Katharine M. Wojda
Lucid Dog Training is a reward-based dog training company that teaches an integrative and balanced approach to training pet dogs while focusing on creating harmony between people, dogs, other pets, and the environments they share. As a lifetime learning experience, Lucid uses the latest instructional design systems, motivational theories, and teaching and training methods. In the Lucid approach, people are empowered to continue teaching their dogs new behaviors and commands for years because proper socialization and relationship building are emphasized – not just training. This is a hands-on, fully supported, resource-driven approach that combines face-to-face and online learning in a way that incorporates the entire family. To do this, we prioritize: – custom programs that equally consider the needs and desires of the involved dogs and people – careful and deliberate socialization with people, animals, and environments – owner education to empower people to not just train their dogs, but to keep their dogs trained – games and techniques that integrate training into everyday life – a balanced approach that strives for fairness, fun, efficiency, and effectiveness About Katie:A natural-born teacher with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Education, Katie leverages technology and uses her knowledge of learning theory, differentiated instruction, and instructional design to create effective and fun dog training programs. Katie has successfully completed training through Karen Pryor while also being a Premium Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and a Member of the Northwest Professional Dog Trainer’s Association. She also holds the Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed credential.

Zoomies Dog Social Club & Training, LLCZoomies Dog Social Club and Training uses force-free training methods to build healthy, happy, and mutually beneficial bonds between people and their dogs. Everything we do is safe, certified, and positive. Zoomies Dog Social Club & Training offers group training classes and private sessions for dogs ages 9 weeks and older. Our trainers are certified through CPDT-KA and have almost a decade of experience in not only public and private training, but behavior modification with shelter dogs of different breeds and temperaments. No other dog trainer in the Linn County Oregon area has this.Our mission is to teach people how to use tools like food, toys, clickers, and praise to entice a dog to make a good decision. As the dog learns, the human/animal bond strengthens. The dog’s home with that family also becomes more secure, as the humans won’t consider rehoming a pet that’s become such an integral part of everyday life.

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.
