The Smart Dog U Blog Offers Even More with New "Home"

We're committed to bringing you the best dog training information -- information that's easy, accessible, useful, and fun. 

Until now, Smart Dog U has had several "homes:" here on the TypePad blog, over at the Smart Dog U website, at our YouTube channel, etc., and we've felt rather scattered.

We put a lot of time into organizing our dog training information, our dog training how-to videos, and our website so that you can find the information you want quickly and easily and without having to visit three different places!

Without further ado, we're unveiling the new website where the Smart Dog U Blog now resides! Here you'll also find our great how-to videos as well as a completely redesigned website that's easier for you to find what you need. 

Over the next several months, we'll be moving all the blog posts over to the new site so you can be sure to find all the articles you've loved here over on the new site. 

Please change your bookmarks to reflect the new site for the Smart Dog U Blog: 

http://smartdoguniversity.com/category/blog/

Come on over and join us, we think you'll really like the changes and will find even more useful dog training ideas!

This site will stay live for a few more months, but no new content will be added. 

Spread the news to your dog friends and let everyone know where to find us at our new digs! See you there!
