Training Method

We train using 1 part correction and 2 parts praise. The "correction" is a yank on a training collar after careful instruction. The "praise" rewards and works with the dog's natural desire to please. Please view the Handler's Manual for more details under Brochures

Our Curriculum

Your dog will learn to obey the following commands, with hand signals, on and off leash:

• HEEL – To walk calmly at your left side, pacing himself to your speed, enjoying the scenery, but paying attention to you.
• AUTOMATIC SIT – To automatically sit at the heel position when you stop.
• SIT – To sit instantly on one command.
• DOWN – To lie down instantly, either near you or from a distance, on one command.
• STAY – To stay in a sitting, lying or standing position on one command.
• COME – To come instantly on one command.
• FINISH – To heel and sit at your left on one command.
• STAND FOR EXAM – To stand motionless while being examined on one command.

Behavior problems such as jumping up, biting, chewing, digging, barking, fighting, separation anxiety, etc. are addressed in class.
Your dog must be at least 6 months old and we recommend that he is current on all vaccinations.

Lifetime Pass!! Once you Graduate this program you will have free passage into ALL future classes I instruct, for the whole life of your dog!!

Each date/time listed for the Group Obedience Class is a separate class and each class will meet once a week for 9 weeks, starting on that date and meeting weekly at that time. $400 per dog. If you enroll 2 dogs you save $50 per dog! Double Dog Discount Deal! =) Go to the registration page to enroll. When you register, please also email me a photo of you and your dog, so I can begin learning your names. Please pre-register for the class you want, and please also choose a 2nd option, just in case your 1st choice class is FULL.

All classes are FULL when 30 students are enrolled. I will reply to your registration by email, and then I will contact you again before classes begin, by email and a phone call.

You may pay the tuition at the first class, or mail a check, or use a card when you register through the website. I will NOT have a card reader at the class. You can also use VENMO at stephanieandbelle@gmail.com

Once classes begin, all students are allowed to attend a different class time, if needed, each week. Ideally I want all students to have perfect attendance, so I encourage you to mix class times and "class hop" to accommodate schedule conflicts that arise now and then! You are also welcome to attend as many classes each week as you want for more practice with your dog!!

Thank you for investing your time, effort and money into this amazing training program.

It is a wise investment that pays wonderful returns! You and your dog will learn to enjoy the freedoms of OFF leash reliability and your bond will be even greater!!

I look forward to helping you!!
