a no-force Obedience Training Program
developed by Dr. Mary B Adelman
The Foundation Course
conducted by Master Trainer: Dr. Mary B Adelman
Placement Technique (OPT) method. This humane and efficient method was developed by Dr. Mary B Adelman to obtain
the maximum results with a minimum of stress to the dog and handler. Together we will take you and your dog through
the process of learning to walk on a LOOSE LEAD and teach the SIT, DOWN, STAND, STAY, RECALL, and GO OUT. During
this obedience phase of training the leash will not be held in the hands, nor will the dog be corrected.
The OPT program is a suitable foundation for home use as well as conformation and performance showing. The optimum
age to start training a puppy is between ages 2-4 months, but any age puppy or dog can benefit at any time from the
OPT method and go on to excel in the desired activities.
Classes are offered year round in our modern, air conditioned and heated training facility.
Feel free to call for class scheduling information or for an appointment to evaluate your puppy or dog.
