ABOUT THIS COURSE

Effective, easy-to-follow training for dogs (and humans) of all ages

Nobody’s perfect. No doggy’s perfect.

But that’s no excuse to let your canine companion walk all over you. Whether it’s a few too many accidents or a bad habit of biting, there is a way to get your dog under control without compromising any puppy love.

Did you know that less than 5% of dog owners enroll in any sort of training program with their pet? This unfortunate statistic leads to millions of helpless canines being returned to shelters, through no fault of their own.

Training takes time and patience, but any pet parent will tell you the reward is well worth the hard work.

And with the flexibility of this completely online course, you can work on your own time, and at your own pace.

By training your puppy or dog with us:

You are in control
The course is online so you decide when you train your dog
You’ll spend quality time with your dog
He thinks you’re playing with him but really he’s learning to be well-behaved
Each dog training session is bite-size. In each 10-minute video, you and your pooch will learn something new
You’re training with a master dog trainer Ian Stone, who’s crazy about dogs
You’ll discover so much about dog behavior and get great tips on how to train your dog with kindness (and lots of doggy treats!)
You can teach an old dog new tricks. Our dog and puppy training course is suitable for all ages

Build a stronger relationship with your pup based on respect instead of bribery, and establish yourself as the dominant member of your pack.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

The videos show real dogs in real life training situations. They show you exactly how to do it!

This course is taught by certified professional dog trainer, Ian Stone, who has more than 10 years’ experience working in animal welfare. He will guide you step-by-step through:

fundamental concepts
basic training commands such as Sit and Come
tackling behavior problems like jumping up or barking
being good on the leash
as well as some games and tricks!

Who is this course for?
