Maria D. Duryee
I started training in 1991 when I raised my first puppy for Guide Dogs of America in California. After raising three of their dogs, I moved out of state so started raising pups for Canine Companions for Independence. I raised four dogs for CCI and taught puppy kindergarten, good manners, and CGC test prep for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. Currently, I am a puppy raiser for Dogs Inc (formerly Southeastern Guide Dogs).During those three decades, I have stayed current with theories and methods. I will teach you how to train your dog using 100-percent-positive methods, so you and your pup will form a happy, healthy bond while making sure he or she fits nicely into your household.

Maria G. Huntoon
Our mission is to find balance between you and your dog so that every member of your family can live happily. Having a well-mannered, confident dog that is a positive addition to your life starts with you. Many inappropriate dog behaviors occur because of an imbalance or miscommunication in the relationship between a dog and its human. We offer a holistic approach to tackling canine behavior concerns by teaching both you and your dog so that we can build harmony from the inside out. By looking at each dog and each relationship individually, we will teach you how to understand who your dog is, why he does what he does, and how you can work with that in a way that will create positive results for both of you that will have long-lasting results! We won't just put a temporary fix on the problem. Through understanding canine behavior and effective communication methods, you will gain the skills to create a happy life with the four-legged members of your family!I offer private behavioral consultations in your home and specialize in anxiety, hyperactivity, fear/lack of confidence, and aggressive behaviors in addition to other, less emotionally-driven behavior concerns. Working with dogs, and understanding their behavior and how to train them, is not black and white - there are many shades of gray. What works for one team or in one circumstance may not work for the next. Behavior problems are most often due to an imbalance in the relationship, and the situation may not be what you think. By helping you understand more about how dogs learn and why they act the way they do (and more specifically, your dog), Maria will help you build a stronger, happier relationship with your dog. You will learn more about dog signals and communication, human-canine interaction techniques, and how to "build him up instead of break him down," thereby allowing you to provide better, clearer and more respectable communication to your dog - resulting in a more well-mannered and responsive partner!

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.
