courses.

Hi there,

This might sound strange coming from someone who sells online dog training courses, but if you’re really struggling with your dog’s training…

Have you ever considered hiring a professional dog trainer to give you in-person lessons?

Because compared to online courses, in-person lessons can be really great.

The dog trainer gives you direction, so you always know what to train next…… They give you feedback, so you always know for sure that you’re doing things right… And if there’s ever something you don’t quite get, you can ask them for guidance.

Getting help from a professional can make training your dog as simple as possible.

The only problem is…

Good dog trainers can be really expensive!

For example, back before I stopped teaching privately to focus on my online SpiritDog courses, I was charging my students $200 per session.

Which is understandably out of many people’s price range.

And if you go cheaper, then you don’t always know what you’re getting.

I’ve heard plenty of horror stories from my students about trainers who used painful choke collars, or who ended up making their dog’s behavior even worse. Hiring a cheap dog trainer can be a minefield.

But what if I told you there was a way to “sidestep” these problems?

What if you could…

Get personal access to an ENTIRE team of world class trainers… for less than $2 per day?

Let me explain.

My name is Steffi Trott, the founder of SpiritDog Training.

And over the last 6 years, I’ve created a lot of courses, mini-courses, books, and workshops to help my students with their dog training problems. In fact, I’ve created so many courses, that it can be hard for a new dog owner to even know where to begin.

Which is why I created…

SpiritDog Academy
Where you get full access to my entire
life’s work (after working with 130,000+ online
and offline students)… for a reasonable
monthly subscription.
 

But that’s not all.

I don’t want to just dump thousands of dog training lessons on your head and tell you “good luck”. That wouldn’t be helpful.

Instead, I want to help you get real results.

Which is why I’ve also made it so that…

SpiritDog Academy is the closest thing possible
to getting private dog training lessons from me and my team of handpicked professionals!

What does that mean?

It means we want to give you all the same things that you’d get from in-person dog training lessons – direction, feedback, and guidance.

To start, when you first join SpiritDog Academy, I’ll ask you a short series of questions about your dog… And then you’ll get your personal training roadmap.

Your personal roadmap is designed to take your dog from where they are right now in their training… to where you want them to be… as fast as possible.

So it tells you exactly which of my courses to go through first…

Which course to go through second…

And so on…

Until your dog has been completely transformed into the loving, highly obedient companion you’ve always wanted!

I first introduced these roadmaps with my Black Friday Bundle in 2023, and they’ve been a huge hit with my students ever since.

Your personal roadmap means you’ll never again have to worry about what you should be doing next.
It charts a clear course through all the uncertainty, and makes your dog training journey super simple.
And the confidence this gives you is AMAZING. Because when you break your dog’s training down into one little step at a time… And you always know exactly what to do next… Suddenly everything becomes 10 times easier. You start to believe that you really can change your dog’s frustrating behavior!
Plus, in case you ever hit
a “road bump” on your dog
training journey, you also get…
Face-to-face
feedback and
guidance from
top trainers

Inside SpiritDog Academy, you’ll also get unprecedented access to me and my team of professional dog trainers.

We hold 3 weekly Zoom calls exclusively for Academy members. So you can ask us your questions live, and get a solution that’s tailored to your unique situation.

 

Of course, if you can’t make it to the calls:

You can always submit your questions… and we’ll address those on the calls (the replay will be available to you).

Or, you can type questions under any lesson you need help with and get an answer within 48 hours from Monday to Friday.

But with these Academy-exclusive Zoom calls, it’s easier for us to dig deeper into your unique problem and figure out the best way to solve it for you.

Think of it like having a professional dog trainer on hand, guiding your training sessions, whenever you need.

And these calls mean you’ll never be left stuck, or scratching your head wondering what to do. They will give you complete peace of mind when training your dog.

(Plus, on these calls we also let Academy members suggest completely NEW courses for us to create. My entire “Long Line Lessons” course, for example, was created because one Academy member was having trouble and needed some step-by-step guidance.)

What makes me so sure I can help you and your dog?

I like how this is breaking things down into much smaller steps.
What I’m most proud of are the countless success stories I hear from my students. Over the last 11 years, I’ve helped over 130,000 dog owners from all around the world. And many of my students write in to tell me how much my teachings have helped them.

One such student is Hannah Chambers.

Hannah was one of my first online students, way back when I first started SpiritDog. She was having trouble with her border collie Zest not paying attention, acting erratically, and being too high energy.

I showed her how to get Zest to focus, and how to build a stronger relationship and bond with her dog.

The result?

In 2023, Hannah and Zest flew to Denmark… To represent Canada at the most recent Dog Agility European Open!

By following my methods, Zest had become a highly trained dog athlete. And she was traveling around the world to compete internationally!

But even if your dog training goals are a little less lofty, I’m certain that my methods can help you too.

