Testimonials

Many thanks to our wonderful dog trainer Dawn Graham Lowery, she has really helped Gibson become a great dog at home with his family and at work with his extended family. He is a lucky dog who gets to go to work with his mom and yes he loves to say hi to the clients:)
For the past 5 years, I have had the opportunity to work with Dawn on a professional level and have seen the success stories. Now as a client, I continue to be so impressed with her knowledge and skill as a trainer and most of all her ability to relate to dogs in a positive way. Dawn has always supported both Gibson and his family along the way, from puppy training to family dog intermediate classes. She has trained Gibson both inside and outside the home, as well as at the animal hospital. She has really helped him conquer his fear of the unknown and of course those moving objects (cars, bikes and motorcycles) he loved to chase…he no longer does:) We are very grateful to have Dawn be apart of Gibson’s care. As both a veterinarian and a dog owner I highly recommend Dawn and One Smart Dog!

We hired Dawn as a personal dog trainer when we adopted our Shepard Mix a few months ago. As soon as she walked in the house we all felt a sense of calm. She listened to all of our concerns and was able to give us reassurance! After just an hour with her we received a number of effective strategies for training the new pup. She even responded quickly with our emergency e-mails after the training was over. We loved working with Dawn so much we decided to bring our dog to One Smart Dog’s obedience class. It has been only a few short weeks and are so impressed with the changes in Marni. While she is not perfect, she looks to us for commands and listens so much better! We promise you will have a wonderful experience with Dawn and One Smart Dog!

All I can say is that your will not regret going with One Smart Dog for your obedience training. My 9 Month old Pitbull Harvey has completed Puppy Pre-School, Family Dog Basic Manners, and is currently enrolled in Family Dog Intermediate (CGC Prep) and I am blown away about how quick I started seeing results. Dawn is a phenomenal instructor and shows a true passion for what she does and she is always available to answer questions outside of class.   I searched for a long time to find a training style that i wanted for my Pit and One Smart Dog was the perfect match…You will not be disappointed with the results.

My dog Franklin and I loved our experiences with One Smart Dog and Dawn. We started with puppy class and enjoyed it so much we ended up also taking family basic, intermediate, and reliable recall. Franklin just passed his CGC test and I am so proud of him!! Dawn was very helpful and the classes were kept to a small and intimate amount of dogs and owners – great job and strongly recommend!!
