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 small business owner, I have an unyielding devotion to personal integrity and a commitment to task accomplishment. "I don't stop teaching you until you know how to work your dog like I do."

Our Training
The premier O4K9 training program is a 12-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 twelve weekly 1-hour-long sessions. Each session focuses on teaching the teaching and evaluating the owner to build a proper relationship with their dog. The commands and structure taught in the course are as follows:
-
Place
-
Crate
-
Leash Walking
-
Sit
-
Down
-
Come
-
Heel
-
No.
Dog owners learn how to teach their dogs impulse control through the management and structure lessons. This gradual process requires much work, but builds significant trust from dog to owner. Owners also learn how to control their body language and emotion, and recognize their dogs needs, to better communicate and shape their own dog to be as cheerfully attentive, well-behaved, and resilient early on. These principles continue until the dog can enjoy off-leash freedom . A dog should trust their owner enough to enjoy this kind of freedom within bounds.
