Amazing dog training no longer costs the earth

Have you ever wished there was a website for training your new puppy or stopping your dog from some unwanted behavior?

For years as a professional dog trainer I did too!

Thinking of the millions of people world wide who were struggling to make sense of their new puppy or difficult dog, desperate and confused with everything they were being told, left me upset. I knew I had the knowledge to help…

I used to wonder why somebody didn’t put together a complete video based website for everyone to use, learn, enjoy and share at a cost that anyone could afford. It would be full of live consultations, tutorials, video examples and everything that people want to see and know all in one place. A collection of solutions and simple explanations to what’s going on and how to stop it.

A dream becomes reality…

I’m Doggy Dan, and for the last 5 years a small team and myself have been doing just that. We have been creating ā€œThe Online Dog Trainerā€, a video website with over 250 videos of myself working with dogs and puppies.

My gift to you

On the 1st July 2014 we launched the 3 day FREE trial of the website. Now you can actually get proper, FREE dog training online, from a real professional dog trainer.

That’s right… if you’re reading this then you can have a look at the site for FREE!

==> Just click hereĀ <==

What’s inside the site?

Inside the site is a vast library of material. It’s mainly videos (approximately 250, but more being added consistently), and also written notes and audios. All the material is my own, and most of it has been filmed live on my dog consultations so you can see what really goes on.

There is tonnes of footage of me raising puppies from 8 weeks of age right through to me working with very confident dogs weighing in at 70kg, and everything in between!

Value for money

The FREE trial is exactly that. All you need to do is tell us where to send your password and then take a look around the site for 3 days for free. At the end of your trial if you don’t want to sign up for longer then no worries… you’ll have enjoyed the site, the material and gained heaps of knowledge for FREE – and I’m happy with that.

If you love the site as many people do and can see the benefit of putting the program in place, then the subscription is $37/month for access. You can stay on for just 1 month or longer, it’s your choice. Whatever you do, it may well be the best money you ever spend on your dog or puppy.

And of course, you can cancel at any time, there are no strings attached.

My own story

Putting this site together has taken many years for the team, it’s cost us a small fortune and required more love, attention and labor than I’d have dreamt possible at the start.

Many people tell me that the site’s simply the best dog training they have found on the internet, and I want as many people to benefit from it and enjoy it as possible.

In fact most people who put the training program in place report that it has been far more useful than the dog trainer that they’ve paid a pile of cash for to come and visit them in person. In terms of value for money you wont beat it!

My motivation to help dogs

My motivation in all of this has always been to help the dogs. If it wasn’t that I was absolutely determined to share my knowledge for the benefit of everyone I would have undoubtedly given up a long time ago!

Providing an amazing solution that works for people like you has been my goal. It’s an honour to share the knowledge that other people and dogs have shared with me.

You can do it!

Now its up to YOU…

Today is the day that YOU take charge of your dog training, and lift the dark cloud that’s hanging over your home.

(See how I've trained over 77,000 dogs here!)

It means YOU now have the power at your fingertips to change not just your dog’s life but also yours. It’s no longer a case of wishing that there was something you could do, or that you had well respected dog trainer living nearby.

Think of it… By the end of today we may both be working together to turn your situation around and you could have the biggest smile on your face!

And remember, I’m still with you all the way. Inside the site, for our full members, is an active Forum where I answer all your questions.

Enjoy the site and I shall see you on the inside!

Have a great training day!

  1. My dog Finn is a 2year old lurcher. He goes berserk
    when he sees another dog. I am 85 and although still strong, Im finding it difficult and embarrassing when we encounter other dogs. Can your methods help with this problem.
    Derek

    1. Hi Derek,
      We do address this type of behaviour on my website…in fact it’s actually one of the more common behaviours we get asked about! In the mean-time I would recommend allowing Finn more space when he sees another dog approaching as he will feel far more comfortable the further away they are! This is not the solution to Finn’s behaviour but it is a factor that can be very helpful while you are working more directly with is behaviour. My website TheOnlineDogTrainer.com shows you very clearly how to achieve this…maybe take a quick look…its a $1USD trial for 3 days…all the best Doggy Dan

  2. HI Dan,
    Your methods make so much sense to us and we have really enjoyed using them. My question is, can we still take advantage of the free trial if we already had a three day free trial period about a month ago? We stayed with the programme and paid three times and now we’ve un-subscribed and so we don’t want to be greedy but would love to look at these videos again. Thanks in advance for reading this.

