Dogs as Best Friends and Adventure Buddies
Ready to enter your good dog era?
We are a woman-owned training & boutique boarding in Central Oregon. Our trainers are lifelong dog owners with experience not only with dogs, but with a wide range of animals.
From adventure-ready companions to cozy couch partners, we train dogs to thrive in real-life situations: think Phil’s Trail, The Lot, NWX, Box Factory, the Old Mill —you name it.
Our mission? To help you and your dog enjoy everything Central Oregon has to offer—together. Even if that means relaxing side by side after an epic ski day, we'll make sure your dog has the skills to be on your team.
We believe your dog should be part of your memories, outings, and milestones. Let’s make it happen.
Joyann McNee is the head trainer at Smith Rock K9. She is well-known in Central Oregon for her work on reactivity cases. After several years training as a contractor, Joyann branched off and founded Smith Rock K9 in the summer of 2024. Joyann continues to work with anxious dogs, specializing in Board-and-Trains at her home in Redmond, Oregon. Joyann feels lucky to have so many returning clients and always appreciates referrals!
