Meet the K9s
The Smith Pack
Ice - Belgian Malinois
Hi! My name is Ice, and I'm Carolyn's most favorite dog of all time. This privilege has completely gone to my head, making me the bossiest dog in the Smith Pack! You'll often see me helping out during lessons, acting as a distraction, or demonstrating some of the new skills we're working on with your dog. I'm currently titled in AKC Obedience and the sport of IPO (Schutzhund). I have my AKC CGC, CDX and my IPO BH. I also made my big screen debut in a horror movie titled The Wretched, which was filmed this summer (2018) in Leelanau County.
Favorites: long walks with Carolyn, playing frisbee, chewing on my ball, destroying anything I can get into, being the "Fun Police," and stealing Carolyn's Cheetos or any sweets clients bring her (that I think should actually be for me)
Riot - Belgian Malinois
Hi! I'm Riot and I'm in training to be Ice's replacement as Carolyn's service dog. I'm also getting in shape to compete in disc dog competitions in 2025. When I'm not in training, I live up to my name by brining a level of chaos everywhere I am. I love meeting new people, so if you're not paying attention I may just force a hug on you!
Favorites: frisbee, swimming, harassing Dewey, destruction and general mayhem
Dexter - British Labrador Retriever
I'm Dexter and my color is called Fox Red. I'm the nicest member of the Smith Pack and am head of the Welcoming Committee! You'll get to meet me anytime socializing is involved as I'm the life of the party! I'm retired from bird hunting and am often told I get away with murder these days.
Favorites: swimming, retrieving, eating sticks, chewing sticks, eating more sticks, finding birds
Dewey - Great Dane
Hey there- I'm Dewey! I'm 135 pounds of goofy, perpetually adolescent Dane (even though I'm 7.5 years old now). You'll see me in lessons as a distraction since my size alone is often a lot for most dogs. Sometimes I'm used for socialization; however, I'm not always aware of how big I am.
Favorites: chewing on sticks, playing with my friends, running in the woods, sleeping, listening to myself talk, playing ball, harassing Ice and Riot
Mac - British Lab
Hey there- I'm Mac! I'm one of Shady's daughters. I love to give hugs, cuddle, play with anyone and try to convince anybody who will listen throw the ball for me. You'll see me helping with socialization and acting as a distraction in lessons.
Favorites: chasing the ball, playing with my friends, running in the woods, swimming, snuggling and belly rubs
Fig - Chihuahua
Hi! My name is Fig and I'm the newest addition to the Smith pack. From day one I've fit right in with the big dogs, enjoying long hikes, playing in the snow, wrestling with Riot and joining all of the adventures the big dogs get to go on. I certainly don't know that I'm only 10#!
