About Training Fido 101

What they do

Training Fido 101 publishes a signature nine-week "Transform Your Dog" private program run in the client's home, a three-to-four week board-and-train version of the same curriculum, and service dog training delivered in either format. Programs are also split by age, with separate tracks for puppies under five months and dogs over five months, and group classes are listed.

How they work

The site makes an explicit argument against fully bespoke programs: "Many training programs claim to tailor training to the dog, but this varied hyper-customized approach leaves gaps in training with a wide range of results." Its answer is one curriculum aimed at what it calls the common root cause — "impulse control, or should I say, a LACK of impulse control!" Work is organized into four sides: on-leash obedience (no pulling or lunging, usable in vet offices and pet stores), off-leash obedience ("We are industry leaders in using E-Collar training that humanely and efficiently teaches your dog off-leash obedience"), great manners (jumping, chewing, counter surfing, nuisance barking, house and crate training), and overcoming anxiety and aggression, where the site is candid that outcomes vary — some dogs "undergo COMPLETE rehabilitation, while others show improvement but still need careful management."
