If they don’t have structure, they start to do bad things and look for attention.” “Animals, especially dogs, require structure. “What we do with obedience is add structure to their lives,” she said. The 3,000-square-foot, fully matted center in Kingston is used for animal training and agility, obedience and freestyle work – what Garelick describes as “basically having fun with your dog all the way around.” She said she has many friends in the city and has been training privately in the area, and there really was no place in Red Hook, her area of Dutchess, where she could house the facility.

Garelick continues to conduct private sessions for behavioral consultations and covers a lot of ground between New York City and Albany. “They wanted an indoor arena for winter.” “I opened because my clients demanded it,” she said.
