Hello! My name is Sandy and I have started South Metro Dog Training, Inc. as a second career. Prior I had 20+ years of law enforcement experience, ranging from patrol, narcotics investigator, crime scene, and supervision.
I grew up around dogs, and my entire adult life, I've owned at least one dog.
I have experience assisting with Police K-9's bite work, scent work and tracking. I volunteer at a local rescue and have had the opportunity to work with fear, aggression, containment and obedience issues.
I have a Masters Degree from Hamline University in Public Administration. I have a diploma from the Catch Canine Academy in core dog training skills, as well as I am a certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.
Dog training is very rewarding, but what makes it the most rewarding are the clients that do the work. I can come and work with your dog and teach him/her obedience once a week, but if it isn't reinforced everyday by the owner, it doesn't work. Clients who don't do the work in between sessions are wasting their money. Give me a call if you're serious about making your dog a better version of themselves.
Skills covered are sit, down, touch, name recognition, recall, leave it, drop it, off, door manners, no jumping, appropriate things to chew on, kennel training, loose leash walking and potty training if needed.
Often times it is best to send the dog to at least two weeks of training.
Skills taught are basics with distractions, heeling etc
Behavior modification if your dog has resource-guarding tendencies towards, food, toys, or people.
If your dog has aggression towards other dogs, this package is for you. We will expose your dog to safe interactions with other dogs, and provide you with realistic expectations and management tools.
This package is for dogs with human aggression, not just resource-guarding. We will work to build a rapport, in a safe manner, and provide your dog with safe exposure to people. We will provide you with realistic expectations and goals and management tools.
These packages include lifetime support for the dog, with complimentary phone, email and text consultation. After every package is complete the owner will receive a demonstration on the skills the dog has learned and how to continue with the training to be successful. Ask about a rescue discount, if your dog is from the humane society and/or a rescue.
SMDT is staffed from 6 am -9 pm every day.
Your dog will be treated as if it is part of the family with play time, outside time, and cuddle time. Dogs are only in the kennel if they need a break or are dog aggressive.
$60 a night.
$45 a night if more than 4 nights are booked.

Support for the life of the dog via email, text, or phone for advice.
The owner! Dog trainers can start a dog with a solid foundation but if the owner doesn't maintain consistency and put in the work, the dog will revert back to old undesirable behavior.
The truth is not many dogs actually make approved service dogs. It all depends on what you need the dog to do. Often times therapy dogs vs service dogs are used interchangeably. This isn't accurate. Often times a dog can be a therapy dog and not a service dog.
Dogs enjoy mental stimulation. This is a good way for your dog to use his skills and a fun way for the owner to interact with his/her dog.
