Good Dog in a Box 6 Month Advanced Dog Training Program

Description

Foundation of the Program: Everything we do is positive reinforcement training with Tellington TTouch mixed in. There’s no choke chains or electric shock collars here! We promote responsibility and ownership with children toward their family dog, teamwork, and trust.

Curriculum Highlights: Jenn Merritt, CPDT-KA, our cofounder, wrote our curriculum using over 13 years of professional dog training experience, with sister Kim’s 8 years of experience homeschooling her kids. What a great combo! It teaches dog safety and dog bite prevention through the use of fun games and reward based training. Three central themes throughout program include “Loving your good dog,” “Learning about your good dog,” and “Teaching your good dog.” “I Can” empowerment statements help children build self-confidence in knowing the proper way to interact with dogs. It’s fun for the whole family!

What You Get: Everything that comes in our Good Dog in a Box subscription, but you don’t have to wait. You’ll get six months of training materials delivered in one box. Move at your own pace through the training games, online videos, and activities. This box is Part 2 of a two part series. It involves more advanced dog training activities. We recommend this box for dogs that have gone through our Part 1 box or dogs that have successfully gone through a basic dog training class.

Realistic Expectations: We like to say our program is habit forming (and fun), but let’s be real, habits and new behaviors take time to learn. Each kid and each dog will learn at their own pace. We don’t guarantee that your dog will become the best behaved dog in town overnight. But if you consistently work with your kids and dogs, positive outcomes will prevail. Our program is NOT for dogs who have consistently shown aggressive or biting behavior. For that, we recommend face time with a professional dog trainer that specializes in aggression.

Delivery Method: You’ll get one big box with all your training materials. (hey Grandma…little Jimmy and Sally would love one for Fluffy!). Corresponding video training is accessible through your online Good Dog account. Anyone in the family can access learning from any computer or mobile device.
