Jennifer Leigh Brand
Dogs have always been a passion of mine. I try to give every dog I work with the tender, loving care they deserve. To me this means treating them as if they were my own. Giving them the same love and compassion I give my cat Zoro every single day. There is a unique bond between every owner and their pet. Every pet I meet has a special place in my heart. I’ve been referred to as “Auntie Jen” from my clients. This is very fitting as I think of all of the pets I work with as my nieces and nephews. Whether this be cats or dogs! I look forward to working with you and your pet becoming part of the Jennifer’s Dogs family! -Jennifer Brand, CPDT-KA

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.
