Don't defeat your dog's desire to please you.
Welcome to Smarter Than Your Dog
Dog Training
Smarter than Your Dog! recognizes that it really is both the owner and the dog who require training. Training therefore always addresses both owner-coaching and dog-training. Trainer Debbie Exley employs Positive-Based Training principles, instructing owners how to Praise/Reward desired behaviors and shut down all reinforcers for undesirable behaviors.
“My goal in training is to get the dog to want to do what I want. I should see ears up and tail wagging. Nobody is having fun when a dog is MADE to perform a behavior. I want the dog looking up at the owner, smiling and happily wondering what the owner wants next.”
Day Care
Smarter than Your Dog! Daycare gives your dog a stimulating day with their canine friends, then they go home TIRED. Owners enjoy a dog-free, guilt-free day. We use a canine pack model, and the dogs are continuously supervised. This approach helps dogs learn appropriate pack behaviors.
