MEET STEPHANIE HINTZ
Owner & Trainer
The Becket School was founded in 2018 by Stephanie Hintz in honor of her Great Dane, Becket, whose profound impact taught her the invaluable importance of building a healthy, trusting relationship between dogs and their owners.
At The Becket School, I believe that true transformation goes far beyond obedience. My mission is to empower dogs and their owners to live more fulfilled, harmonious lives together through education, guidance, and lasting behavioral change. I am committed to helping owners better understand their dogs while providing the tools, structure, and support necessary to create meaningful, lifelong relationships.
My philosophy centers on two fundamental principles: developing a healthy mindset in every dog and educating owners to become confident, capable leaders. By addressing behavior at its root and helping dogs reach their full mental potential, I create real-world results that extend far beyond the training process.
Since its founding, The Becket School has successfully helped close to a thousand dogs and their owners overcome challenges, strengthen their relationships, and enjoy a higher quality of life together. I am known for my unwavering commitment, compassionate approach, and ability to provide effective training solutions regardless of the severity or complexity of a dog’s behavioral issues.
At The Becket School, my purpose is simple: to help dogs and their owners build healthy relationships, achieve lasting change, and thrive together for years to come.
