Yay you! Congratulations for committing to your dog becoming even more awesome. We are so excited you’re here. This section is all about making the most of the Good Dog School to guarantee your success.

You wouldn’t lay a new carpet over the old one. You wouldn’t plant new flowers over dead ones. And you cannot put new learning on top of old habits. So before you can teach your dog what TO do, we have to have him ‘unlearn’ things you’d rather him stop doing. This is a CRITICAL step in our program to ensuring what you teach from here on out actually works.

35 years of successfully house breaking tens of thousands of dogs means your dog is next! Put away the paper towels and rug spray and learn the secrets.

Your dog becomes more of what he does more of. Here’s where you’ll learn all the secrets of how to have a happy, safe, and well-behaved dog even before you have all the training done.

You wanted a dog, not a piranha. You’re not into full body tackles (ouch!), and you’re semi-certain that your dog’s barking is going to cause you to lose your sanity or cause hearing damage. Maybe both. This is where you’ll learn how to get rid of the biting, jumping, and barking no matter what stage of life your dog is in.

If you can’t touch your dog’s muddy paws to wipe them, how successful will your vet be when he tries to examine him if he has cut on his pad? Or when you have to put the antibiotic cream on the aforementioned cut once you’re home? Don’t answer. It’s a rhetorical question. This is the section that will make your life (and your dog’s) easier and less stressful when the task at hand involves touching him!

Your dog knows Sit? Cool. The first time you tell him to? Without you having to hold a Chicken McNugget? No? Well then this section is for you. You’ll learn how to teach/re teach the basics AND how to apply them in real life situations.

It’s not just for ‘don’t pick that thing up’ situations. It means “stop looking at - moving toward - reaching for - thinking about……anything!” It’s a universal ‘cease and desist’ command that you won’t believe that you lived without.

Got a ‘Gimme Gimme!’ dog? Here’s where you learn how to change that to ‘Please may I?” apologies in advance that this course is for canines, not humans 😇 (we’ve been asked if this would work with kids and significant others…..)

Think your dog should greet every dog they see? That dog parks are great for socializing? That tail wagging always means your dog is happy? Then this section is for you! Here you’ll find the truth behind the socialization myths you’ve been told (grown up with?), as well all the tools and skills you need to set your dog p for social success.

So…. it’s actually not like in the movies where dogs meet each other and fall instantly in love. But we have techniques to ensure that your dog’s relationship with his new family member is more Lady and the Tramp than ‘Fight Club’. So if you’re thinking about bringing a new dog into your family, you need to dig into this section BEFORE you do.

Here’s where we prepare you to easily tackle the typical challenges that dog owners face on the daily. From how kids should interact with a dog (to prevent bites!) to how to prepare for a weather emergency (you have a few extra things to think about with a dog!) and many other topics you didn’t even know you needed to know about!

Think of it as the NetFlix of dog training! A treasure chest of our video resources to help you have the life you wanted to have with your dog, before you even brought him home!
