Positive training all the way!

Using kind and force-free training is EVEN more important for families because kids are watching… ALL the time… and they COPY what they see! The stakes are just higher when children are in the home. Our program is centered around building a kind, healthy and respectful relationship between kids and dogs, using fun, games, and LOTS of rewards.

There's really nothing else like this program ANYWHERE out there! 

Not only was it the FIRST (and probably still ONLY) program of its kind, that was intentionally designed JUST for families, but it ALSO maximizes your  training time! Because, when you use the PT program, you will be offering your family clients a TWO-FOR-ONE package. 

1. They get all the value of your expertise during private sessions, and
2. They will also have access to our online training program with ALL the essentials you would LOVE them to know, but don’t want to take time out of your lessons to teach.

I hope so! If you've got a solid understanding of positive reinforcement training, an ability to see the "red flags" of emerging behavior problems, and experience teaching the 6 skills you'll find in this program (sit, come, attention, down, stay and loose leash walking), then it's a go!

*If you're a new trainer, consider assisting an experienced trainer for a while before working with families, who can sometimes be more challenging than the average client.

** If you are an advanced trainer, you'll LOVE it! It makes attracting profitable family clients with an AMAZING (and super easy!) training experience an absolute SNAP — freeing you up to spend more time on your complicated cases.

Not right now, but check back in the future.

The program is priced for a single trainer, but we totally get you may want someone else to teach the program, too. So, yes – another trainer is cool, but you MUST be working for the same company.  You’ll be sharing a login – so you’ll want to be sure that it’s someone that you trust.

Sure! The course materials are all in English, and we take Visa, MC and AMEX from anywhere in the world.

Since our materials are downloadable, unfortunately, there's really no way to bring the program back with the tag still on. So, it is non-refundable. This policy is designed to protect the integrity and content of the program information.

More than you’re charging now! 

Your families will be getting a $200 online program for FREE plus SPECIALIZED family training designed specifically for their needs. We suggest you charge between 15–25% more than your normal rate. So you can see how easily this program pays for itself!

Nope. You can use the curriculum by itself — and let them read the e–book, but we think you'll LOVE having the online program too. Families need WAY more than training skills for their dog, and our online program (with all of its fun videos) delivers all the family intel for you before you even walk in the door, giving you more time for the fun stuff — training!

Yes, you can teach the program and the downloadable materials are yours to keep. 

But... passing up the membership? Hmmm... could be an epic fail – here’s what you would miss out on: 

• Access to the websites for the programs
• The ability share PEACE LOVE KIDS & DOGS
• Access to all updates or new content that is added to the programs
• Being a member of the Private FB group 
• The Live Pro Q&A sessions AND 
• All the networking and community vibes! Once you’re in, you won’t want to leave! 

It's all online and downloadable in a SNAP!

The handouts are fixed, but many of them have a space where you can add your business information.

This curriculum is specifically designed for private sessions, but we've got you covered. 

If you’re looking for a super fun program to teach in a training school setting, KID DOG CENTRAL could be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s THE most flexible Kids & Dogs ONLY curriculum (and SO much more!) that can be taught as a Summer/Day Camp, Weekend FUNshops, or weekly classes. 

Not at all. But even if social sites aren’t your cup of tea, we think you’ll LOVE our PRIVATE Facebook group. It’s where we share all the latest tips, tricks and info not available to anyone else. Plus, the FB group takes advantage of the collective wisdom of all of our smart AND supportive trainers. If you still don’t want to connect that way, no worries, you can join us for our live calls and ask your questions there.

The live calls happen every quarter. We’ll bring you new strategies for dealing with your family clients and give you the opportunity to ask questions live.

Our course focuses on the family relationship with their new dog, so you won't find items super specific to puppies. However, the first session is designed to let you work in what you feel the family needs. We usually recommend a single pre–puppy (or just got the puppy!) session separate from the package to address these items. Other families choose to leave out some of what is covered in the final session to make room for puppy specifics up front.

Our course is designed for helping families create a GREAT relationship with their dog. While following the program may prevent many behavior issues from starting, there's no substitute for a trainer's eyes and ears on the ground. If you spot any red flags, put our program on pause IMMEDIATELY and use your expertise to deal with those issues straight away — or refer out to a specialist in your area! The faith your families have in your will skyrocket when you bring them all the resources their particular situation needs.

Absolutely! 100%. We have seen it time and again — parents don't want to go it alone. They NEED someone to personally guide them through this experience. So YOU will be the most important part of this package. 

Families are desperate for someone to hold their hand and show them how to make living with their new dog easier. By the end of this program, you’ll be their personal HERO!

No sneaky–peeks on this one, but we're happy to share some of the things that makes it so special:

• Simplify the skills training so they learn and practice MORE
• Zip through a quick review of what they learned during the week in the online program
• Play training games and involve every member of the family
• Absolutely MAXIMIZE the use of a new skill for the dog in the family's life every week
• Our unique way of tracking and inspiring the WHOLE family’s progress - reminding them of just how well they're all doing!!
