About
Hi, my name is Bella Gaudette. I started training dogs in 1984 when we got our first family dog. My husband saw an ad in a local paper for dog training classes and suggested that I take our new pup. Little did he know what he had started!!! I have had the pleasure of owning and showing Border Collies since 1992. We currently share our home with three Border Collies - Skye, Bannock, and Scotty (our newest addition). Skye, at age 11, is now retired and enjoying life on our farm taking care of our sheep. Before Skye retired, he earned titles in Obedience, Herding and Agility. Bannock has almost completed his breed championship and has earned both AKC and UKC Utility Dog titles. Bannock has also started accumulating points toward his AKC Obedience Trial Championship. Scotty, our puppy, has started his training for obedience and conformation and as he gets older will begin learning agility and herding. I began teaching classes as a member of E-town Dog Training Club until they dissolved. Dr. Brown with Helmwood Vet Clinic then asked if I would consider teaching classes at his clinic and my business has grown from there. I firmly believe that a well trained dog is a happy dog because they know what their rules are and they are afforded so much more freedom to share in our lives when they are well behaved. I believe that the amount of love in a relationship is directly affected by the degree of obedience in that relationship. The Bible teaches us that, “this is Love, that we walk in obedience to His command” (2John 1:6) and I believe that our dog’s relationship with us should be the same. After all….The First Evidence of Love is Obedience.
