Christel T. Fleming
Connect with Canines is a trusted professional dog trainer in St. Augustine, Fl. Since 2012, CWC has been helping both pets and their owners understand each other better and live together in perfect harmony. Whether you are looking to train a new puppy, need help with common problem behaviors, or want to get involved with canine sports, Connect with Canines is here to help! Connect with Canines uses a LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive) approach to training. "LIMA requires that trainers and behavior consultants use the “least intrusive, minimally aversive technique likely to succeed in achieving a training (or behavior change) objective with minimal risk of producing aversive side affects.” It is also a competence criterion, requiring that trainers and behavior consultants be adequately trained and skilled in order to ensure that the least intrusive and aversive procedure is in fact used." -APDT.com. Basically this means that Connect with Canines helps the dog guardian set up the environment in a way which minimizes the occurrences of undesired behavior and maximizes the opportunities for the dog to earn a reward. It is not simply "treat training." It is a careful, thought out approach that factors in the dog's temperament, the family's life style, available resources and environmental elements.

Frequently asked questions about dog training
How much does dog training cost?
Dog training costs vary by type and location. Group classes typically run $50–$200 for a multi-week session. Private sessions range from $50–$150 per hour. Board and train programs can cost $500–$2,500+ per week depending on the trainer and length of program.
What dog training methods are most effective?
Positive reinforcement is widely considered the most effective and humane dog training method. It rewards desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones. Look for trainers certified by organizations like CCPDT, IAABC, or Karen Pryor Academy.
How long does dog training take?
Basic obedience typically takes 4–8 weeks of consistent training. Behavior modification for issues like aggression or separation anxiety may take 3–6 months. Every dog learns at their own pace — consistency and practice between sessions are key.
What certifications should a dog trainer have?
Look for trainers certified by CCPDT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer), IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants), or the Karen Pryor Academy. These certifications require demonstrated knowledge and adherence to humane training standards.
