Guiding Pets & Parents Inc is a dog training business founded by Bellah and Fernando, offering lifestyle-based training programs designed to build a harmonious relationship between pets and their owners. They provide a range of services including board and train programs, puppy programs, group classes, private lessons, and consultations. Their board and train programs are e-collar based and include daily updates, a 2–4 hour go-home session, and lifetime support. Puppy programs focus on early-life skills like potty training, crate training, and socialization. Group classes are held weekly at Tom Minor Park in San Bernardino and cover basic to advanced obedience, including AKC Canine Good Citizen preparation and off-leash foundational training using e-collars. Private lessons occur in the client’s home and offer tailored, one-on-one instruction with flexibility to use e-collars or traditional tools. They emphasize balanced training, combining positive reinforcement with corrections, and prioritize ongoing client education to ensure long-term success.

Bellah has over a decade of experience raising puppies for a guide dog program and has trained with a leading nationwide franchise. Fernando began as a kennel technician and later worked as an Animal Control Officer and Rescue Coordinator before transitioning into training. Both are passionate about preventing behavioral issues before they arise and helping owners become confident pet parents. They offer financing for board and train programs and host a free monthly graduate group class for board and train alumni.

Their services are available for puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs, with a focus on reactivity, recall, leash pulling, potty training, and basic obedience. They serve clients within a 35-mile radius of San Bernardino and provide in-home, facility-based, and board-and-train options. They do not offer grooming, boarding as a standalone service, or pet sitting, but their board and train programs include supervised boarding with training integrated daily.

Accomplishments

Bellah has raised eight puppies from start to finish for a guide dog program and has trained with a leading nationwide dog training franchise. Fernando has worked as a Kennel Technician, Animal Control Officer, and Animal Rescue Coordinator before transitioning into professional dog training. Both are recognized for their hands-on, client-focused approach and success with high-energy and reactive dogs.
