The DogSmith Dog Training and Dog Behavior Counseling, Behavior Change methods, protocols and philosophies are founded in the science of Applied Behavior Analysis. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the science of controlling and predicting behavior.

• As behavior analysts we reject hypothetical constructs and focus on the observable relationship of the dog's behavior to its environment.
  In scientific theory, particularly psychology, a hypothetical construct is an explanatory variable which is not directly observable. For example, the concepts of intelligence and motivation are used to explain phenomena in psychology, but neither is directly observable. A hypothetical construct differs from an intervening variable in that it has properties and implications which have not been demonstrated in empirical research.
• By functionally assessing the relationship between a problematic behavior and the dog's environment we can effectively and efficiently change unwanted dog behaviors while improving the relationship the owner has with their dog and their shared quality of life.

How does this benefit you? The DogSmith works with each client to develop a behavior change program that meets the client's goals. Our behavior change programs are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and have set timelines.

Meet Bentley! Bentley is currently being fostered by The DogSmith. Bentley is a delightful, 1-year old, registered miniature poodle, house trained and has gone through our 14 day DogSmith Board-and Train program. He is a great little dog, very active and is already enjoying learning dog agility.
Bentley would be best suited to an active home. He is up-to-date on his vaccines and is neutered. If you are interested in Bentley please email us with your contact telephone number.
There is no adoption fee for Bentley but we are dedicated to finding him the best home so there will be an adoption interview process requiring references.

This is the time of year when many families are thinking of bringing a puppy into their home.
Before deciding on a puppy, contact your local DogSmith who will help you evaluate the most suitable breed for your lifestyle.  Your local DogSmith can also help you choose the most suitable dog from a rescue organization.

Prepare your home and plan to train your new family member to coexist happily with the rest of your family. A DogSmith Puppy Pack makes a great gift for the new puppy owner in your life!

Here at the DogSmith we recognize that getting a puppy can be exciting and frustrating. Puppies are delightful, cute, funny and highly entertaining. Unfortunately, they do not come with an owner's manual. We are changing all of that. The DogSmith has developed Puppy Training Programs that provide you with everything you need to train your puppy from “cute and cuddly” through the 'terrible twos” right to “best friend.” The Puppy Pack Puppy Training Programs are designed for puppies from 7 weeks to 6 months of age and establish the foundation for the puppy's entire life.

The 'Puppy Pack' Puppy Training goals include house-training, crate training, bite inhibition (puppy nipping), doggie social skills with people and dogs and some key puppy obedience skills like, 'Sit', 'Down', 'Stand', 'Come', 'Walk nicely', 'let's go', 'leave it', 'name recognition' and 'stay' behaviors.
