The Thinking Dog Academy relies on a proven and rewarding system to create the canine companion you’ve always wished for but didn’t know exactly how to get. Delivered to you through detailed coaching, we provide results & reliability for the real world. We understand that dogs are thinking, reasoning entities that are capable of making choices. Teaching you how to clearly communicate and become a teacher to your dog, together we create a dog who learns to properly think and reason his way through situations. We create a dog who is empowered with control over himself and learns freedom of choice through the art of good decision-making, not conditioning to patterns of response. Success is 80% teaching of owners how to live with and become teachers to their dogs. You have to live with your dog, not the trainer.
