Basic & Advanced Training

This interactive hands on course is designed to get your dog started on his or her way to over all obedience. We practice the following over a 5 week time frame: heel, sit, sit-stay, down, down-stay, come, off, and leave it. All training at MMK is affection based, meaning we don't use treats to reward our dogs! Positive reinforcement when a dog does a good behavior, and PROPER correction when the dog does a negative behavior. 

When we talk about BEHAVIORAL issues we need to look at the pets past, and present surroundings and ask the questions, Why does my dog behave like this? Is there a medical issue we haven't noticed? Is my family in an immediate danger? Or any other questions you may have.

We also offer private one on one training that is scheduled to fit YOUR day. With private training you and your dog get the all the benefits of our classes but with the convenience of working on your time schedule. You can receive puppy training or basic & advanced training in Belgrade, Bozeman and the surrounding areas. To schedule a consultation please contact us today!

We offer puppy orientations in private sessions. Whether it's your first puppy or your first puppy in years, we're here to answer all of your puppy questions!

This is more of personalized class for the owner and dog but in a class room setting or private if you wish. We can work on what you want out of your dog. Think, I wish my dog would... Call for more details.

We have enjoyed every minute. Our pups are happy when we walk on aleash now that they know what we expect. You are a good teacher and keep up the good work. - S. Bayless 

The basic obedience class was worth every penny! It was amazing to see the improvement in the dogs from week to week. Ron definitely has a gift! 

- Jenny W.

I have found the classes most beneficial and efficient. Most useful tool was having my dog walk close to me without pulling and having control when walking together.

Thanks for a great training experience with Bella. Affection based training has made a difference in our whole household especially our slightly overweight, oldest dog. I can't wait for you to meet our other dogs. My whole perspective on training has changed for the better.

- Stephanie G.

The improvement in Meg's behavior over the course of these classes has been remarkable. Because she is an "only" dog, she has had a fear of other, strange dogs. This class and the regular pack walks have helped her learn to be around other dogs without freaking out...

- Keith C.

I really enjoyed the class. My dog is more manageable and I feel I can take him anywhere and he will be under control. The outdoor lesson was the best. All the distractions were a real test of his training. I think the world will be a safer place for him. Thanks so much!
