Training plans · By breed
Every breed gets
its own 12 weeks.
A French Bulldog puppy needs a different program than a 3-year-old Border Collie. Pick your breed below, we'll build a 12-week plan tailored to that breed's energy, drives and common challenges.
French Bulldog
Full guideAffectionate, social, and famously stubborn, Frenchies do best with short, frequent sessions and a clear positive-reinforcement loop.
Read the guideLabrador Retriever
Full guideAmerica's family dog. High-energy, food-driven, eager to please, Labs love structure and need real mental work, not just a walk.
Read the guideGolden Retriever
Full guideFriendly, smart, and biddable, Goldens learn fast but need real exercise and chew/work outlets to avoid mouthy adolescent phases.
Read the guideGerman Shepherd
