Smiley's Dogs
CERTIFIED DOG TRAINER IN BEND, OREGON
Services
Newly Adopted Dogs
The early days with a newly adopted dog can be challenging, especially if the dog is unsure or scared in a new environment. Compassionate and consistent training helps your dog adjust and also fosters a strong bond between you. Patience and positive reinforcement are key to building trust and confidence.
Virtual Training
Training at home can help your dog feel more relaxed and secure, especially if they are shy or anxious. Virtual training makes it easy for all family members to participate and allows you to schedule sessions that fit your schedule.
Puppy Packages
Puppy training is a crucial process that establishes a strong foundation for you and your dog. We will cover all the essentials: socialization, house training, cooperative care, and the basics such as "sit," "down," and "come."

WELCOME!
My name is Lisa Smiley
Dogs have been a central part of my life, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have shared my home with such wonderful—and sometimes challenging—companions. The lessons I’ve learned from them are countless, and now I feel a deep desire to help others connect with their dogs in meaningful ways.
Our understanding of dogs has evolved tremendously. We now recognize their cognitive abilities, emotions, individuality, and genetics in ways that were unimaginable even 20 years ago. I’m passionate about sharing this knowledge with you, to foster a deeper bond and create the most fulfilling relationship between you and your beloved dog.
I’m a graduate of the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior (VSA-CDT) and a Certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM). My philosophy focuses on educating dog guardians on how to meet both their needs and their dog’s needs and develop the kind of relationship that is joyful, compassionate, and fun!
I’d love to help you and your dog! Please get in touch with me for a free 30-minute consultation.