As a professional dog trainer, I am delighted

As a professional dog trainer, I am constantly learning from other trainers to improve my art and skill. I have been reviewing Spirit Dog’s Tackling Reactivity course and am delighted. Steffi is extremely knowledgeable and her program is thorough and detailed. She provides students with great clarity on essential topics and phenomenal support with answers to questions and terrific email reminders and teaching tidbits. I have already recommended this course to others and I look forward to reviewing more Spirit Dog courses!

Makes learning
fun and easy

As someone who taught dog training classes for at least a quarter of a century, I struggled with making the exercises into bite size pieces that could be practiced and built upon. SpiritDog does that, and makes learning fun and easy!! And a happy time for all!!

Anna Lee Sanders

“The programming offered by SpiritDog Training is really top notch. I love that each skill is broken down into an easy to follow step-by-step protocol without skipping steps. And this online programming is easy to follow even for someone who is not super tech savvy, or all that experienced with dog training in general.

As a result, the dog/handler team always knows what they are supposed to be doing, and are left feeling empowered vs demotivated! And if there’s ever any question, having a live person available via chat is so valuable!!

The rescue bundle is especially thoughtful in its layout and progression!! I have recommended this protocol to several of my friends and they have executed successfully!

5 stars. Highly recommend!!”

Now, I’m really proud of all my courses. A ton of work went into making each one. And they were all made because, at one point or another, I saw my students had a need that wasn’t being fulfilled.

Which means that almost no matter what behavioral issues your dog has, there’s a course in SpiritDog Academy that will help you fix them.

Here’s all the full-length courses you’ll get access to:

1. Tackling Reactivity

If you dread taking your dog outside, and constantly worry about them seeing something that sets them off, then this is the course for you.

I’ll show you how to identify and manage your dog’s triggers – gradually making them calmer and more predictable in any situation.

Value – $268

Drastic improvements in the first couple of lessons.
Rebecca Adelman

Wow! we’ve seen such drastic improvements with our reactive dog by just implementing some of the suggestions in the first couple of lessons. I can’t wait to see how far we will come after finishing all the lessons with our girl! Thank you Steffi for these amazing classes and helping us tackle our dog’s reactive behavior! I wish we would have found you sooner!

2. Ultimate Puppy Program

I know from personal experience that getting your first puppy can be overwhelming…

And there’s even more pressure because the first year of your puppy’s life is a critical period – with over 60% of all problem behaviors originating during puppyhood!

This program was built to make puppyhood super simple, so you can give your new dog the best possible start in life.

Value – $109

The results have been well worth the small investment.
Topher Gudmand
 

This course has been enlightening.  I have had my 11 week old puppy home with me for two weeks and the tips from this program have made the time much less stressful. The training videos have given us step by step processes to work on and the attentiveness to the comments section has addressed many of the same questions that I have had as well.  This course has been an extremely valuable tool and I look forward to diving deeper.  The results have been well worth the small investment. Thank you!

 

This course will teach your dog all the basic (but powerful) cues that they need to know – sit, stay, lie down, and so on,

You’ll also get fun games that teach your dog to pay attention to you – which is crucial no matter what you’re teaching your dog.

Value – $116

 

There’s few things more frustrating than when you call your dog and they suddenly pretend they can’t hear you!

And it can even be dangerous if they ever ignore you and run up to an unfriendly animal, or into traffic!

By following the step by step process in Recall Expert, you can feel safe in the knowledge that your dog will come back to you when you call – every time.

Value – $349

The world outside has a ton of distractions for your dog – interesting sights, smells, sounds, and more. And all this can make it hard for them to focus on you and what you’re telling them.

These games and exercises will teach your dog to calm down and focus on you, without getting distracted.

Value – $69

You don’t need to go outside to train!

These indoor games are perfect for reactive dogs, busy owners, or just plain old rainy days.

And everything we use in this class, you already have at home: pillows, blankets, stepping stools, paper towel rolls… So no need to buy any specialized equipment whatsoever!

Value – 99$

Is your dog shy around new people, new dogs, or new situations?

This is surprisingly common – especially for rescue dogs. And this course will help you understand the triggers that make your dog feel anxious, and teach you exercises to help bring them out of their shell.

Value – 349$

Imagine the looks on your friends faces when they see your dog spinning left and right, weaving through your legs, or even doing a handstand!

It’s easier than you think to turn your pup into a circus dog!

Value – 109$

Many owners don’t even notice when their dog is getting a little thick around the waist.

But being overweight can increase your dog’s risk for multiple diseases, and stop them from enjoying life to the fullest!

Taught by certified canine fitness instructor Kim Fuqua, this course will get your dog into great shape, prevent injuries, and achieve their goal weight.

Value – 109$

It’s incredibly fun to throw a frisbee and watch your dog chase and catch it midair!

And not only is it a great workout for your dog, but it’s easy for you. Learn how to play frisbee with your dog with this course taught by professional frisbee performer Felicia Foy.

Value – 69$

Have you ever taken your dog out somewhere, only for them to lose their mind and completely embarrass you?

Avoid those silently-judging stares by teaching your dog how to focus in public.

