Very informative. Learned lots of new techniques I wasn’t familiar with. Can’t wait to apply.

Absolutely fantastic

I first came across Puppy Culture through our breeder and decided to purchase the full bundle before our puppy arrived and I’m sooo glad I did.
I genuinely can’t recommend it highly enough. The ethos and gentle, thoughtful approach really resonated with me, and I feel much more confident about what to do and that I am giving my pup the very best start. The courses and other resources feel grounded in real understanding of dogs, rather than rigid training rules.
I also love the format of the course. It’s relaxed, natural, and refreshingly unpolished in the best way, not overly curated or clinical. Jane's love for her dogs, and passion for dogs in general, comes through so clearly and makes the whole experience feel so warm and authentic.
If you’re getting a puppy, I think buying this would be one of the best decisions you would make for you and your pup!

WOW

We first heard about Puppy Culture from the breeder when we went to pick out our girl at three weeks. As soon as we were home, we ordered the coarse. Over the next four weeks we both went through all the lessons.

The next four weeks passed and finally was able to pick up Clementine. From day one she responded unbelievably to each lesson. We are working on day four and she is manding, mastered the box game, does great with recalling, and quickly learning leash training. This has been the most enjoyable puppy training we’ve had and can’t thank you enough.

Feel more prepared to take home my pup

Great content and videos, great to have the review documents and student questions and training videos included so it gives me an idea of what to expect in reality. Also the Facebook group is very helpful with questions, too.
