Street Dog Rehab
Rene Smith
I’m a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant (CCBC-KA) with nearly a decade of hands-on experience, especially with aggressive and high-risk dogs. I’m also a veteran, a parent, and someone who’s neurodivergent—so I come at problem-solving a little differently, with an eye toward what actually works in real life.
I help dog owners cut through the noise and build routines that stick, even when things feel messy or emotionally loaded. I believe learning is a process, not a performance—and whether you’re making progress or just showing up, that effort matters. My goal is always the same: help people understand their dogs, make solid choices, and move forward with confidence. No fluff, just clarity, compassion, and a touch of humor where it fits.
