FirstBarkWe have trained 4 of our Saint Bernards with FDO over the years and the results have been excellent every time. From basic puppy to more advanced lessons every concept is meticulously broken down and reinforced for a successful result. The facilities and staff at FDO are absolutely the very best in all of the greater Pittsburgh area. I give FDO my hearty and highest recommendation.

About Family Dog Obedience
Our trainer, Val Klein, has been endorsed from the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors and is an evaluator for the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen test. Dog obedience classes are held at: 1698 North Main Street Ext, Butler, PA 16001. The 8,000 sq. ft. facility features dog-activity-friendly flooring and a wide selection of state-of-the-art dog training equipment. Our growth and success are based on referrals from past/present students, friends and family members of those students, and many local veterinarians’ offices, all of which we are extremely grateful for! Attending classes, and learning about dogs and dog behavior make our students “part of the family.”

They told us our dog should not be on the furniture or the bed. We were done. They may be very good for those who think this way.

Val and the team at FDO are superior! I have taken classes elsewhere with my older pups, Val's lessons and teachings are nothing short of incredible! Her experience is second to none and she has a method for any issue that comes up. Working both in person and virtually has been an awesome experience and we certainly plan to continue on to agility and other sports. We have finished complete puppy class and graduate class and I could not be happier with our results! Thank you!
Great experience for our puppy