    I really admire and appreciate your calm, kind and persistent manner with dogs. I should also say we have made a lot of progress with our dog by using your methods. For one thing, He is a lot calmer and walks on the lead without pulling and has stopped jumping up on us. The old ignoring trick has worked well for us.

    Cheers,
    Pam

  3. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE DISABLED ON A VERY LIMITED INCOME SO THIS IS A GOD SENT FOR US. WE HAVE A 7 MONTH OLD BLACK CUR MIX WHO IS ALREADY OVER 100 POUNDS BUT THINKS HE IS THE SAME SIZE AS OUR LITTLE YORKIE/POM MIX SO WE REALLY NEEDED SOME HELP IN GETTING HIM UNDER CONTROL HE IS SO LOVABLE BUT CAN BE VERY OVERWHELMING WITH HIS SIZE SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH YOU ARE AN ANGEL FOR SURE

    1. Hi there Donna, you are welcome. You do get a lot of videos on puppy training in the site for FREE and I have even included one of my most closely guarded secrets in the FREE trial! Golden Rule no.1 ! I hope that you find the site, honest, easy to use and very powerful and chose to become a full member. Hopefully the $37 is something that you can afford as then you will get all 5 rules and become the pack leader of your 7 month old 100lb boy ! Doggy Dan

    1. Hi Harry,
      you are welcome…enjoy šŸ™‚ All the best with your training, Doggy Dan

  4. Hi Dan, the dog in this photo looks so like a dog we had and wondering if you know the breeder? Cheers

  5. Hi – have been signed up for a few months now – it’s been so useful. Good work

I started. The course 3/4 weeks ago. As Dan says you have to work on things if you get stuck. I have a Staffordshire x cane corso who is now six months old. She is very intelligent but sometimes she just doesn’t listen. Doing the five codes I’m finding it’s going pretty well except trying to get her calm so I am persevering with it again with my own space. I have a trainer call shortly which I will ask for advice on this. It’s great also that you can ask anything you’re not sure of on line. It’s so great to have someone there to help. I’m looking forward to having a relaxed girl instead of hyper most of the time as she gets so excited about almost everything. I would truly recommend doggy Dan and just wished I would have come across him much earlier. Thanks again for everything so far.

This program is amazing!. We have a VERY reactive rescue dog that has bitten his previous owner and as well, myself 3x and my husband 4 x's. He had never been around people or other animals, and had never been walked on a leash. (in fact never run off-leash either, just tied to the front steps). We began with traditional treat-based training with a professional, but the progress was frustrating. A reactive dog does not want treats; it wants comfort. With the 5 Golden Rules and and some of the other training we have received with our subscription, in just 3 weeks, we can let him off leash at the dog park, he has not growled at any stranger, and he has not attacked any other animals. He is still a work in progress, but we see progress!!!! He has become a cuddly, sweet dog and for a greyhound, he even has recall! This program is amazing to say the least. We were at our wits end, but now we have hope.

Okay, he says it’s not magic, but the results and the peace in so little time with so little effort sure feels like magic! My 11 month old pup was a 60lb highly reactive, very loud disaster waiting to happen. Now we are both calm, the house is quiet and I don’t live in absolute fear of his reactivity towards others. There’s always still work/training to do of course, but wow are we in a much better place to get on with that!

Just started with the 5 rules. It's only been a week and a half and I'm noticing less stress, and a reduction in reactivity. We still have a way to go. But finally something I can work with. I went for the online course.

My Lab mix puppy and I are on Day 3 , but, I do feel a stronger connection. She appears calmer overall / looking forward to consistently following these five rules. Doggy Dan is clear, concise, comprehensive and compassionate . Very pleased with his program. Diane

We have an 8 month old Goldendoodle who has fear issues outside the home and gets easily overwhelmed going into panic/flee mode if several triggers coincide (people, loud dog barking and noises like motorcycles/construction). So pleased to find Doggy Dan and seeing positive changes after just two weeks. Feeding time is calm after using the gesture eating and "thank you" when he barks works a treat. I realized I'm babying my dog too much and trying to be his best pal instead of a leader so I'm working hard on that. We've changed to the no pull harness and love that. Doggy Dans video clips really help bring the philosophy together and I love his attitude. He is calm, clear, firm but so kind and loving with dogs and very down to earth and relatable. I've got great help too from the AI coach and the daily emails and videos help keep us on track and feeling positive. We've still got a mountain to climb with our pup but I finally feel hopeful and supported. We'd tried trainers, behavior specialists and all sorts before finding Doggy Dan and this is by far our best investment. Can't recommend you trying this highly enough. Photo of our boy.

