About Us
Smart Dog Training is the UK’s leading dog training organisation, built on over 20 years of experience working with dogs and their owners. We deliver professional training through in-home sessions, structured group classes, and tailored behaviour programmes designed around your goals.
The SMART Method
Every Smart Dog Training programme follows the SMART Method - a five-step system designed for calm behaviour, lasting reliability, and clear communication between you and your dog.
Structure
Training begins with fair guidance, clear routines, and consistent expectations. Dogs learn responsibility from the start and understand exactly how to succeed.
Motivation
Rewards are layered with freedom and responsibility to create true engagement. Dogs don’t just obey - they want to work, with energy, confidence, and focus.
Awareness
Your dog learns to process information, stay attentive, and make correct choices even under distraction. Awareness turns obedience into control that works anywhere.
Reliability
Behaviours are proofed step by step - pressure, release, and reinforcement combined until commands are fluent, dependable, and reliable on and off lead.
Trust
Consistency and fairness build trust. Dogs respond with confidence because communication is honest, expectations are clear, and success is always rewarded.
Group Classes
Group sessions bring structure, socialisation, and real-world practice together. Under the guidance of a certified Smart Master Dog Trainer (SMDT), your dog learns to focus, listen, and perform reliably around people and other dogs. Every class builds confidence, strengthens control, and reinforces the results you see at home.
