About Smart Dogs Training & Lodging

<h2>Board and train on five acres in Downers Grove</h2>

<p>The about page opens &ldquo;We are Ian and Kristy Dilworth, owners of Smart Dogs Training and Lodging,&rdquo; and describes the business as &ldquo;a unique, state-of-the-art, Dog Resort located on 5 acres in Downers Grove, Illinois.&rdquo; The core program is an &ldquo;immersion-style &lsquo;Board and Train&rsquo; training program within our loving home setting&rdquo; &mdash; the page is explicit that this is their own home, not a kennel: &ldquo;This is our home, our life and we&rsquo;re on a mission.&rdquo;</p>

<h3>What is offered</h3>

<p>Alongside board and train they offer &ldquo;In-Your-Home&rdquo; training, which the home page describes as private lessons for a dog with a behavior problem that needs one-on-one attention. The site says they work with &ldquo;all ages, breeds, sizes and behaviors&rdquo; and names potty training, barking, jumping and aggression among the issues they take on. Luxury dog boarding is sold separately as a &ldquo;Dog Bed and Breakfast.&rdquo; The advertised starting point is a free phone consultation.</p>

<h3>Credentials and experience the site claims</h3>

<p>The about page states: &ldquo;We are both members of ASPCA, ADPT and IACP, as well as CPDT-KA certified.&rdquo; It credits Ian, listed as Owner/Master Trainer, with &ldquo;over 15 years&rdquo; working with dogs of all ages, breeds and temperaments, and describes Kristy, also listed as Owner/Master Trainer, as welcoming &ldquo;the challenge of a dog owner at their wits end.&rdquo; The site also lists in-home training options outside Illinois, in Naples, Florida and Kansas City, and sells two training books.</p>
