The BetterDog App

The house, after we leave.

We record the session in audio, so you can stay focused on the learning. Every question and answer is recorded. The little hints. The tidbits you share during the session — recorded. Then we prepare a comprehensive guide that feels like the session you just had. You get a custom manual for your dog. Same day. Here.

30 days of phone, email, and text support included. Further in-person training requires a pass or pay-as-you-go booking.

A custom manual for your dog.

We record the session in audio, so you can stay focused on the learning. Every question and answer is recorded. The little hints. The tidbits you share during the session — recorded. Then we prepare a comprehensive guide that feels like the session you just had. It lands here. Not in a lost email.

The BetterDog Method

The ebook. How to speak dog. Lead with calm.

Jon and Nancy. Distilled from real in-home sessions. 101 pages. In the app.

The cover.

This isn’t a summary. It’s the book: how a dog decides, why calm holds, what you do at the door and on the path. 101 pages. In the app, next to the manual from your session.

We don’t put the copyright page on the website. The book is in the app.

The audiobook

The book, read. In the app. In the car.
