Smarter than your Dog STYD

Best Daycare/Boarding EVER! My pup has been going to STYD since she was 4 months old. Now at 3 years, this is her home away from home. She is so well cared for and I am able to enjoy my time away from her knowing she is in the best of hands!

I take my dog here for day care once a week. He absolutely has the best time and always comes home completely exhausted. Every person who works at smarter thank your dog loves and cares about the animals that come in here. My dog is always happy when we drop him off and he’s always happy and tired when we pick him up. It’s a great place for him to get good structured dog socialization skills!

I have 2 whippet puppies and started taking them to day care as soon as they were old enough. STYD did a wonderful job of assessing their needs and aligning them with a pack that would work best for them. I just went on a trip for my son’s wedding and we boarded the puppies for the first time. I was able to enjoy the trip because of the fabulous care and communication they provided. I called everyday and they were so understanding. They also provided report cards on how they were doing with pictures. Every person I’ve interacted with at STYD has been fabulous. This is the only place I would trust with my puppies.

Before the puppies I use to take my greyhound to STYD. Unfortunately he passed away. So my comments with STYD has been for the care they provided for 2 years, first with a mature greyhound and now the puppies.

Smarter Than Your Dog provided last minute boarding so that we could coordinate and attend a quickly pulled together wedding for a family member. It was a bit of a scramble but Kelly accommodated my continually changing schedule and provided excellent care for our dog who has, in the past, only stayed with family members. I was sent emails, pictures and a report card explaining how she was doing! I highly recommend Smarter Than Your Dog and and so appreciate how well our sweet pup was cared for in our absence. Thank you!!!!

I took my Rough Coat Collie in to be groomed today. We have never been there before (our previous groomer passed away). She looks STUNNING! She needed quite a bit of work done- the staff was non judgmental, kind, caring, and compassionate. I'm so thankful for the wonderful job they did, and I'm so fortunate to have found a team of amazing people to take care of my sweet girl.

We have been taking Sunshine to Smarter than your Dog since she was a about 5 months old. We are first time dog owners and on a whim we stopped in there one day to see what it was about. The staff is wonderful. They loved Sunny instantly and it was the start of something beautiful. Over a year later and Sunny goes to camp every Monday. And she will tell you what day it is, Monday's are her favorite! She comes home at the end of it and puts herself to bed- she gets so exhausted from running with her pack! We love Smarter than your Dog. It gives our girl the chance to just dog-out. I trust the staff and love how much they love the dogs. As a bonus, we can get her nails done whenever she needs them trimmed-rhe onsite groomer makes life so easy!! I will say, that I am likely the random person who saw you walking your pup and recommended this business. I make a point of it because they have been so good for our dog. Try it out, can't hurt and your dog may love you even more!!

I have been bringing my dog Luke to STYD for a year now. I really appreciated how Kelly took the time to figure out what days Luke would mix well with the other dogs due to their individual personalities. Luke LOVES going to daycare and he leaves tired every time. The staff communicates well with me should they notice anything out if the ordinary in Luke’s behavior or if there is anything I need to keep an eye on. It is a great feeling to be able to leave Luke and never worry about him. I know that he is being well taken care of by the staff and he’s having a great time playing with his four legged friends! We are moving soon and STYD has set the bar very high for me to find another place for Luke.

We had a family emergency and found ourselves needing to board our dog. Our sweet, but shy, rescue pup had not previously been boarded before. I was nervous but each staff member I encountered from our meet and greet, dropping off, and picking up at STYD was so kind and understanding. I felt like they truly cared about the well-being of our dog and calming my nerves. I would definitely recommend their boarding services.

I highly recommend! Smarter than your dog is fantastic. My puppy is super excited to spend the day with “his pack”, I get piece of mind knowing he’s well taken care of and he’s all tuckered out at the end of the day. They do an exceptional job, especially in these unusual times, balancing friendly customer service and high quality experience with solid health and safety protocols.

My boys are my babies. I do not just trust anyone with Peterson and Rover so going on a all day trip to an island was a difficult decision to make because we know they would do best not on a few boats. We are from Florida and here for vacation. We stumbled across Smarter Than Your Dog. From the very first day I booked, the owners have been nothing but so kind and extremely loving. They called me two seconds after I booked to talk for about twenty minutes. This morning when we dropped them off, the staff showed us around the property (even behind closed doors) which NEVER happens. They didn’t get annoyed when I called throughout the day and they even gave me a call. They sent pictures and the cutest report cards. I am SO proud of my babies and hope they enjoyed their “day off” from us 💙💚

With out a doubt the best boarding facility for our three dogs that I have ever encountered. The people are kind professional and very knowledgeable. Dylan is a wealth of knowledge and great with our pups.
I will and have 100% recommended “Smarter than your dog” to anyone and everyone asking about our experience or looking for a temporary boarding for their pets.
Dylan a special thanks to you for making this process seamless and easy.

This place is absolutely amazing! If you're like me and don't trust your dog with just anyone then you'll love smarter than your dog. You can tell that the dogs they groom are more then just work to them, they take the time and effort needed to insure my dog is comfortable and as stress free as possible😊 They also offer an excellent daycare and boarding!

I take both dogs twice a week and they know full well when it's a Monday or Thursday. I appreciate staff flexibility if needing to switch days and appreciate hearing the "report card" on details of the day. Confident with all staff members that my dogs are in very good care when they are there. Have been a customer for over three years and would not know what to do with out them!

So far I am super impressed with the staff, cleanliness of the rooms, organized, and my dog came home happy. I wish I didn't have to wait a month for her to attend 2 times a week since our dog is a seasoned daycare dog, but I am happy to have found her pack.

The groomers at Smarter than your Dog were really great, working us into their schedule and giving our two dogs one of the best nail trim & grinds they've ever had. We also very happy with STYD's emphasis on health and safety of the dogs and people. Thank you! We will be back!

Great doggy day care center. Our dog loves going there!

Kelly and the crew at Smarter Than Your Dog are the best. My dog is always well cared for, and their customer service is excellent. They take the time to understand my dogs’ needs and are really good and understanding dog behaviors. I know I can trust them with my dog any time!

Smarter Than Your Dog is fantastic! My dog
Loves it there! Their staff have great attention to detail and really give the dogs lots of love. My dog gets great play time and socialization with her buddies when she is there. So glad we have this in our town!

My dog has been coming here for daycare since he was four months old, and he's five now.

He LOVES his time at STYD. He always races in and never looks back. At night he comes home relaxed and tired. :)

I know that he is having safe play time with other dogs and staff.

The staff is AMAZING. They watch after your dog as if he/she is their own. They are caring, professional, and kind.

We also use the grooming services on a regular basis. I can honestly say that my dog has never looked better. Both Tierra, and now Jess are phenomenal.

I also have used the boarding services, and again, I never worry about leaving my dog in their care.

The facilities are CLEAN and newer, and I know that the owners are always on top of things to make sure everything runs smoothly and our dogs are safe, comfortable, and happy.

We are lucky to have STYD in our little community, and I would never hesitate to recommend them!

A tired pup is a happy pup ❤💙
If the work week is hard on your dog... this is the absolute best place to take them! They will play from 7:30am to 5:30pm and come home exhausted! My dog gets out of his head excited when he figures out where we are going! Very safe and happy place to keep your bored pup happy! Worth every penny 😍
