About Dog Gone Smart Dog Training LLC
Obedience and behavior basics
Dog Gone Smart Dog Training in Akron is run by Zach Foster, listed as an AKC Certified Dog Trainer and AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. The site covers a solid range of obedience commands (come, sit, down, stay, place, heel, wait, go, off) and behavioral issues including aggression, leash pulling, destructive behaviors, anxiety, and fear, and offers AKC Canine Good Citizen testing. Foster is described as working hands-on with all breeds, ages, and temperaments.
What the site doesn't say
The page is fairly thin on operational detail. It does not state a specific training philosophy or methodology, nor does it spell out program formats (in-home, facility, board-and-train, or group classes) or a specific number of years in business beyond "years of experience working hands on." The AKC credentials and clear list of what the trainer addresses are the most concrete takeaways; prospective clients would want to ask about session format and approach when reaching out.
Behavior modification for unwanted or problem habits.
AKC / CGC Testing
AKC title testing: CGC, Trick Dog and Star Puppy evaluations.

Zack was great with our Siberian Kusky puppy Kato. He taught us a lot. And we have a better behaved dog because of it. We certainly recommend Zach for your dog train needs.

Zach came to our house, our dogs were too aggressive to go in public. One more than the other. Big German Shepherd that were fighting to kill each other. No need to say that Zach didn't seem to be afraid but really he could have been bit easily. After the first visit, both dogs were behaving quite different. After the 3rd visit, we had hope and no longer need to get rid of one of them. It's been a while since he trained them but thanks to him, we have two fantastic dog we adore. We highly recommend his service!

Zak has been working with Finn the last few weeks. Finn has become much better behaved thanks to training and suggestions made by Zak. I would definitely recommend his service.

Zack, took my pitbull and with his help he now walks on a leash with out pulling. We have learned the sit and stay. We've also learned place when he's told to go somewhere and sit without getting up. Zach is an excellent trainer and I recommend him for anyone who's looking to have their dog trained. He's very understanding and answers all your questions. He's also available if you have questions after you've had your training he's still there for you. I recommend dog gone smart and Zack to anyone looking to train their dog five stars

My dog is 3 years old, stubborn and has a high prey drive. After 5 at-home sessions with Zach, she's (and I) learned so much and is listening so well. Zach is patient and his methods are easy to implement everyday and anywhere. I'm so thankful and happy to have found him.
