I rate this program 7.5/10 a few points taken off because of some back and forth but the course isnt bad its actually pretty good
Updated Review - Wardogs Academy I want to update my original review with more context, since I think my first pass came off harsher than the full picture deserves. The course itself: genuinely well organized, high production quality, clear modules. Compared to other courses I've bought, this one holds up well on content alone. If you're serious about pursuing government contracting, the material is solid. On leadership: David called me personally to address what happened, took ownership on behalf of his team even for things that weren't directly his doing, and I did get my refund. That mattered to me, and I think it says something real about how he leads. I had limited 1-on-1 time with him, but what I saw, I respected. The part I do want to stay honest about: before purchasing, I asked their sales rep in writing what the refund policy was, and was told there wasn't one - that the 90-day guarantee was the closest equivalent. After I requested a refund, I was given a different, previously undisclosed policy (refund within 2 days if under 20% of material accessed). Those are two written, contradictory answers from the same company, before and after purchase. I'm including this not to slander anyone, but because it's a real, documented experience other buyers should know about - get the refund policy in writing or on a recorded call before you purchase, regardless of what you're told verbally. On the business model itself: government contracting is genuinely difficult - thin margins, real legal exposure if you fail to deliver, and if you mess up you can be barred from government work permanently. Low startup cost is the one real upside. The rest is a lot of grind and risk that isn't for everyone. This may be a great full-time path for the right person; it wasn't the right fit for me specifically. Rating: 3/5. Good course content and a leader who owns his team's mistakes, weighed against a real refund-policy inconsistency that buyers should know about going in. Do your own research, get every policy in writing, and go in clear-eyed about what the business model actually demands day to day.

Thank you for the feedback on the course structure, glad the modules were clear and useful. We want to correct one point for accuracy: we do have a refund policy, and it was communicated to you. You qualify for a refund within 2 days of purchase if less than 20% of the course has been accessed. Our records show you had completed over 80% of the material by the time the refund was requested, which falls outside that window. We processed your refund as a one time courtesy, not because the policy entitled you to one. We like to make sure our students are happy and we genuinely want everyone who comes through our academy to succeed. We take it seriously if any team member gave you information that conflicted with our actual policy, and we're looking into that internally. But to be clear, our position was that you didn't meet the refund requirements given how much of the course you'd completed. We stand by the content and the support we provide to students working through government contracting and believe anyone can be successful if they stick with!
