A Self-Study Option for Positive Reinforcement Dog Training

Private lessons aren’t the only way to access high-quality dog training. For the DIY-minded dog owner who believes in learning by doing, a training manual can be the next best thing!

Level Up Your Dog Training is our Basic Obedience curriculum all bundled up into a learn-at-your-own-pace workbook — plus a few extra bells and whistles.

The book was designed to teach both ends of the leash at once. You’ll learn the theory behind dog training, then have a chance to apply each principle while teaching your dog fundamental skills like how to sit, lie down, come when called, stay, walk without pulling, leave it, greet guests politely, potty immediately when asked and more.

And your dog isn’t the only one who will learn new tricks! If you work through the whole book, you’ll learn the underlying principles behind effective dog training, the three building blocks that you can use to teach your dog anything (some assembly required), how to take basic skills to the next level and how to take your dog’s “but he does it perfectly at home!” behaviors out into the real world without backsliding.

Yes, you get a set of recipes to teach basic obedience behaviors. But more than that, you get an explanation for why those recipes work, how to modify them to suit your needs and when to use the same principle in the future to solve similar-but-different problems.

In other words, it’s as close as I can get to downloading Dog Trainer Wisdom directly into your noggin.

I hope you love reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
