Walks feel like a battle
Your dog lunges, barks, or freezes the second another dog appears. You scan every corner, cross the street to dodge triggers, and come home wired instead of relaxed. A walk should not feel like this.

Built around your dog and your homeMethod designed and overseen by our coaches
If you have one of these dogs
Recognize this?
You can't leave the house in peace
The barking, the chewed-up door, the puddle by the mat. You watch your dog panic on the camera and feel sick about it. You've stopped saying yes to things just so you don't have to leave them.
Guests, kids, the doorbell, all of it
Your dog is tense when company comes over, on edge around the kids, set off by the vacuum or fireworks. You're embarrassed, exhausted, and quietly afraid of the day something goes wrong.
And you blame yourself
You've tried YouTube, friends' advice, maybe a class that didn't stick. You wonder if you're failing them. You're not. Your dog is scared, not bad, and a clear plan can change that.
The method behind the plan
Built on the force-free protocols our coaches designed
Every plan starts from the same place: the method behind every plan was developed by specialist dog behavior coaches. You answer a short quiz, and we translate your dog's profile into a clear, week-by-week plan they can actually follow.
Designed and overseen by our coaches
The exercises, the order, and the progressions come from protocols our affiliated coaches co-developed. Force-free throughout, no shock collars, no fear, no dominance tricks.
Shaped around your dog
Your quiz answers, their triggers, their history, and your daily routine decide what goes into your plan and what gets left out. No generic checklist.
Written by a coach before it reaches you
Every plan is written by one of our coaches before it reaches you, so what lands in your inbox is something they would put their name on.
Our coaches specialize in force-free behavior work and have spent years with anxious and reactive dogs. They designed the protocols your plan is built on, and one of them writes every plan before it is sent.

Our story
I love my dog. I still let her down. Then one trainer showed me what real help looks like.
I got Luna in the middle of a burnout. I would love to say I did everything right, but I didn't. I was deep in my own dip, I barely left the house, and during the puppy months that matter most I hardly did anything with her. That was on me, completely. By the time I came up for air, we were already starting from way behind.
And it showed in everything. I couldn't sit on a terrace with her. I couldn't have anyone over, partly because she couldn't cope with it and partly because, honestly, I could barely cope with it myself. The one thing that was meant to help me through that period, my dog, had quietly become the thing holding me back. When I met my partner it held her back too: no friends round, no spontaneous plans, everything arranged around what Luna could handle.
Read Luna's full storyShow less
So I did what you're told to do. I tried things myself. I had a behaviour therapist come to the house. I did training courses with her. And it just never moved. Plenty of theory, plenty of 'observe her, give her space, manage the situation,' page after page of information. Almost none of it told me what to actually do on a Tuesday night when someone knocked on the door.
What finally turned it around was sending Luna to a dog trainer. Not because he had some secret, but because he was decisive. He showed me exactly what to do, how to practise it myself, and what to switch to if it didn't work. 'Do this now. Too much? Drop back to this. When she can manage that, move on to this.' Suddenly it was a path instead of a pile of advice, and within weeks we were a completely different team.
That is the part that still gets to me. None of it was complicated. It could have been explained that clearly from day one. The therapists weren't wrong, they just weren't decisive, and when you're an overwhelmed owner, decisive is exactly what you need.
DoggoPlan is the thing I wish I'd had at the very start. The same force-free protocols the good trainers use, turned into a clear, step-by-step plan for your specific dog and your real life, for $59 instead of months of expensive trial and error. Not a magic fix. A direction you can actually follow at home, starting today.

