Yes even if your dog could win a gold medal for barking!
Yes even if your dog is stubborn.
Yes even if you wish you'd never gotten the bloody dog in the first place because it feels like your dog is just ruining your life!
Without spending hours running your dog with the hope of tiring them out enough just to behave for 2 minutes when your visitors arrive. Without spending thousands on obedience training that falls apart as soon as the training stops. Without being mean to your dog!
Does this sound like your dog?
How do I know? Because once upon a time, I felt just like you did. But I don't feel like that anymore!
I was once an everyday dog owner like you, with a reactive dog...
I felt defeated. All the TV dog trainers made it look so easy. But now, my German Shepherd puppy, Kaz, was aggressive and I had no idea how to fix it.
I felt powerless as I watched her lunge and bark at other dogs on walks. I didn't know how to help her.
The stress was unbearable. Every walk felt like a battle, my heart racing with fear that she might attack another dog. I couldn't enjoy spending time with Kaz anymore.
The worst part was the judgement from other dog owners. They would scold me for having an aggressive dog, as if it was all my fault. I felt like a terrible owner, like I had failed my dog.
I thought socialization was the answer, but it only made things worse. Every time we left the house, Kaz would get attacked by another dog, reinforcing her fear and aggression.
It got to the point where Kaz and I wouldn't leave the house at all. I was trapped, with no idea how to help my beloved dog.
Kaz is the dog who started The Manners Academy. I wish I had The Manners Academy available to me when I had Kaz! It would have helped me to understand what she needed to help her, instead of me trying everything and making everything worse!
Because the lessons I learned from trying to help her has helped me help hundreds of dogs with behaviour challenges... just like yours - let's face it, if you're reading this you probably need help with your dog.
A dog who can go places (even if they are reactive)
A dog who can walk nicely on leash (even in busy places)
A dog who can relax (even when you're talking to a friend)

For the last decade I've been obsessed with creating a true partnership with my dogs. I got sick of my dogs choosing my partner over me!
It got me thinking... what sort of relationship do I really want with my dog? Well, I want the relationship you see in the movies, or at least as close to it as possible.
I've finally got the recipe right! After 10 years of work, and collaborating with some of the worlds best trainers in various fields (from Neuro Science, to Assistance Dog Training, Sports Training, Detection and Military Working Dog Training).
I've helped hundreds of dog owners learn to work together as unstoppable team! Even conquering reactivity, aggression, not listening, coming when called, walking nicely on leash, not jumping up and not embarrassing their owners! And I want to help you too!
So come join us in The Manners Academy!

Even if your dog won't take treats.
Even if your dog doesn't like other dogs.
Even if your dog is the craziest dog who ever lived.
Even if your dog is scared of their own shadow.
Even if your dog is aggressive.

The Manners Academy is perfect for barky dogs. You will learn exactly what to do for your dog to help them. Not a run of the mill solution, which might work for some dogs and not for others. These solutions though, may not help dogs who bark when you're not home, but we'll definitely discuss how to help dogs who bark when you're not home.
The Manners Academy works for all breeds of dog. Because you don't get fed a solution that might or might not work. You learn how to help your dog and adjust the training to suit your and your dog's needs. Every dog is different. And the reason The Manners Academy is so successful is because it really teaches you about your dog!
In The Manners Academy you'll learn exactly how to help your walk politely next to you and you'll even learn how to get your dog to settle next to you when talking to a friend. Even if they have a dog! Yes, these things are some of my favourite things to help dog owners with because it means you and your dog can enjoy your lives together so much more!

If you want to have a next level relationship with your dog. A dog who does things for you. Not for food, not for toys... you! Then The Manners Academy will be perfect for you & your dog!
By getting to know who your dog is and what they need you will not only have a better relationship with your dog but your dog will also be more obedient!
Who doesn't want that? The Manners Academy is based on relationship work and Neuro Science, yet easy to understand and follow!
If you're looking for a magic wand, you won't find it here. In fact, you won't find it anywhere. While trainers can help with shortcuts, the reality is if you want change you must change what you're doing.
You will also need to go through the information. Just buying the course will not train your dog, I wish it did - but training is fun anway so it's not so bad!
And your dog needs repetitions of the lessons. Sometimes a few, sometimes many, depending on their learning style.
When Does it Start
You can start today! There are 3 trainings that you definitely want to get a head start on!
But our Zoom Calls start Monday 16 January 2023 at 8.30pm NZ time (and weekly same bat-time, same bat-place there after). During these calls we make sure you and your dog get help so that you guys aren't left stuck!
There's also an encore call at 9am Tuesdays (NZ Time) if you can't make Monday nights!
But you can absolutely also use the Facebook Group to get help!
What if I can't make the calls?
Don't worry, you'll find the replay in The Manners Academy Portal in The Dog Training Lab!
So you definitely won't miss out! You can even submit questions and videos in the FB Group for feedback!
Let me show you Your Manners Academy Portal:
I really think in person training would be better. Why isn't this in person?
I've tested a lot of different styles to teach owners and dogs.
Online gives me the opportunity to make sure that you have all the resources at your finger tips! Then if we need to meet in person, you'll only need one or two sessions rather than 10 or more!
This is is much better value for you! And this way you'll get the benefit of seeing how we solve other's challenges - this will not only help you now, but for your future dogs as well!
How Does the Program Work?
You get 3 games every dog should know (I recommend you start here), then I recommend you go through Teach Your Dog to Listen.
Then, every week for 12 weeks, new trainings are given to you to cover a theme (e.g. problem barking, walking nicely, etc.) and we also have a Zoom call once a week and a private FB Group so you and your dog can get all the help you need!
Everything I show you will help you build a better relationship with your dog and you will learn how to solve their unique challenges! Yes, even if new ones come up!
Why should I join?
Having a well behaved dog saves me money. Instead of booking my dog into a kennel and then having the stress of them being full all the time, I just spend a little more on dog friendly accommodation and it saves me stress and worry.
Having a dog who can do more stuff with me, makes my life more enjoyable. I want that for you too, if that's what you want!
The Manners Academy clients can enjoy taking their dogs with them and enjoy their lives with their dogs a whole lot more!
