Maria D. Duryee
I started training in 1991 when I raised my first puppy for Guide Dogs of America in California. After raising three of their dogs, I moved out of state so started raising pups for Canine Companions for Independence. I raised four dogs for CCI and taught puppy kindergarten, good manners, and CGC test prep for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. Currently, I am a puppy raiser for Dogs Inc (formerly Southeastern Guide Dogs).During those three decades, I have stayed current with theories and methods. I will teach you how to train your dog using 100-percent-positive methods, so you and your pup will form a happy, healthy bond while making sure he or she fits nicely into your household.

Mindy J. Cox, B.S., CPDT-KSA
Thank you for trusting me with your dogs all of these years. I am humbled and honored. I am now fully retired! I wish you all the best with your furry companions.............................................................................................................................................................................................I have the experience and knowledge to work with fearful and aggressive dogs to change their behavior. Positive, reward-based training enhances the bond between you and your pet. I will provide you with the tools to build a more joyful and satisfying relationship with your dog. This clear emphasis on positive reinforcement gives dogs the freedom and confidence to think, learn and experiment throughout the training process. The dog's natural capabilities are encouraged and rewarded rather than being suppressed through the threat of severe punishment or harsh corrections. From your dog's perspective, they can solely concentrate on the challenge of learning and trying new things rather than worrying about the consequences of doing something wrong.

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.
