarty Paws Dog Training as it improved our relationship with our pet.
Thank you so much for helping Odie with the foundational skills needed to be a happy doggie! The one to one training made a huge difference and I’m grateful! I would recommend Valerie anytime!
Valerie is a very professional trainer. She helped us train our new Irish Wolfhound puppy. It was a pleasure working with her. Definitely recommended.
I learned a lot about training my puppy and positive reinforcement. I wanted to work with potty training a little more, but I realize it is different than a command and takes time. We did get some good pointers and my puppy ans me learned a lot of useful things.
