About Smiles Dog Training

What they offer

Smiles Dog Training works with pet parents across the Phoenix metro area. It specializes in dogs that pull, lunge or bark on leash, growing families with dogs and children, multi-dog household conflict, shy, fearful and aggressive behavior, and dogs recently adopted from shelters.

Programs

Once a family is accepted, the team schedules a virtual behavior consultation. From there the options are a private coaching program of training and behavior modification, a training and wellness audit for owners who are stuck, and a VIP concierge program with private in-home day training sessions and coaching for owners short on time. The site says the consultation may also lead to a referral for veterinary support where needed.

Approach

The site describes a positive reinforcement approach with no harsh methods or tools, and a focus on enrichment and the dog's overall wellbeing. The team is led by Sara Miles, CPDT-KA.
