Have a new puppy and want to raise it right? We’ll show you how it’s done
The experiences your pup has and how he is treated in his first year have a tremendous affect on the adult dog he will become.
Neglecting this important early stage of your dog’s life can result in behavioral issues and fear that could take years of hard training work to recover from.
Some dogs never get past puppyhood trauma!
These issues can occur even for well-meaning owners who don’t mistreat their pups — but neglect to socialize or instill good puppy habits early on.
In The Puppy Raising Blueprint, we’ll explain the science behind how puppies learn and how you can set your pup up for success early on, creating a confident, happy pup that grows into a well-mannered, self-assured adult dog.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
This was perfect. Concise, simple to follow, great approach. Can’t wait to work through it with our little guy!
– Kelly V
Thanks so much for doing this course. I recently adopted a puppy and needed a refresher. This has given me a wonderful set of tools to help build a solid relationship with my pup.
– Holly C
This course has a TON of information. I appreciated the extra notes with the lessons so I could go back later and look things up.
– Deborah F
I loved the detail given and the videos showing how to do it. I would prefer in person training classes, but this is a great second choice.
– Lisa C
Committed to positive reinforcement that’s fear free.
Using force, intimidation, and fear is no way to raise a puppy. That’s why this course is focused around minimally-aversive training techniques that rely on rewarding your dog for making good choices.
Alpha dominance training has been debunked by the latest scientific studies and has been shown to dramatically increase a dog’s stress, even potentially making a dog more fearful and aggressive.
Our Puppy Raising Blueprint only teaches safe, fear-free training strategies that will ensure a strong bond with your pup based on trust and respect.
