The gap most programs miss

Most owners do not fail during the lesson. They struggle between lessons.

You leave the appointment motivated, then real life happens. The dog gets excited at the door, pulls on the walk, breaks Place during dinner, or reacts before you know what to do next. Our program is built to close that gap.

The usual problem

Owners are told what to practice, but they are not given enough structure, tracking, feedback, and accountability to know whether the plan is actually working.

  • Training gets inconsistent after the trainer leaves.
  • Progress is based on memory instead of real patterns.
  • Owners think the dog “knows better,” when the dog may still need clarity.

The TOP Dog solution

We combine weekly private coaching with Pawprint Academy tracking and multiple touchpoints every week, so you have a clear plan, real support, and a way to measure progress.

  • Clear homework after each lesson.
  • Built-in accountability and trainer access.
  • Real-world practice around dogs, people, and distractions.
Every single week

5 weekly touchpoints built into the program.

No guessing what comes next. No drifting between sessions. The same trainer-led cadence repeats each week so your progress compounds for 6 weeks.
