Train from anywhere in the world. All you need is a computer, webcam, and online connection. Online training is an effective way to train your dog. It reduces the distraction of the in-home trainer for your dog, allowing your dog to focus solely on you. Online training is also a great option for dogs with anxiety or reactivity issues.
Each training session includes a one on one video conference, email support, and a personalized training plan. We use free downloadable video conferencing software such as Zoom.
