I am the Lead Dog Trainer at locally owned Mighty Pet store in Menominee, Michigan. In addition to having my CPDT-KA I am also a graduate of Micheal Shikashio's Aggression In Dogs Master Course and a licensed Veterinary Technician. Mighty Pet is a one of a kind local family owned business. We began as a pet supply retail store and have grown to include pet lodging, doggy day camp, and training services. I joined Mighty Pet in 2017 to help build their training program. Since that time our program has grown to include multiple group classes, day training, private training, in home training and behavior consultation services. Our group classes cover a variety of disciplines and topics including puppy manners, basic obedience, therapy dog training, Rally obedience and dog powered sports like dog sledding and canicross. My private training/behavior consultation services cover a wide range of needs including separation anxiety, aggression, reactivity and fear.Through our training program at Mighty Pet I help pet parents to develop their dog into a welcome member of the family by understanding the unique needs of each client and their dog. Then using the least invasive, minimally aversive methods possible, I develop a structured, yet flexible training plan, utilizing modern learning theory and training techniques. When necessary I work with owners to address and modify their dog's unhealthy or dangerous behavior.

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.
