Dog Training At Home

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about training your dog at home. Can't find an answer? We're a message away.

Getting Started

How does Dog Training At Home work?

You answer a short quiz about your dog's breed, age, and behavior, and we generate a personalized, day-by-day training plan built on positive-reinforcement methods you can follow at home.

Do I need any prior training experience?

Not at all. Every plan is written in simple, step-by-step language designed for first-time dog owners as well as experienced handlers.

Training

What kind of training methods do you use?

All of our plans use positive-reinforcement techniques — rewarding the behavior you want rather than punishing your dog. These methods are humane, effective, and recommended by modern trainers.

How long does a training plan take?

Most plans run for 30 days with a few minutes of practice each day, though you can go at your own pace and revisit any day as often as you need.

Can I use this for a puppy or an older dog?

Yes. Plans are tailored to your dog's age and stage, whether you have a new puppy or an adult dog learning new habits.

Is there an AI trainer I can ask questions?

Yes. Every paid plan includes an AI trainer chat built right into your dashboard. Ask follow-up questions about any day, get troubleshooting tips, or adapt an exercise to your dog — any time, day or night. It knows your dog's specific plan, so the guidance is tailored to you.

Plans & Billing

Can I download my plan?

Yes — every plan can be downloaded as a PDF so you can keep it handy or print it out.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is shown on our Pricing page and at checkout. We offer options to fit different needs.

What's the difference between a one-time plan and a membership?

A one-time plan is a single purchase you keep — the full 30-day program, PDF download, progress tracking, and AI trainer chat, with no recurring charge. A membership renews automatically and unlocks plans as part of your subscription. You can compare the current options on our Pricing page.

Can I cancel, and do you offer refunds?

You can cancel a membership or the Verified badge any time from your dashboard, and you'll keep access through the end of the period you've already paid for. Because plans are generated instantly and delivered digitally, all sales are final and non-refundable. If a membership lapses, any one-time plans you purchased stay yours.

Does my plan or AI trainer chat expire after 30 days?

No. The 30 days are a suggested calendar, not a deadline. Your plan, your progress, and your AI trainer chat stay available in your dashboard well beyond 30 days, so you can go at your own pace and revisit any day. (Membership-unlocked plans stay available while your membership is active.)

Dog Profiles & Community

Can I create a public profile for my dog?

Yes! From your dashboard you can build a public profile with a photo, cover image, bio, and the skills your dog has learned, then make it public to appear on our "Meet the Pack" directory. It's a fun way to show off your dog's progress and inspire other owners — and you're always in control of whether it stays public.

What is the Verified badge and how do I get one?

The Verified badge is the blue check shown on a dog's public profile — a trust signal that it's a real, active member's dog. It's a small monthly subscription available for dogs with a paid plan (free previews can't be verified). You can add it or cancel it any time from your dashboard or billing page.

How do I get my dog featured in the directory?

Our Dog Profiles page has a limited number of Featured slots plus one full-width Premium spot at the top. From your dashboard you can feature your dog for a set number of prepaid days (buy more to add days on top). Featured placement needs a profile and cover photo; the Premium spot also needs a Verified badge. Slots are first come, first served — if they're full, you can join the waitlist and we'll email you when one opens.

What are "paws" on a dog's profile?

Paws are our version of a like. Any signed-in member can "give a paw" to a dog's public profile to cheer on their training — you just need a free account to paw (this keeps things fair and prevents spam). You can paw any dog, including your own, and tap again to remove it. It's a simple, friendly way for the community to show support for a pup's progress.

Does my dog earn a certificate when we finish?

Yes. When you complete all 30 days of a paid plan, we automatically issue a personalized Certificate of Completion with a unique certificate ID and a public verification link anyone can check. You can download it as a PDF from your dashboard, and we email you a copy too.
