Hearts and Paws had its modest beginnings in our home. We started there with small dog boarding and training as well as teaching classes in different areas around Austin. Diana helped develop the training programs for the volunteers at Town Lake Animal Shelter and the SPCA during that time. Our business has remained a family based business because it started with one family, the Smith Pack, who loved teaching others about the wonderful world of dogs. As our family grew and added on new families, it was time for Hearts and Paws to move to a bigger house. Hearts and Paws has now teamed up with Happy Tails Pet Resort, which is the new home of Hearts and Paws Training. We are really excited about the future of Hearts and Paws with Happy Tails and can't wait to share what the Smith Pack plans to do in 2011!
