Here Are 8 Things That Make the Dog Trainer Academy Totally Unique:

Doggy Dan’s approach to dog training motivates owners to take responsibility

Motivating a dog owner to do the training rather than trying to train the dog yourself should not be a revolutionary idea. Yet, it’s not as common as you might expect. In the Dog Trainer Academy, you’ll discover how to educate and empower dog owners. Once dog owners become inspired and determined to succeed, they will do the training every day because they know it’s in their hands to create the change.

The Dog Trainer Academy training methods don’t rely on physical strength

Since dog training is not about looking to dominate or overpower dogs, anyone, even people who are older or are not physically strong, can learn to train dogs to “choose” to change of their own free will rather than through fear of repercussions that may follow.

You’ll be given a definitive guide to establishing a successful dog training business

To ensure your success as a dog trainer, the Dog Trainer Academy covers everything you will need to know to successfully set up your dog training business. This includes the secret to ensuring customer happiness, business building lessons and information on personal development.

Discover an effective dog training foundation, based on a deep connection with the dogs

Doggy Dan’s training approach goes much deeper than simply training dogs with treats. His proven methods work through the instinct of the dog. This helps you form deep connections between dog and owner that allow your training to reach new levels.

Enjoy the benefits of online learning

As a student of the Dog Trainer Academy, there will be no need to spend thousands on travel and hotel costs to attend courses around the country in order to become a dog trainer. And there is certainly no need to waste hundreds of hours traveling to a campus each day to sit and listen to lectures.

The  Academy gives inside access to all the experience and success of Doggy Dan

As a member of the Dog Trainer Academy, you will have access to Doggy Dan through a private Facebook community, webinars and small group learning sessions so he can help guide you along on your journey to become a dog trainer.

The complete armchair experience

Inside the membership area, you’ll get to see Doggy Dan at work in his live consultations from the comfort of your armchair. Here, you’ll get to virtually sit and soak up the entire experience while you watch Doggy Dan as he visits people in their homes. Few things can be compared to watching a real consultation where you can follow the interaction with owner and dog from start to finish.

Designed for every learning style

The Dog Trainer Academy comes with videos to watch, audio files to listen to, and detailed course notes/lectures. This means that regardless of whether you’re audio, visual, or tactile learner, you’ll be able to benefit from this course.
