Smart Paws

Positive, praise-based training

Smart Paws Dog Training and Boarding runs a full-service facility at 5926 St. Rt. 128 in Cleves, OH. The approach is described as "positive, praise-based training" built around "encouragement and praising good behavior" to build trust between owner and dog. Their stated focus covers a wide range of common behavior challenges: play-biting, aggression, recall problems, leash reactivity, jumping, excessive barking, and separation anxiety — so the programs aren't just basic obedience but extend into behavior work.

A family-run, all-breeds operation

The business markets itself as "Family-Owned For Over 10 Years" and welcomes "All Breeds. All Sizes. All Welcome." Alongside training, Smart Paws offers boarding and daycare, making it a one-stop option for owners who want training and care under one roof. A trainer named Tom appears in client testimonials, though a full staff biography isn't laid out on the main page. The site leans into a few strong promises — "NEVER Any Add-On Charges Or Hidden Fees" and "Lifetime Guaranteed Results" — which are worth clarifying directly when you inquire. With active testimonials, blog content, and a newsletter, the business presents as established and current. Reach them at 513-572-7297 for program details.
