Great Question! Any Joe Schmo can call themselves a dog trainer....but how can you really believe what their doing and saying is right?

Taylor Barconey and Jiovany Alcaide are both CPDT-KA certified through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT), Accredited Dog Trainers (IAABC-ADT) through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), and Fear Free Animal Trainers through Fear Free Pets. They strictly adhere to the most humane and scientifically up-to-date methods of training. For more information on these particular certifications, visit the bar on the bottom of the screen and click each icon of each respective organization!

Smart Bitch strongly believes in continuing their education in their field, as dog training is a forever growing field. With these organizations that they are a part of (CCPDT, IAABC & Fear Free), they are required to continue their education, but also find it imperative to do so on their own. Your Smart Bitches are smart... and want to keep it that way!

If you are local... we come to you! Typically, most private training sessions will occur at your home....but if want to train somewhere more exciting, we've been known to frequent the park, the French Quarter, dog-friendly stores, coffee shops, and an occasional bar. You name the place and we'll tell you if its possible!

Our service area is no more than 15 miles outside of the Treme, New Orleans 70116! If you live 15 miles outside of that location, ie Slidell, Convington, Laplace, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Belle Chase, and etc, we recommend doing Virtual Training with us instead!

TWO! Smart Bitch works as a pair so you'll be getting TWO Certified Professional Dog Trainers for ONE price!

Dog training is a process that will require you to keep up your side of the bargain. Since our training is wholy dependent on the dog's performance and pace, we will not offer any guarentees as that is completely unreasonable, and we are not fortune tellers. We are, however, extremely confident that you will be delighted with the results and have a complete understanding on what makes your dog tick.

All sales are final and we do not offer refunds, unless due to extenuating circumstances.

Yes! Just like any other professional service, we require that all clients sign our Training Service Agreement to make sure you know exactly what you're getting into with us! For those who also utilize our S.M.A.R.T. sessions, there is an additional agreement which includes a Veterinary Authorization Release Form in the event of a medical emergency. But never fear! These agreements aren't scary, and we invite you to check them out! Just click the following links below to peep our "fine print:".
