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.

Stephanie Kaye
Hello!My name is Steph and I am the owner and head trainer at "Trained By Steph". My business operates internationally (by virtual appointment) as well as in-person in the Guelph, Tri-city, and surrounding areas in Ontario, Canada. I do private 1:1 training either virtually or in-home. I have my Master's of Science in Animal behaviour from the University of Guelph as well as my CCPDT certificant status. I have over a decade of experience with dogs and it is my personal mission to help owners understand their dog more completely. Why does he do what he does? What's in it for him? How can we use his motivations to not only think about what we don't want him to do, but instead what we do want him to do. I want to help you reach a space of empathy and compassion for your severely disregulated dog. I want to help you understand why your puppy is destroying everything. Together, we can help make our dogs lives in this weird and crazy human world more exciting, fulfilling, and kind. Thanks for reading, if you'd like more information about my training style/background or to book an appointment or consultation with me please find my website here:https://www.trainedbysteph.com/Looking forward to chatting more!

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.
