Smokey Oaks K9 - Dog Training Service - York, SC
My name is Justine and I am the Owner/Trainer of Smokey Oaks K9. We are a small training company located in York, SC. Although Smokey Oaks was just founded this year, I have been training dogs for the last 15 years. After moving to the Carolinas from California last year, I decided 2020 was the year for me start my own business!
I believe that dog training is all about creating engagement and forging a bond with your dog. Nothing beats having a relationship with your dog that is founded on trust, understanding, structure, and consistency. I want my dog to work for me because he WANTS to work for me!
I want to help you build a better bond and understanding with your dog through foundational obedience, confidence building, and structure. I believe that many issues with dogs can be addressed by going back to the foundations and working with the dog on impulse control and better decision making skills.
My goal is to teach your dog how to learn and you how to train!
