Walks of Life Training
Tomball, TXAlexandra P. Malone
I support and coach owners of dogs suffering from separation anxiety to navigate the process of acclimating their dog to calmly staying home alone. I am a CSAT and my program - Keep Calm and Trust your Dog - teaches humans how to apply systematic desensitization to change their dogs’ emotional state from fearful to calm. This system is so effective that it is also used with humans suffering from fears and phobias.

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.
