About
My name is Blake Marretta
I am a United States Marine Corps Veteran, having served eight years. Beginning in 2015, I learned from both Marine corps and civilian Dog handlers, and have worked numerous dogs of varying breeds, age and size. As a marine and a small business owner,
I have an unyielding devotion to personal integrity and a commitment to task accomplishment. "I don't stop working your dog until you know how to work them like I do."

Our Training
The premier O4K9 training program is a 10-week Intensive that uses Blake's "Molding Method" to teach dogs not only to conform to the standard, but to love it. Unlike positive-enforcement-only methods, the Molding Method requires much diligence on the part of the dog's owner but ensures that the training is long-lasting and effective.
Overview
The program consists of ten weekly 1-hour-long sessions. Each session focuses on teaching the dog new commands and evaluating the progress of old commands. The commands taught in the course are as follows:
-
Sit
-
Down
-
Come
-
Heel
-
Place
-
Off.
Each new command the dog learns is designed to build upon the last. Dogs learn patience and attentiveness early on through the first three commands (Sit, Down, and Come); the next two commands (Heel and Place) further establish these principles. Additionally, each of the above commands are taught both in proximity to and at distance from the dog; this teaches the dog to obey when it is nearby as well as when it is at a distance
