Life With Your Dog, Made Easier
Now Proudly Serving Carlsbad and North County San Diego!
Hi, I’m Pat, owner of Smarty Dog Training.
I am a certified dog trainer with a lifelong passion for dogs and decades of experience training, rescuing and caring for them.
After seven years of helping dogs and their families in Dallas, I am excited to bring my personalized, positive approach to dog training to families in Carlsbad and throughout North County San Diego.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personal approach from a trainer who truly cares about your dog, I’d love to work with you.
Proudly serving Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas, Del Mar and surrounding areas.
