Tacoma is in Washington, in the Pacific Northwest, where winters are mild and wet, summers are dry and pleasant, and outdoor recreation drives a lot of local business; hours change little through the year. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Tacoma follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

My Golden Shep a Doodle pulled me down requiring 4 stitches. I called Bob Smiths and she was in school the very next day. She is a dream dog. She earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate, she is welcome wherever we go. Bob has many qualified Handlers. If u do the work you wont be left behind. I call him the Dog God for sure

I came to Bob Smith K9 Associates because I was struggling with behavior and aggression issues with my pit bull. From the moment I explained my situation, he was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and willing to help, even knowing I am low income. He truly cares about both the dogs and their owners. He has been patient, kind, and supportive while helping me work on improving my dog’s behavior. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a caring and knowledgeable dog trainer.

I very reluctantly had to admit I didn't know what i was doing when it came to training my GSD MUTT. I called Bob on my way out of town and after explaining that my sweet baby was a jerk that was always trying to eat anyone and anything bob said to let him know when I got back to town and he would see us on a Sunday no less. I got my baby and headed right down to meet Bob. My baby was scared to death as was I. I had heard horror stories about trainers being mean and borderline abusive. NOT BOB! He took time away from other clients just for us. In a matter of 20 minutes Bob had my baby laying beside another pup and not eating anyone or even having a reaction to anyone or anything. Now that we are looking at our 6th session in a few days, I can walk my dog on a leash, give verbal and leash communication and he listens almost every time. Bob is patient, kind, loving, and his philosophy of no dog left behind speaks volumes! I can't recommend him enough! He truly is the magic man!

Bob is incredibly kind and not only trains the dogs but also works with the person holding the leash! We're only three classes in, and we've already seen tremendous progress with our dog. Previously, we couldn't even have our dog in the same room as another dog without him becoming aggressive. Now, thanks to Bob, our dog is calmly sitting and lying down next to other dogs. I never imagined we'd see that day, but Bob made it happen! In every class, he takes the time to thoroughly explain everything and ensures you're learning. I used to have severe anxiety due to my dog's aggressive behavior, but now, because of Bob, I feel confident walking him. My husband and I are incredibly grateful and have nothing but positive things to say. Lastly, it's clear that Bob takes immense pride in his work, and it truly shows.

So far so good! Bob is a very personable man that teaches you to teach your dog to be the best that you can both be. He explains thoroughly what he's doing and why while you are doing the exercises and learning the process. Bob is a fair man that will work with you and your dog to make sure your needs are met and that you can afford the training process. I am currently in training with my 4 month old Cane Corso and he's doing great even after 2 days.
