The Pet Behavior Help Training Center Facilities
The PBH Training Center is located on over 10 acres with 3 fenced outdoor fields and a covered arena which we use for classes. There are extensive pasture areas and a barn that we can use for training, parking and events.
Training Spaces at the PBH Training Center
Agility Field 1 - This 110 x 100 ft full fenced grass field is located closest to the barn and has lights for training at night. We have a full set of competition agility equipment including rubberized contacts and 24" weave poles
Agility Field 2 - This 110 x 120 fully fenced grass field is located between the parking area and Agility field 1. It is also lighted for training at night and has a complete set of competition agility equipment including rubberized contacts and 24" weave poles. In addition to the lighted area, this field has an additional 60 x 120 ft area often used for obedience classes.
Practice Field - This 90 x 150 fully fenced grass field is located at the top of the parking pasture and is the first field you see when you arrive at the training center. This multi-use field has a complete set of agility equipment including rubberized contacts and 24" weave poles. Agility students enrolled in PBH classes at the intermediate level and above can purchase a monthly pass to practice agility in this area. This field is also used for obedience classes, Rally classes and private behavioral counseling lessons.
Covered Arena - This 50 x 50 foot dirt floored space is used for the majority of our obedience classes and many private lessons. In the summer, the cover and surrounding trees keep this area quite a bit cooler than the outdoor fields and protect us from summer showers. We winterize this training area in winter by wrapping it in plastic to reduce heat loss and protect us from the wind.

New Hope Animal Hospital: We are pleased to partner with the New Hope Animal Hospital to offer indoor classes during inclement weather. They have a beautiful, large lobby area which we use for our Puppy Primer and Senior Puppy classes.
Weather
It is important to note that we train outdoors because that is where your dog needs the training most. Our training center provides a rich environment full of distractions to help you work through some of the hardest parts of training. However, our classes are therefore affected by the weather. We want you to enjoy your time at PBH, so both Agility and Obedience classes can be cancelled due to extreme heat or cold. Agility classes are also affected by rain and wet conditions. For full details on cancellations, please see our Policy page.
