Customer Reviews

Our German shepherd, Koda, had been experiencing anxiety for a few months. Seemed scared of everything in life, was afraid to go outside alone and always had her tail tucked like she was scared. Ty and Karen were both great when they came to the house to work with her. By the end of the training session, Koda seemed more relaxed her tail was noticeably less tucked, and more relaxed. It has been about a week and Koda has shown improvement every day. She already is much less afraid to be outside and her tail is perked back up. She overall is much happier. Ty and Karen were able to show me the basics of how to work with Koda and get her back to herself. Would highly recommend them!

I would recommend these guys to anybody. They're great to work with very informative. Very patient with the animals and the owners. And make sure you fully understand the training that's being provided and even provide extra videos for you to follow up with.

Ty offered me and my puppy some very useful tips on potty training, feeding and crate training. There's so much contradicting advice out there that I was getting confused and so was my puppy! Ty really helped get me back on track. I feel so much better. His calm demeanor and confidence in me was very reassuring. I will be contacting him again if I have any other questions. He's awesome!

- Amy R

Ty is patient, knowledgeable, caring and kind. His love of canines is evident in the training he provides. We've seen a difference already and look forward to putting his advice to action with our dog moving forward! Money well spent!

- Andrea M

Ty and Karen just left after spending 90 minutes with my dog, Selah, my husband and me training us to be the best we can be. His gentle training methods were appreciate by us all. He offered some much needed tips and reassurances to help Selah use a soft mouth and learn to be a loving pet. We thoroughly enjoyed this training session and look to many happy years with our latest addition to our family.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Sura Dog Training, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
