My name is Patti Engleman and I am the owner/instructor at Bell Creek Agility & Obedience. I founded Bell Creek on March 3, 2016, because I wanted to be able to teach the way I train, by having fun at both ends of the leash.
At Bell Creek we believe every team is unique and offers different challenges, but that training should be a positive journey for both the dog and the handler. We believe in a balanced training program that involves positive shaping of the behavior we want and verbal markers to direct dogs. We believe in breaking down what is being asked of the our dogs, so they can get it right as well as helping to build their confidence and trust in us. Our classes are small to ensure that all teams receive the help we need.
We believe in giving not only dogs, but students the tools that they need to be successful as a team. We love watching the growth of our teams as well as the bond that can only be developed when learning to work your own dog. Our students teach their own dogs because we want our students to have those skills for their next dog, but also so they can experience the deepened bond and trust that comes on a journey together.
