About Destiny Dog School
Group classes with a titling focus
Destiny Dog School in Steubenville is built around group instruction, which the school favors "for the socializing factor" while still offering optional individual attention. Lead trainer Lorrie Raymond is listed with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and as a Certified AKC Evaluator, with Jim Raymond helping in class and Katie Dudak handling private training by appointment.
A path from puppy to titles
The curriculum leans toward AKC and obedience-sport goals: basic, novice, and rally obedience, conformation, fun agility, plus Canine Good Citizen and Star Puppy training and certification, with CGCA available for dogs ready to advance. There's also a community and therapy-dog angle, with dogs participating in visits to nursing homes, schools, and parades. Classes run out of a facility at 166 Old State Route 7, and private training is by appointment only. The site doesn't spell out a specific training methodology, but the AKC-evaluator credential and emphasis on titling, socialization, and certifications make this a solid fit for owners who want structured group classes and a route into AKC activities rather than one-on-one behavior rehab.
