Notre Dog AcademyAt Notre Dog Academy, your furry friends will engage in mutual and healthy interactions with other dogs. They will not be allowed to practice any inappropriate behaviors, and will receive twice-daily private training with a CPDT-KA certified dog training instructor. You can rest easy (or work hard) knowing that your dog is not only going to be tired at the end of the day, but he or she is also working that brain in a way that will help generalize only acceptable behaviors. Notre Dog Academy only accepts 5 dogs per day for this exclusive program and all reservations must be placed in advance.

I believe the best training uses scientifically proven methods to protect canine confidence, build communication and clarity, and create a bond between a dog and their handler that is beautiful to experience. I coach because I want to help other teams develop that relationship. I prefer to take an individualized approach as each dog/handler team is unique.

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.
