Continuing education and skill building will always be something important to me.

More info about Zach Smiley's dog training:

Virtual Consultations, In Home 1-on-1's, In Home Day Training - From basic to advanced manners/obedience, Fear & Frustration based reactivity

Behavioral issue focus:

I work with a lot of family dogs who need basic to advanced manners, leash walking, recall etc... I also worked with a lot of fearful dogs and dogs who show fear or frustration based reactivity.

Dog training methods:

I am a rewards based trainer following the IAABC/CCPDT Joint Standard version of LIMA which is influenced by the Humane Hierarchy. We will make sure all your dog's needs are being met and teach them skills using a clear marker system and various rewards including food, play, affection, and any other things your dog may be motivated for.

Why I became a dog trainer:

To help people understand and better live with their canine companions.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Seeing those "ah-ha!" moments with both the dogs and their handlers.

My #1 dog training tip:

Dogs do what works, so make what you want them to do work for them.
