I have 17 yrs experience working with rescue dogs and common behavior problems such as separation anxiety, jumping, chewing, and potty training. I also handle severe aggression and other behavioral issues. I enjoy working with those families with children and dogs that have special needs such as blindness or deafness. Everything in classes is accomplished through positive reinforcement training and behavior modification. My ultimate goal is to solve any behavior problems you and your pet may have while making it fun and entertaining for the whole family! I also offer grooming and boarding services

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.
