About Family Dog Obedience

Our trainer, Val Klein, has been endorsed from the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors and is an evaluator for the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen test. Dog obedience classes are held at: 1698 North Main Street Ext, Butler, PA 16001. The 8,000 sq. ft. facility features dog-activity-friendly flooring and a wide selection of state-of-the-art dog training equipment. Our growth and success are based on referrals from past/present students, friends and family members of those students, and many local veterinarians’ offices, all of which we are extremely grateful for! Attending classes, and learning about dogs and dog behavior make our students “part of the family.”

I attended the place last year when my dog was a puppy.i honestly didn't do good with the hybrid nature of the class. It was kinda hard to correct mistakes that I had made when only going based off the email's instructions with only the 3 in person classes.the instructor was good when in the in person classes. very knowledgeable and helped with using alternatives to certain types of collars/leashes when the one wasn't working/helping. If you struggle learning online/on your own this is not the class for you. Also if you have an older puppy(around 5/6/7months) I definitely would recommend going somewhere else because it's mostly young puppies going to this class.

We can't begin to thank Val and FDO enough! When we got a terrier mix puppy, we certainly had our work cut out for us with training him, but Val has been there for us every step of the way. We took our boy through Puppy School and Graduate Puppy School, and the material and instruction was very thorough and easy to follow. We also did private lessons with Val, and they've made all the difference as our puppy moved into and through different (and sometimes difficult) developmental phases. Thanks to FDO, we have learned so much! Not only is Val extraordinarily knowledgeable, but she truly cares about the dogs and families she works with - and it shows.
