Are you trying to get your puppy to stop biting? Maybe you have a dog who just won\u2019t stop barking.\u00a0 Or perhaps you adopted a new furry friend and you\u2019re trying to figure out how to train a dog from the very beginning! You may be questioning whether or not to get a dog training, take classes or try to do it all yourself.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to give you my honest opinion in this Brain Training For Dogs <\/a>review, the dog training course developed by Adrienne Farricelli. I\u2019ll tell you all about the program, how it works, whether or not its effective and what you get for the price. \u00a0Let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re going to look at a training program for your pooch, you should first look at who created it to make sure they are legit. And I have to say, Adrienne Farricelli is pretty legit!<\/p>\n Adrienne Farricelli is a CPDT-KA dual certified dog trainer<\/a> who has had her work featured in USA Today and Every Dog magazine. \u00a0Adrienne believes in a force-free training approach, using scientifically based training methods focused on rewarding through positive reinforcement. \u00a0She has helped thousands of struggling dog owners all over the world and runs a successful cage-less board and train company. \u00a0In addition, she has provided training for service dogs for military veterans.<\/p>\n With over a decade of experience, Adrienne has developed a training course called Brain Training For Dogs <\/a>to help dog owners deal with problem behavior from their furry friends!<\/p>\n Brain Training For Dogs<\/a> is an online dog training program that uses a series of fun games to help develop your dog\u2019s intelligence. \u00a0What does that mean? Basically, you\u2019re training your dog through force-free activities designed to engage their mind.<\/p>\n The course is laid out in a specific sequence that allows you to build on each game\/skill.\u00a0 There are five modules overall that help you progress your dog\u2019s skill and Adrienne provides you with tips and tricks in each module.<\/p>\n Check out some of the things you can train your dog to do using this program:<\/p>\n Brain Training For Dogs<\/a> is marketed towards any and all dog owners. \u00a0As Adrienne says, all dogs will behave better when they are mentally stimulated and, regardless of your dog\u2019s current training level, you can find things in the course that will work for you.<\/p>\n Below is a list of just a few of the things Adrienne covers in Brain Training For Dogs<\/a>:<\/p>\n When you see what\u2019s included in this program, it\u2019s easy to understand that any dog at any age could benefit from the lessons Adrienne teaches. \u00a0Whether it\u2019s obedience training, eliminating troublesome behavior or being able to teach your dog some pretty crazy tricks, the content is extensive.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve looked at a lot of training courses for dogs and the majority of them are pretty basic. \u00a0They deal with the basic commands (sit, down, stay) and few of them have actually helped with solving my dog\u2019s problem behavior. \u00a0In my experience, this goes back to the person who created the course \u2013 do they actually have the experience and knowledge?<\/p>\n In Brain Training for Dogs<\/a>, Adrienne takes a scientific approach to working with each dog. She talks about the concept of neuroplasticity<\/a> and how our brain (and our dog\u2019s brain) is capable of molding and changing to learn new habits and behaviors. \u00a0This is the basis of her entire program. \u00a0The foundation of her program relies on mentally stimulated your pooch so he or she has the capacity to take commands easier and know what you\u2019re asking for!<\/p>\n In the Brain Training for Dogs<\/a> online course, the content is separated into 7 modules, each of them getting progressively more challenging for your pup. \u00a0Let\u2019s take a look at what you learn in each module.<\/p>\n In this module, Adrienne takes you through the foundation of teaching your dog to become super obedient.\u00a0 She teaches you how to get and keep their attention, have them focus on you and maintain eye contact and how to target train (\u201ctargeting\u201d to get your dog to open doors, ring bells or turn off lights).<\/p>\n This module is a must complete to get the basics down. \u00a0You don\u2019t want to skip this one or you may have issues getting the results you want in the other modules.<\/p>\n Once you complete module 1 and your dog has the basic foundational skills, you\u2019re ready to move onto Module 2.\u00a0 In this module, Adrienne helps you understand how to improve your dog\u2019s skills and use his senses to complete your commands.\u00a0 She uses things like the treasure hunt game<\/em> and the muffin game<\/em> to keep your dog mentally stimulated and out of trouble.\u00a0 She also encourages you to use things like the ball pit game<\/em> to give your dog lots of exercise and make them calmer when you want to work with them.