About BCL Dog Training

What they offer

BCL Dog Training in Joshua Tree describes reward-based, balanced training built on balance, consistency and love. Its options are private lessons, group classes, board and train and a modified board and train.

Classes

The AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy foundation obedience class meets weekly for six weeks and covers sit, down, recall, bite inhibition, crate and house training, leash pressure and controlled socialization, ending with an evaluation for the S.T.A.R. Puppy certificate. An eight-week group class prepares dogs for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test, offered at the end of the course, and an advanced obedience class follows.

Modified board and train

In the six-week modified program, dogs are dropped off for lessons three times a week and go home in between, working on full on-leash obedience, mild behavior problems such as jumping, mouthing and pulling, and out-and-about training.

The trainer

The site quotes Kristin Raymond as training dogs for over 20 years and serving as an evaluator for the American Kennel Club.
