Welcome to DogSmart

Real-life training, honest behaviour support, and a community built on understanding dogs — not just managing them.

Every Dog is Different. So is Every Owner.

People come to us for different reasons — and that’s exactly how it should be.

Maybe you're looking for guidance with a lively gundog.
Maybe you’ve just brought home a puppy and want to start things right.
Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by your dog’s behaviour and don’t know what to do next.

Wherever you’re at — we’ll meet you there.

We’re Not Just a Training Service — We’re a Family

At Dog Smart, we don’t just work with dogs. We walk alongside their humans too.

Our clients become part of a growing community — one that values honesty, patience, and the belief that learning should feel safe. Whether you’re here for support, answers, or a sense of direction, you’re always welcome.

Being dog smart isn’t about controlling your dog.
It’s about understanding them — and learning to work together.