Value – 49$

Focus in Public is precisely what we needed.
Rebecca Adelman

I’m working through the Focus in Public course with my mini-Australian Shepherd puppy, Frankie. It’s astonishing how much progress she’s made in a few short months. Focus in Public is precisely what we needed. Before we started the course, Frankie was easily distracted by cars, bicycles, people, and (of course) other dogs. Now, I have a (mostly) well-behaved dog when I walk her in the neighbourhood, into town, and on hikes.

To stay healthy, dogs need to be both mentally and physically stimulated – and neither will be found in a yard that is always the same old, same old.

It’s not as hard as you think to set up your own agility training course. And then you and your dog can dive into the sport of agility from the comfort of your own backyard!

Includes over 100 lessons, and instructions on how to make your own jumps.

Value – 69$

Discover unlimited possibilities for playing and training – perfect for dogs of any age, breed and physical condition.

Play inside, outside, up, down, anywhere you want. Your dog will never be bored again!

Value – 99$

If you’re struggling with potty training your dog, and you’re not sure why, then here’s your answer.

In this course, I break down the causes of common potty problems, and give you a step-by-step program to fix them.

Every dog can learn to go potty outside. Let me show you how.

Value – 29$

If you have more than one dog, then you probably know the chaos that comes from trying to train them together.

With this course, your dogs will learn how to take turns in their training, and wait patiently.

Value – 79$

“Yes, I want you to throw this ball for me. No, I don’t want to give it to you.”

If your dog refuses to return the balls or sticks that you throw, then here’s how to teach your dog that bringing back the toy is all part of the game!

Value – 19$

Once your dog knows basic obedience, it’s time to step it up a notch.

This course will show you how to progressively teach your dog to sit, lie down, stand up, and stay for longer durations of time, and from further away… Using both verbal and hand cues!

Value – 129$

It’s incredibly frustrating trying to get your dog’s attention whenever they’re excited and distracted by something else.

So here’s how to get an instant response from your pet, even when there’s food around, other dogs, or they’re just crazy happy to see you!

Value – 129$

When you take your dog out for a walk, do they end up walking you?

If you’re sick and tired of being pulled along behind your dog, then this is the course for you.

Once your dog learns to walk calmly by your side, you’ll finally be able to take relaxing walks that aren’t a chore.

Value – 119$

If your dog often gets crazy and over-excited, these 23 lessons will show you a step-by-step system for calming them down.

By the end of this course you will have a more relaxed, more patient, and more obedient dog.

Here’s a small taste of what you’ll discover inside:

  • How to instantly calm your dog down… By holding treats in front of their face! (Yes, really. But you must do it in this specific way…)
  • The easiest way to get your dog to sit perfectly still, even when visiting the dreaded V-E-T…
  • Do you ever talk to your dog in a high-pitched “baby voice”? Here’s why you could accidentally be making your dog’s behavior worse!

Value – 49$

Is your dog’s training taking longer than you thought?

Discover the secret to speeding up your dog’s progress… Without giving them any extra training!

In this course, I reveal 35 mental workouts you can give your dog. Puzzles that will improve their problem solving skills, make them calmer and more focused, and speed up their training progress.

And although these puzzles are challenging for your dog… They’re all very easy for you to set up!

Value – 109$

Imagine living with someone who shouts at your friends whenever they come round…

Someone who steals your food when you’re not looking… Who pokes and prods you for attention, when you’re just trying to relax… And who smells terrible, because they refuse to bathe.

You wouldn’t tolerate this behavior from a human, so why tolerate it from your dog?

With this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Invite your friends round without the embarrassment of your dog barking at them, jumping up at them, or trying to bolt out the front door
  • Leave food up on the kitchen counter or dining table, without having to constantly watch your dog and worry about them eating something that could hurt (or even kill) them
  • Groom your dog – brushing their coat, trimming their nails, and giving them a bath – without any drama, or hurt feelings
  • Call your dog in from the yard and have them obey almost instantly, without them pretending not to hear you and leaving you standing there feeling silly
  • Shut your dog alone in a room, without them going crazy and trying to escape like you’ve jailed them in a max-security prison cell
  • Watch TV and relax in the evenings, without your dog being constantly needy for attention or zooming around trying to get you to play
  • And much more…

In short, the House Manners course will turn your dog into a perfect housemate that you can be proud of.

 

And that’s still not all…

Uli Ross

“I have been using courses from Spirit Dog Training since my first dog Lila was just a puppy. I have since joined the Spirit Dog Training Academy and I’m a fan. We are working on a variety of things but currently I’m focusing on the mat work lessons in the House Manners course and by following each step as explained and participating in the community and seeking trainer feedback, I am seeing real success with my second dog, a young 4 month old puppy. Dog training requires patience and consistency so if you expect results in just one attempt at a lesson, it might not work but if you go slow, invest time and work with your dogs with love and positive attitude these courses can really help guide your training journey. With every lesson I gain confidence in being a positive dog trainer and when I struggle, I can get constructive feedback and I appreciate it. Thank you Steffi and Team!!  There is so much to learn and I’m here for it all. You get out of it what you put in.”
