“Raven was so calm and helpful with our anxious dog! She helped give us a outline to help get him confident and expose him to new things in a manner that helped him overcome them. Could not be happier with the training and results!”

“Raven taught our dog several basic commands. She is very professional. We recommend her.”

“Raven is absolutely fantastic! I started basic obedience training with my 10 week old puppy (sessions at my home and daycare at Raven’s) and after just 6 sessions my puppy is so much more manageable and well behaved. After just two sessions with Raven, my puppy was fully crate trained and was easily able to sit, come, and lay down. I highly recommend using Smart Pups Nashville for all of your puppy training needs!!”

“We love Raven!! We hired Raven to watch our 6 month old puppy and 11 year old senior dog while away for 10 days, and there is NO ONE else we would have trusted to do this job.
Having worked with Raven already so much for our puppy’s training, and also knowing Raven’s extensive experience working as a vet tech, we felt confident that she’d be able to provide the level of care both our pups required!
Raven went above and beyond for our fur babies and exceeded every single expectation we had. Between managing our senior dog’s medications to doing his physical therapy walks to ensuring he remained under strict limited activity levels to ALSO perfectly caring for our sweet puppy, she did it all and so much more.
Highly recommend Raven to watch your fur babies while away! Sharing some of the photo updates we got from her while away :)”

“Took great care of our pups while we were away. Very detail oriented and conscientious. Updated us regularly on how they were doing. Highly recommend.”

We focused on loose-leash training with our 6 m/o puppy and Raven has been awesome to work with! She's organized and easy to communicate with. The home visit sessions were productive and I think the value is reasonable for the session lengths (90+ mins) and home convenience. Our final training visit even included her puppy as an "actor". We were with our animal the entire time getting trained right alongside Kylo.

“We did the two board and train with Raven and it could not have gone better for our anxious pup. He struggled with loud noises, sudden noises, and meeting new dogs and over the two weeks she slowly exposed him to all those things and gave us a plan to help continue that work!”
— Jay D.
“We are so happy to have found Smart Pups! We hired Raven to care for our two doodles and housesit while we were out of town. Our pups were so well taken care of, our older dog requires medication multiple times per day and Raven followed our instructions for that as well as the other particulars for their care. She also took amazing care of our home and went above and beyond to ensure everything was kept clean and in order. We trust Smart Pups with future care and highly recommend!”

“Raven was amazing! She was very thoughtful and thorough in her approach with Anna. The email lesson summaries were especially helpful. Anna’s behavior improved in no time and has persisted. Thank you!!”
— Brian R.
“Great experience! Raven made me and my pup feel so comfortable and she walked me through every step! The videos were very informative and helpful! Highly recommend!”
— Jennifer R.
“Raven is absolutely amazing! She took in our 8 month old labradoodle for the basic obedience training. She was so amazing through the whole process by sending pictures and kept us up to date with what they were working on day by day. I feel like when we got our Daisy back she was calmer and happier. She is obeying all commands she was taught and is a much more well behaved dog. She is playing so well with our kids and living life to the fullest. I would recommend Raven to anyone who needs their dog to be trained!”
