Alysha Marie Verba
Ally Verba, CPDT-KA CSAT FFCTI started my journey in the Animal Welfare and Behavior industry back in 2010. Soon after starting my journey I realized animal behavior was a strong passion of mine, and I enrolled in the Dog Training Internship Academy led by a world renowned Dog Trainer, Janis Bradley. Once I completed my internship I continued on to receive my CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer- Knowledge Assessed) Certificate, became a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, and completed training to become a Fear Free Certified Animal Trainer. I have a strong desire to forever expand my knowledge of animal welfare + behavior and have since enrolled in a myriad of continued education including Susan Friedman’s Living and Learning with Animals Seminar, the IAABC- Shelter Dog Behavior mentorship, CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, DogTec Academy, Amy Cook’s “The Play Way,” and I am also a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. My extensive education background has allowed me the opportunity to work with the Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare Lab at Virginia Tech, take on a key role as Behavior Supervisor at Asheville Humane Society, as part of the Behavior Team at Contra Costa Animal Services, as a Behavior Team member and Class Instructor with the East Bay SPCA, and alongside multiple other rescues including Woof Meow Rescue, Family Dog Rescue, and Muttville Senior Dog Rescue.

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.
