What makes a dog
distinct is the relationship that you have shared with them. Every dog that you have loved has
special qualities and is welcome in the Smartydog Hall
of Distinction

What is a smartydog ?
A
smartydog is a dog who has attended class with
Martha Bailey. The phrase was coined by a group of
clients who had taken more than one dog to Marty's
classes. They would refer to the dog at home who
had previously taken classes with Marty as a "smartydog".
Dogs who have not attended classes with Martha are
welcome in our hall of fame

Does a dog have to

Will you take down the hall of fame when you open
the training center
|
| The
Smartydog Hall of Fame represents a lot of truly
wonderful relationships between dogs and their owners, I
love seeing the pictures of those awesome dogs. I
plan to continue to host the hall of fame. I may
even post some of the pictures in the training center. |
Let's be honest Martha, aren't you just begging for
money? |
I'm sure some
people will see it that way, but if they do they probably
don't know me very well. I'm asking for help so
that I can build a training center that offers more than
basic training, one that offers a lot of different ways
to connect and communicate with your dog... more
ways to enhance your relationship with your dog and
improve their quality of life.
|
I'm done donating for this year, can I help by
prepay for my training classes?
|
Absolutely, there
are two conditions
1. Please indicate that you are pre-paying for training
classes.
2. The funds must be used within 18 months as we
wouldn't keep records for this event longer than 18
months.

How
is $20.00 going to help you?
|
Over the last 25
years thousands of dogs have attended our classes, if
people choose to help we will be well on our way to
creating a wonderful place to bring your dog
|
Unfortunately, the training center is too far from my
home to take weekly classes will you be offer any
special events?

It was a very
difficult decision to move away from the Hartford area.
I have made so many dear friends over the years.
So many
clients have brought a puppy to class, gotten married,
had kids and then in time come back to class with a new
puppy.
Their kids have become adults and have brought their
puppies to class.
I feel like a part of so many families. people I care
about deeply.
But let's be
honest, for some people it just won't be convenient
to attend weekly classes in Cheshire.
We plan to offer
regular "one time" events so everyone can come and try
new things with their dogs at the training center.
(People from the Hartford area have come to the center
to help get things ready they were surprised how quickly
they were able to get there.)

Can I donate if I don't want my dog in the Smartydog
Canine Hall of fame?
|
Absolutely,
just indicate that you don't wish to post a photo
