Evan Smith is the owner and head trainer of Scarlet K9 Dog Training. He is known for teaching dog training methods to both pet owners and other dog trainers, and for his proficiency in hands-on training with various dog types. Scarlet K9’s training philosophy is centered around understanding the dog’s behavior by asking detailed questions about problem behaviors, when and where they occur, and the dog’s history (e.g., rescue status, history with other dogs/people). This approach helps explain why a dog behaves a certain way, allowing for a customized training plan based on the dog’s problems and the owner’s lifestyle.

Scarlet K9 specializes in dog behavior beyond just obedience, focusing on foundational changes in how owners live with their dogs to positively change the dog’s mindset. They offer various training programs including virtual lessons, board and train, day and train, and in-home programs for both adult dogs and puppies. They also provide dog boarding services.

For their Board & Train and Day & Train programs, Scarlet K9 takes only a few dogs at a time to ensure undivided attention and a family-like living environment. They offer ongoing support from the trainer after program completion for certain programs.
