| Methods: The Bedrock Training Method™ by Margot Woods is based on the belief that all dogs – family pets, obedience champions, search-and-rescue teams, assistance and therapy dogs, and every other canine – can benefit from comprehensive basic training. Bedrock Training, or the BT Method, is a fundamental approach to dog training that, in six weeks, can lay a solid foundation in obedience and responsibility that lasts and grows for the lifetime of your dog.
If you are a professional trainer or serious hobby trainer, and want to learn the key elements of Bedrock Training, look into our “Bedrock Essentials” course – an intensive three-day training program.
