The Online Dog Trainer · Doggy Dan

Your dog isn't the problem.

So why won't he listen?

Because every method you've tried went after the barking, the lunging and the pulling — the symptoms. Change what your dog believes about who's leading, and the barking stops on its own.

Doggy Dan teaches it in a free class. No shock collars, no food bribes, no hundreds of games.

You've already tried things

And none of it was your fault

You bought the clicker. You still carry the treat pouch everywhere. You paid a trainer who came once, took your money and left. Every one of them chased the behaviour instead of the reason for it.

The hard truth

Your dog isn't broken. The method was.

Training only works when it speaks the language every dog already understands. Chase the symptom and it moves somewhere else. Change the thing underneath and the symptoms stop needing to be managed.

  • Jumping

What Dan changes

What your dog believes about who's leading

Loving leadership, not dominance

Dan has been a certified trainer since 2009 in the Amichien® Bonding method, and has worked with over 3,500 dogs across the UK, America, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

He studied positive-only and correction-based training — including Ian Dunbar and Cesar Millan — before settling on his own approach. He's a published author with Random House / Penguin, and he trains the trainers: over 200 professionals now teach this method.

He believes in minimal force and loving leadership. That is the whole basis of it.

Results quickly — under 7 days

That's the site's own claim, and it's a claim about speed, not a promise about your dog. What you can judge for yourself is the free class.

How you actually use it

300+ videos, on the phone in your pocket

The whole method is on demand and mobile, so you use it where the behaviour actually happens — at the door, on the lead, in the park, at two in the morning.

No scheduling and no classes to get to. You go at your own pace, and every program is fully captioned.

Calm your dog in seconds

Settle him so he'll actually listen — even somewhere busy and loud.

Stop reactive aggression

The lead pulling, and the dog-on-dog reactivity that makes walks something you dread.

Understand why he does it

Including the ways your own reactions have been quietly reinforcing it.

Enjoy the dog again

The point of all of it. Walks stop being a negotiation.

Is this for you?

Yes, if…

  • Your dog barks, lunges, pulls or ignores you when it matters most.
  • You've tried other methods and they didn't hold.
  • You want nothing to do with shock collars or force.
  • You'd rather learn it once than book a trainer every month.

Probably not, if…

  • You want someone else to train the dog for you. You do this part.
  • You're after competition obedience or protection work.
  • Your dog has a medical issue — see a vet first, not a trainer.

Before you register

Straight answers

Is the class really free?

Yes. You register with an email address and watch it. The paid programs exist and you'll be told about them afterwards, but the class itself costs nothing.

Will this work on an older dog?

The method is taught for adolescent and adult dogs as well as puppies — the Dog Calming Code is described as being for all dogs, and there's a separate puppy program if yours is very young.

Do I need treats or special equipment?

No. The method deliberately avoids food bribes, clickers, shock collars, prong collars and gadgets. You need yourself and your dog.

How much time does it take?

There's no schedule and no live class to attend — it's 300+ on-demand videos you work through at your own pace, on a phone if that's easier.

What if the program isn't right for me?

The programs carry a money-back guarantee. Check the current terms on the site at the time you buy.

See it work on your own dog

You already know the barking isn't going to fix itself, and you already know another treat pouch isn't the answer. Watch the class and judge the method on your own dog.
