Meet your trainer
At Smart Dog Pet Training, owner Glen Kilgore helps dogs and owners build calm, reliable behavior through clear, consistent training. Since 2018, he has worked with families across Salem and surrounding areas using positive reinforcement methods that are effective and easy to follow.
Because every dog is different, training is tailored to your home, your routine, and your goals. As a result, dogs learn faster and respond better in real-life situations.
Whether working in your home or at a local park, Glen focuses on simple communication and practical steps, so you feel confident handling your dog long after training ends.
What people are saying
“Glen is a great trainer. We learned very quickly that we needed training as much as our pup. He was patient with all of us, and it was a great experience. Would do it again without question.”

“Glen is very patient and very reasonably priced. Also it’s very convenient that he does the training in home. It’s so satisfying to see my dog’s behavior improve.”
Zoltan W.
“Glen has been a wonderful trainer to work with. He’s given us many tools that have helped us tame our rowdy boy which has been extremely valuable with having a new baby. We are very happy with his services and would recommend him to anyone who needs a friendly trainer for their fur baby.”