The people behind the method
Coaches who designed and oversee the plans
DoggoPlan's method was developed by specialist dog behavior coaches, and one of them writes every plan before it reaches you. These are the coaches behind the force-free protocols your plan is built on.
Cody Miller
Dog trainer, specializing in leash reactivity and city walks
Works with dogs who pull, lunge, or get overwhelmed on busy sidewalks. Cody helped shape the walking steps in DoggoPlan: how much distance to keep and what to do when it goes wrong anyway. He builds the plans for dogs who react on leash, so every walk feels calmer for both ends of the leash.
Elena Rodriguez
Dog behavior consultant, specializing in restless and high-energy dogs
Helps owners of dogs who never seem to switch off: barking, jumping, pacing the house. Elena co-developed the settling and energy-outlet routines in DoggoPlan, and builds the plans for restless dogs, so their energy goes somewhere useful instead of into the couch.
Kenji Takahashi
Dog trainer, specializing in recall and off-leash reliability
Works with dogs who suddenly go deaf the moment they're off leash. Kenji designed the step-by-step recall progression in DoggoPlan, and builds the plans for coming when called, so owners can build real trust before unclipping the leash.
Marcus Washington
Dog trainer, specializing in chase behavior and families with kids
Helps dogs who nip at heels, chase bikes, or try to herd the kids. Marcus built the impulse-control and redirection exercises in DoggoPlan, and builds the plans for families with kids, so the dog's instincts get a healthy job and home stays safe for everyone.
Darius Jackson
Dog trainer, specializing in alone time and adolescent dogs
Guides owners of dogs who can't be left alone, and of teenagers who seem to forget everything they once knew. Darius co-developed the structure and settle-down steps in DoggoPlan, and builds the plans for alone time, so your dog learns step by step that you always come back.
Hannah Kowalski
Dog behavior consultant, specializing in fearful, sensitive, and senior dogs
Works with dogs who startle easily: at fireworks, storms, new places, or a new home. Hannah shaped the calm routines and gentle pacing in DoggoPlan, and builds the plans for fearful and newly adopted dogs, so every exercise stays within their limits and never moves too fast.
Mateo Benitez
Dog trainer, specializing in handling, grooming, and guarding
Helps dogs who growl over food, toys, or their bed, or struggle with being picked up, brushed, or taken to the vet. Mateo designed the trade and cooperative-care steps in DoggoPlan, and builds the plans for dogs who guard things, so your dog learns your hand never takes anything away.
Sarah Jenkins
Dog behavior consultant, specializing in visitors, greetings, and social skills
Works with dogs who lose it when the doorbell rings, play too rough, or don't read other dogs well. Sarah helped build the polite-greeting steps in DoggoPlan, and builds the plans for visitors and encounters, so meetings stay friendly and safe, at home and out on walks.
Real owners, real dogs
What owners tell us after a few weeks
A few notes from owners after following their plan for a few weeks.
Hannah
Loki, 2-year-old mix
Verified
Loki couldn't be alone for ten minutes without howling, the neighbors even complained
The plan built it up minute by minute, exactly around what I'd filled in. Now he stays calm in his bed when I run errands.
Rachel Baker
Stabyhoun, 1 year
Verified
The panting and shaking the moment I picked up my coat, that's gone
He stays in his spot now, keeping an eye on things, but he no longer tips into stress. This morning I was out for an hour and on the camera he was just lying calmly in the chair.
Tyler & Boef
Boef, 8-month-old puppy
Verified
Boef ignored me outside and just bounced around the yard
The exercises are short and playful, which works far better with a pup than being strict. He now comes back nine times out of ten when I call.
Kelly Lambert
rottweiler, 4 years
Verified
Walks were a fight
The second she spotted a dog she went deaf and pulled me halfway across the street. The turning point was that one move where you turn away before it's too late. We're not there yet, but I come home without my shoulder hurting.
Megan V.
Saar, 4-year-old dachshund
Verified
Saar startled at every sound and barked the whole building awake
After a few weeks she's noticeably calmer, though the doorbell is still a thing. For the price I didn't expect this. Only downside: I'd have liked a few more videos.
Yolanda D.
white shepherd, 4 years
Verified
We couldn't fit a stair gate and he'd jump it anyway
I said so and the plan was adjusted to something that fits our house. That they think along instead of pushing a standard exercise on you, that was the difference for me.

Questions, answered
The honest answers, before you start
Will this work for my dog's breed or age?
Yes. Your plan is built from your dog's profile, not a breed checklist. Puppies, seniors, rescues, mixes, we adapt the exercises and the pace to where your dog is right now. Fear is something dogs of any age can unlearn, gently, one rep at a time.
Is this a subscription?
No. It's a single $59 payment for your dog's plan. No subscription, no auto-renewal, no surprise charges. You get lifetime access to your dashboard plus a PDF you can keep.
I've already tried trainers, videos, and gear. Why would this be different?
Because it's decisive. Most advice tells you what's wrong and to "manage it." Your plan tells you exactly what to do today, what to switch to if that's too much, and what comes next, small daily steps drawn from the same force-free protocols good trainers use, shaped around your specific dog.
How much time does it take each day?
Five to ten minutes. The plan is built around the time you told us you have, even if that's just five minutes before breakfast. Short and consistent beats long and occasional, every time.
How fast will I see results?
Many owners notice calmer moments within the first few weeks, with bigger change over a couple of months. There's no magic switch, and anyone promising one isn't being straight with you. A few minutes a day, done consistently, is what adds up.
Is it safe? Is it really force-free?
Completely. No shock collars, no prong collars, no "alpha" or dominance tricks, nothing that scares or hurts your dog. Every exercise is gentle, reward-based, and doable at home. It's training guidance, not veterinary or medical advice, so if your dog seems unwell or in pain, please see your vet.
What if it doesn't work for us?
Then you email us within 60 days and we'll refund every cent, for any reason at all. No form, no proof of progress, no explanation. The only thing you risk is staying stuck.
