Kitchen, door, walk. Not a neutral room where none of it actually happens.
$500 tax-in. No per-head surprise. Everyone who lives with the dog is in the session.
We record our session so you can focus on learning. The guide lands the same day in the app.
Thus far have had an incredible experience with better dogs! We have only taken the introductory class so far, where Nancy sat us down took us a bit through dog psychology before she started teaching us practical skills to help take command.
All I can say is WOW, I was sceptical of some reviews saying they’ve seen monumental changes in under 24 hours but they are all 100% factual. Jon is very knowledgeable and clear and direct with communication and what needs to be done.
This has got to be the best trainer ive come across, we had Jon for our four dogs, two of which we're highly problematic. He came in super well organized with a plan for each dog already which he can tailor further.
Not a class
| BetterDog | The class. The gadget. The other trainer. | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Your kitchen. Your door. The walk that actually falls apart. | A hall where none of the real problems exist. |
| Who | Jon or Nancy, with you throughout the session. | Whoever’s on the schedule. A different instructor next week. |
| How | Calm. Never a shock collar. Treats aren’t the method. | A collar, a clicker, or a bag of chicken. |
| The dogs | The whole household. One fee. $500 tax-in. | Per dog. Per class. A package to decode. |
| What you leave with | A custom manual that feels like the session you just had. Same day, in the app. | A handout. Or nothing. |
| After | 30 days. Phone, email, text. Jon or Nancy. | See you next Tuesday. If the class still has a spot. |
The Life Changer Session is $500 tax-in — one household fee, every dog in the house. About three hours in your home. The Unlimited Training Pass is $1,200/year or $125/month on a 12-month commitment, if you want follow-ups and Pack Walks after that first session. No packages to decode.
Yes. Your dog’s world is your kitchen, your door, your street. That’s where we work. Not a studio where none of the real problems exist.
Treats are not a crutch and not the lead. We use Emotional Marking: verbal praise, touch, play, and food used strategically — a crate that needs to feel safe, the end of a hard nail trim. Your dog listens because the communication is clear, not because you’re a walking snack.
Everyone who regularly lives with the dog. Adults, kids, the sitter, the walker, Grandma if she’s in the rotation. The first session is mandatory for the household. Mixed signals are how training dies.
Block three hours. One hour on how dogs think and communicate. Two hours hands-on — we do it, then you do it, until everyone in the house is confident. We record our session so you can focus on learning. Your questions, our answers and the details you share help us build your guide. We turn it into a custom guide for your dog, with the steps you practised together. It’s ready the same day in the BetterDog App.
Not as a drop-in. Pack Walks are for BetterDog members — especially households who’ve been turning around at the sight of another leash. Start with the in-home session. Members on the Unlimited Pass walk free. $60 per walk otherwise.
