Jeannie M. Seuffert
Treasure Coast CaninesCertified Dog Behavior Consultant with over a decade of training experience. I enjoy working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I am passionate about behavior. Being a curious person by nature, it has become my focus to understand behavior from the dog's point of view. When an owner has a better understanding of why their dog might be biting, fearful of things in the environment , or barking and lunging on leash, it's allows for a conversation that can help the pet parent can gain a better understanding of their dog. Owning a dog with aggressive behavior is very stressful and emotionally draining. I know I can help the dog, but it has become my life's mission to help the owners too.

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.
