Dog Trainer US

I have had three dogs trained by Kristi and her team and there is no one else that I would trust my dogs to for training and care when they are puppies. My dogs absolutely love going there as it was built with dogs in mind. The entire staff is loving and knows how to care for the dogs. One of my dogs is trained to help me as I am deaf, and I don’t know what I would do without him. I have continued to rely on Kristi and her team for help over 11 years and they are definitely the best. I have recommended them to several of my friends who have felt the same way. Thank you to the whole team and especially Kristi.

I have been blessed with a Service Dog, Ashley Girl, who was provided to me from a benevolent organization. My Service Dog assists me in mitigating specific disabilities which were a result of 8 deployments while assigned to a Special Operations unit. The organization had unlimited resources and frankly could have chosen ANY trainer in the entire Country. Fortunately, for me they chose who without a doubt I would classify as one of our Country’s Dog best trainers, Kristi Smith, Volunteer Mentor with Dog Trainer, U.S.! Her ability to task train Service Dogs is second to none. She does it better, faster, and most importantly with better results than just about everyone else. The profound impact that my Kristi Smith, Volunteer Mentor with Dog Trainer, U.S. trained Service Dog has had on my li

We feel incredibly blessed to have found Kristi and Dog Trainer US. She has trained 2 of our dogs at her bootcamp and the training we have received has been outstanding... well beyond our expectations. All the bad puppy habits are gone but the confidence, enthusiasm and personality remain. Kristi is extremely knowledgable and is gifted in her field. Her group classes are so much fun, well run and very accessible. She is incredibly generous with the way in which she offers continuing training after the more formal initial training. It is so worth it!! I have gone on to train one dog in bird hunting and the other in agility and because of this initial training all other training in hunting and agility has been a breeze. All of her on site trainers are friendly, professional and outstanding

Harley and I joined Dog Trainer U.S. in 2020. I'm happy to share how far Harley and I have come since then. We have passed all three canine good citizens tests as well as the PAT test (Public Access test). Through boot camp, private sessions and group classes with Kristi Smith and her amazing trainers, Harley and I have learned and accomplished many skills. My experience with Dog Trainer U.S. has and continues to be phenomenal. If you are looking for the best of the best training for you and your pups I highly recommend.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Kristi and her staff! Without their training and guidance Beacon, our beloved pup, would not be the same. Best money we ever spent was investing in Beacon’s training with this team. Beacon gets compliments from strangers all the time on how well behaved he is, something we cannot take credit for. The group classes are such a value to be able to continue training with real life distractions of other dogs and groups of people. Beacon absolutely loves the staff and has the best time while boarding, puts our minds at ease knowing he is not only somewhere safe but also having fun! There is no one else we would trust our pup with.
