Second Review

I wrote a very positive review immediately after completing the Puppy Culture streaming video and before getting my puppy. He has been with me for a few days now and I am happy to report that what I learned from the video has been very helpful, especially with regard to both of us progressing with manding and heeling. More importantly, having continued access to the video and being able to go back and rewatch sections when I need guidance and reinforcement — such as with house training — has been extremely valuable. I highly recommend this course.

I loved the With Open Arms and A Level Head training. It was recommended by my breeder for my Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy who was trained on Puppy Culture. We will continue his training and build upon the concepts taught. I continue to review the videos as my puppy grows. I am impressed by the compassion, research, and devotion this course brought to puppy training. Thank you.

Watch it for every puppy and more than once!

I just watched the paid version after I happened to need it last when it was first filmed and free during Covid.
This was SO well done, worth every penny. I learned things about where I went wrong with my 2 girls 4 yrs ago that are 7mo apart. You watch it, process it, shut off the videos and the follies begin lol.
Puppy Culture is a reset, a chance to keep at trying to get the best outcome possible and evolve. I love every part of it, especially the self awareness! I will include a picture of my 3yr old Staffordshire Bull Terrier watching Killer Free Stacks with me. She was following Jane’s hand across the screen and tilting her head at the encouraging words. I could easily see it’s not just me that finds Jane’s tone to be therapeutic . Thank you Team Madcap, you are the very best!
