A Must, Excellent!!

I am so fortunate to have come across Puppy Culture and MadCap University. I have read and studied many different training styles but Jane really speaks to me. She explains and demonstrates thoughtful science backed training in a way that really breaks it down and it is easy to understand. I have watched Puppy Culture, With Arms Wide Open, The Mother of all Behaviors, and I am now half way through reading When Pigs Fly. I hope there will be continued contend to come at MadCap University and or perhaps an ongoing online course and or membership program for training. I really like the FB page link too. Thank you!

Life Changing

We raised a pup using this program last year and I can't say enough good things about it. It helped me understand what the puppy was going through developmentally so I knew how to best meet her needs. It was such an easy process! I never understood how important naps were! She is the most well rounded puppy we have ever owned. It started with Puppy Culture and continued through this course.

I’m so thankful to be introduced to this knowledge! I thought I knew a little something, but now I feel like I knew nothing. Now, I’m even more excited to get my golden doodle puppy!

Thankful for this course

My breeder recommended this course to me and I am thankful for it. I watched this prior to my puppy coming home and have referred back to it several times the first week for reassurance. I have also had my kids watch this with me so we can all be on the same page.

Excellent Course!! Highly Recommend!! A MUST!!

My breeder uses this course to begin training her pups prior to home placement. She recommends to all prospective parents. Our puppy, Tibetan Terrier - Harvey,, will be 14 weeks tomorrow. This has been extremely helpful! We have continued your training process as our puppy grows. It is imperative for me to be able to go back to the course and reread/listen to specific training methods as we approach them. As you have said, it isn't always easy but it will be worth it in the long run. Patience is a virtue. We have had dogs before but never the clear understanding of their needs until now. I know so many people training incorrectly and not understanding what their puppy/dog needs. They say it is the dog itself and nothing they can do and put on a shock collar. This is very upsetting. Thank you for teaching us how to communicate and thrive with our precious puppy!! I highly recommend this course to any new puppy owner regardless if you have had puppies in the past. Learn to communicate with your puppy right from the start. Put in the effort and be patient. It will pay off!
