The Just Right Dog Membership

Not too much. Not too little. Just right.

Remember Goldilocks? One bowl of porridge was too hot, one was too cold, and one was just right.

Dog training has a sweet spot, too. You probably don't need a dog who can execute 47 obedience cues or perform like they're auditioning for the canine Olympics — and honestly, who has the time to teach that? But you also don't want to spend your days playing catch-up, wondering how to help your dog settle, cope with an overwhelming world, and communicate what they need.

The Just Right Dog began as my comprehensive training course — full access to my brain, without having to attend every single one of my classes. Now it's a membership, because living with a dog isn't a six-week project. It's ongoing, it changes with the seasons of your dog's life, and you deserve support that sticks around for all of it.

This isn't about creating a robot in a fur coat. It's not about perfection, rigid rules, or checking off an endless list of obedience commands. It's about understanding your dog, building a relationship based on trust and communication, and having help there when you need it.

The just right dog an unconventional, compassionate approach to dog training and care that relaxes rigid perfectionism, embraces living with imperfect pets, and focuses on realistic everyday welfare over strict obedience

The framework prioritizes mental well-being, stress reduction, and practical living—especially for owners managing chronic illness, busy lives, or behaviorally complex dogs—rather than shaming caregivers for falling short of idealized standards

What's included

• The complete Just Right Dog course — the skills, concepts, and practical knowledge from across my training programs, including a complete pre-recorded Brilliant Basics program and all of my downloadable training videos, to work through at your own pace.

• The Thinking Dog course, in full — my course on how dogs think, learn, and experience the world.

• Two live Ask the Trainer sessions every month (day/time to change each month: one will be scheduled on a weeknight, the other on a weekend morning)— bring me your questions live on Zoom. Every session is recorded, so you can watch (or rewatch) whenever it suits you.

• A private member community — people who get it, sharing real life with imperfect, wonderful dogs.

• Four brand-new online seminars every year — fresh material created for members, and every seminar is added to The Just Right Dog afterwards, so your library keeps growing the longer you're a member.

• 15% off classes, Canine Enrichment Center rentals, and my other pre-recorded courses.

• Your rate stays locked for as long as you're a club member. Prices may rise for new members; yours won't.

The 2027 seminars

• February — Regulation Activities: practical ways to help your dog settle, decompress, and come back down when the world feels like a lot.

• May — Connection Games: games that build your connection with your dog — right when spring arrives and everything outside gets distracting again.

• August — Movement: why movement matters so much for dogs, and why letting your dog move will always work better than asking them to stay still.

• November — Loose Leash Walking: calmer, more enjoyable walks for both ends of the leash.

Your dog doesn't need to be perfect. Neither do you.