I couldn’t believe my dog’s problem resolved completely within a week! Easy but not easy if you are inconsistent with the 5 rules. I highly recommend this method! Somethings don’t seem important or relevant but they are!

I just started my training about 2 weeks ago, and I do mean MY training. My 2 girls are really responding to my changes in how I am relating to them better. Thank you Doggy Dan, I really needed this win, 2 reactive dogs and we have made progress with the 5 golden rules and we have not with anything else.

For three years, I tried every treat-based method and expensive course to stop my large, powerful male dog from pulling on the leash, barking, and stressing out when his energy got too high on our walks. (So while he is a farm dog who enjoys total freedom off-leash on our farm most of the day, on-leash in the city, he totally lost it). He was practically hanging from the leash, two feet in the air (almost strangling himself), always demanding to walk in front and make all the decisions. Absolutely nothing worked—until I found Doggy Dan! 🏆 After just a couple of weeks implementing The 5 Golden Rules, the transformation is absolutely mind-blowing!!! By focusing on connection and calm leadership rather than rigid commands, my dog has FINALLY reconnected with his natural calmness (that has actually always been there inside him) ā¤ļøā¤ļø When we walk through town now, I look down at my dog walking in a perfect "heel." The leash hangs completely loose, and that loose leash really says it all 👍👍👍 He does not pull, bark, or growl AT ALL when other dogs bark at him!😱 Yes, he looks at them and is interested, but he remains completely calm. We pass shouting people, groups of kids on scooters, and dogs barking aggressively behind gates—he is interested, but he remains entirely unfazed. Just yesterday, we stopped in front of a fence with chickens walking in a garden, and he just stood there watching curiously, staying completely still. And as we walked across a large, grassy schoolyard, we suddenly crossed paths with two rabbits—when I told him to, he immediately sat down. Of course, he was highly interested, but he sat completely, utterly still! I constantly find myself thinking: This can NOT be my dog, LOL! 🐇🐓 Dan refers to himself as a dog trainer, but in my humble opinion he is a dog philosopher. The course is incredibly generous, filled with hundreds of real-life videos from every situation imaginable, offering a massive toolkit for an amazing price. I am so excited to continue this course, so happy about the progress, and so looking forward to the future with this beloved dog of mine. I HIGHLY recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've only been working the program for a week and already are seeing some great improvements with an overexcitable, energetic, barking at everything, and fun Maltipoo. I'm focusing on the 5 golden rules and watching the training videos. Thanks Doggy Dan!

In a matter of days my 5 year old Frenchie is calmer and seems happier, albeit not happy that I'm ignoring him but it works! I live alone so he thinks he should be boss and protect me from every visitor but he didn't even bark at the window cleaner yesterday, just followed him around each window. My life might be my own soon, thank you!

We have adopted a Poodle and he us very high energy, anxious and insecure. I joined the online program after I watched the free online webinar about the 5 Golden Rules. While watching the webinar all 3 of my dogs ran off barking... I calmly called out "thank you" and they all came back to me.. from that moment I was hooked. I love the fact that we use minimal sound in this technique as I can become anxious and unsure in my tone. I have seen results with the new Poodle and I am exited about our future. Thanks Doggy Dan, you are a gem 👌🐾🐾🐾

The training has been amazing. I've been training dogs in unprofessional situations since the mid 1970's. I've never heard of this philosophy! We have a 4-year-old Great Dane mix who is leash aggressive and hyper-reactive to any noises. This training has been incredible. In a week we've seen dramatic differences in his anxiety - just based on the 5 Golden Rules (we haven't even gotten to the Reactive Dog training yet). My only complaint is the persistent emails to sign up for the Canine Coaching Club - which is a monthly subscription. That's been a lot and it started immediately. Other than that, I highly recommend this training system.
