Just what we needed during a stressful teething phase!
Wonderfully laid out, friendly and in-depth. This course is a great remedy to feelings of overwhelm and insecurity about your training. Positive dog training is worth it and this course emphasises that in every lesson :)

I was desperate with my new rescue who was in 24/7 flight/flight fear mode from trauma. I have trained other challenging dogs before but none with this level of trauma/fear to everything that moves or changes. This program has been amazing....no my dog is not fully trained to be calm yet...but i have made significant progress by working the training program and so has my dog. SpiritDog does an amazing job of knowing just how to train us humans to be better trainers....like often asking if you are making any of these common mistakes...and of course I was! I am so thankful for this resource and know we will make progress most every day...and that is hopeful!

5 stars are really not enough for this program!
Honestly, I was hesitant to purchase an online training program for my dog. She had already had a ton of training from the basics to agility to rally-o to service dog training. She was a highly trained dog, but she didn't act like it. She had developed the habit of aggressively barking and lunging at pretty much all other dogs, people and even children. We live in the city and it became super stressful to take her for walks. For $49 bucks I figured it was worth the risk and I'm so glad I took the chance. Like all dog training, it's less for dogs than their people. In the first few days of watching the brief, clear, well done videos, I started to understand the problem: stressors were stacking up for her and freaking her out. On top of that I started to really understand her breed and why she was prone to this behavior. I used the techniques in the class and within 2 months of consistently working with her, she has not had any reactive outbursts for a couple of weeks now. In fact she has started to greet other dogs on the street and play with them. This is a MIRACLE! Steffi's technique truly works! Also, even though the Reactivity course is just $49 dollars, you can email her and she really does get back to you with personalized, caring guidance - she was writing me faster than I could get back to her. I can honestly say that I still have not even watched all the videos, but my problem is solved - and if it comes back I really feel confident in knowing what to do. My relationship with my dog is soooo much better now and I love taking her with me on errands again. If you're dealing with a reactive dog, don't give up. I highly recommend this course and this dog training team.

Highly recommend this course!
SpiritDog’s courses are super clear, practical, and detailed. My anxious dog is already calmer, and our bond is stronger than ever. Totally worth every penny—would recommend to anyone needing real results without the overwhelm!

International currency rates for course
I haven't even bought the program or used it, this review is based on purchase price, I do plan to buy however everyone outside the USA (including Australia where I live) should know that the price is US dollars and does not convert to your country of origin online at all so in Aus $149 for the Rescue Dog Bundle is $239.17 which will make it a bit out of reach for some along with the other weekly/monthly dog expenses

Spirit dog training is the best…
Spirit dog training is the best training plan I have ever purchased. I have spent several hundreds of dollars on plan that ended up not helping.
Spirit dog describes in details what is happening in the dogs minds rationalizing why we train a certain way and not another. The write ups and videos are excellent. The steps by steps provide you with a solid tool box to help you get a dog that thinks you are the best thing in his whole while world while building a solid listening relationship.

Simply put, SpiritDog Training is wonderful
SpiritDog Training is an exceptionally supportive and well-crafted program. Our puppy is coming along beautifully with the lessons, and so am I :-) (probably it's most important to train *me* so I can train our pup!) The videos are super clear and Steffi and her staff are incredibly (and quickly) responsive to comments, questions, and emails. I bought the puppy program first and was so impressed with it that I bought the whole set of SpiritDog courses. Best investment I've made for our dog. Thank you SpiritDog!
