But a life like this sounds unachievable right now, doesn't it?
You’ve tried DIY training with tips from YouTube. You’ve read blog posts, listened to podcasts and read books.
You might have even tried other online dog behavior courses before.
You've never had a dog like this before
We hear this from a majority of our clients, but what we’ve noticed is that most people are really trying to say:
I have no idea what to do.
I don’t know where to start.
Is my dog broken or strange or weird?
Can my dog’s behavior even be fixed?
We’ve worked with thousands of dogs and there’s nothing we haven’t seen. You’re not alone, and hope is here.
Your dog’s behavior problems are overwhelming
Overwhelming. Embarrassing. Scary. Annoying. Heartbreaking.
There are a lot of emotions that come with our dog’s behavior problems.
But after clients learn the foundation skills of dog behavior modification, they often tell us that they feel…
Hope. Encouraged. Confident. Relief.
It’s time for you to feel that way, too.
You’ve tried everything already
We hear this from a majority of our clients, too.
While there are a thousand suggestions out there, there’s only a handful that will actually work, and putting them into practice often requires professional help.
The devil’s in the details and blog posts don’t provide the details.
At the end of the day, “everything” to you is not “everything” to us, and oftentimes what’s lacking is the foundation skills covered in this online dog behavior course.
It doesn’t matter if your dog is lying down in the vet parking lot and won’t budge or is frantically pulling at the end of their leash when they see another dog or trying to bite everyone who comes in your house.
The dog behavior modification skills you need to know are all the same, and that’s what this course will teach you. These are all of the same skills we teach each of our private pet training clients at the beginning of their behavior modification plan.

But...
Don't you need to see my dog's behavior to help me?
This is one of the most common myths of dog behavior modification and the answer is:
Nope!
This isn’t like when your car makes a funny noise but, of course, stops making that noise when it’s in front of a mechanic so they tell you they can’t fix it.
There’s only a handful of reasons why your dog is behaving the way they do and these foundation skills taught in our online dog behavior course will help them all.
How do I know this will help my individual dog?
While the foundation skills are the same for all behavior issues, you’re right that each case is unique because our dogs are individuals.
That’s why we’ve set up this course to help you figure out the individual details for your unique dog.
Each lesson includes an actionable item that helps you apply what you’re learning to your specific situation.
So, no matter what’s going on, these dog behavior modification skills have you covered.
I'm not a professional trainer
And that’s okay! You don’t have to be.
I’ll let you in on another secret…
A lot of animal behavior modification is educating the human and only a little of it is about actual dog training.
That means that you absolutely do not need to be a skilled trainer to see results.
The training exercises we’ve included are all simple and the majority of people can get started on them before working with a professional.

She is the founder and co-owner of Pet Harmony, co-author of Canine Enrichment for the Real World, and a national speaker.
While in the animal sheltering industry, Allie realized that her passion lied in helping pets with maladaptive behaviors. Specifically, she wanted to help prevent animals with rehabilitatable problems from being euthanized. She loves working with dogs and cats displaying stranger danger, resource guarding, and leash reactivity. Her favorite thing about working with pets and their people is seeing relationships grow and seeing harmonious households develop. Allie shares her years of experience in this online dog behavior course to help you live more harmoniously with your pet.

She has been in the animal welfare industry since 2009 and professionally training since 2015. She is a behavior consultant with Pet Harmony.
Ellen originally worked in exotic animal care and wildlife rehab. When she adopted one of her dogs, Griffey (pictured), she made the transition to domestic animals and pet behavior. She cites being able to help Griffey work through a myriad of maladaptive behaviors and successfully integrate into their household as one of her most rewarding experiences. She now gets to help others do the same as a dog behavior consultant and lives for seeing people have those “lightbulb” moments.

Emily started working with animals at a young age and struggled with the notion that you have to hurt, scare, or intimidate animals to help them. When she discovered the behavior sciences and learned that it wasn’t necessary to do so– that we can care for emotional, mental, and physical health simultaneously– she plunged headfirst into animal behavior. Emily loves helping prospective animal behavior professionals learn how to become behavior consultants and working with pet parents through one-on-one services and our online dog training courses. She enjoys working with all species.

Dog Behavior Training FAQs
Absolutely! With our private dog training clients, we offer at-home and online dog training options. After years of experience with remote training, we can confidently say that online training works just as well as in-person. The truth is, successful dog training really comes to teaching the humans involved. And we can do that just as easily face-to-face as we can with an online dog training course.
Just press play 🙂 In all seriousness, there’s nothing special you have to do to get started with our Beginning Behavior Modification course. As long as you have a dog and you have a behavior problem you want to address, then you can start learning from this course.
The online dog behavior course starts with a few welcome videos to help you start working through the material and understand what to expect. From there, you can work through each module at your own pace and start learning the behavior modification skills you need to work with your pet.
It depends on your dog and the behavior you’re working to address. If you are dealing with just one challenging behavior and it’s not a danger to people or other animals in your household, it can work really well to start the training process with an online dog behavior course. If you’re facing multiple behavior problems or dealing with behavior like biting or aggression, then it’s usually a better idea to work with a professional for in-home or virtual pet training.