<\/p>\n One of the nice things about this module is Adrienne provides some alternatives if you don\u2019t have some of the items on hand that you\u2019ll need for the games (although I don\u2019t know if it would be as fun for your dog!)<\/p>\n Ah high school, you either loved it or hated it! In this module, I have a suspicion your pup will love it.\u00a0 Adrienne covers patience and impulse control in Module 3 helping you train your dog to settle quickly after getting hyped up with activity.\u00a0 She shows you a bobbing for treats<\/em> game to teach you how to get your dog comfortable in water.\u00a0 I found this game in particular worked really well (my dog\u2019s a bit of a wimp when it comes to jumping in the water!)<\/p>\n A lot of the games in this module really work with your dog\u2019s scent receptors and engages your dog\u2019s mind and body.\u00a0 The exercises in the module were definitely ones that my dog loved \u2013 it seemed like she had a purpose!<\/p>\n Now your pooch is getting to the big leagues! In the College module, your dog develops their motor skills and ability to concentrate on your commands.\u00a0 You play games like the shell game<\/em> (to develop mental agility), the open sesame game<\/em> (to develop patience and calmness), and the magic carpet game<\/em> (to develop patience and dexterity).<\/p>\n A lot of these games continue with more scent work and really do encourage your dog to be patience and calm, regardless of what is happening around them.\u00a0 I particularly liked the Open Sesame game<\/em> because my lab used to FREAK out when someone opened the door. \u00a0Now, she stays calm (although still wags her tail wildly) regardless of who walks in the door!<\/p>\n In this module, your dog is going to take their patience and intelligence to the next level.\u00a0 The primary focus in this module is impulse control.\u00a0 One of my favorite games was the look at that game<\/em> to help dogs stop barking at other dogs or people from the window. Another one (that I wish I would have known with my previous pooch) is the hide and seek game<\/em> where you can work with your dog to get comfortable with being alone.<\/p>\n This is where things get fancy! Your dog is going to be the talk of the town after learning advanced leg-walking skills<\/em> (yes, that\u2019s right \u2013 your dog will go in between your legs while you\u2019re walking!) and the name recognition game<\/em> where your dog will learn to pick up toys by their name! Think of the possibilities with this one \u2013 finally, your dog can clean up their own toys!\u00a0 This module really focuses on those advanced level motor skills and intelligence.\u00a0 Not to mention, you\u2019ll have some cool party tricks you can show your friends!<\/p>\n This is the genius status we all want our dogs to have! In module 7, your dog is going to learn the best of the best game.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be able to teach your dog the ring stackers game<\/em> to develop skill and patience.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also be able to teach your dog to play the piano!\u00a0 The piano!!!<\/p>\n While the last two modules of this program are not necessary for having a well-behaved dog, they do provide your dog with ways to stay mentally stimulated and to have a purpose. \u00a0Dogs with a purpose are happier, healthier and more obedient!<\/p>\n Adrienne doesn\u2019t stop there with providing you with content.\u00a0 There\u2019s even more once you get into the member\u2019s area.\u00a0 When you buy the program, you also get:<\/p>\n You can teach your dog how to take a bow, cover his eyes, dance, shake hands, howl, play dead, and roll over.<\/p>\n Remember when I said this course is for any dog at any level? If you\u2019re starting from scratch, this bonus is for you. \u00a0This bonus covers topics like using a food lure to train your dog, how to get your dog to listen to basic obedience commands, and how to get your dog to \u2018drop it\u2019. \u00a0This was a big winner for me \u2013 you never know what your dog might pick up in its mouth and how dangerous it could be!<\/p>\n In this bonus, you learn about hand signals, verbal cues and how to fade out food lures and continuous rewards without losing your dog\u2019s obedience!<\/p>\n In the content archive, you get over 100 articles covering almost every behavior problem you can think of, an entire section dedicated to puppy training (house training, crate training, bite inhibition, etc) and case studies!<\/p>\n Okay, now we\u2019re getting to my favorite part \u2013 the price.\u00a0 This is that moment where you ask \u201chow much is this gonna put me out?\u201d.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 Well, hold on to your seats ladies and gents because you may be surprised at the answer.<\/p>\n When I first started reading through all the content included in Brain Training for Dogs<\/a>, I was pretty sure it was going to run me at least a few hundred dollars, if not more. \u00a0I mean, think about it \u2013 if you go to a professional dog trainer, you\u2019re going to pay between $75-$300 PER HOUR! \u00a0So I just anticipated this program would be more on the expensive side.<\/p>\n Boy, was I wrong! You get everything included for the price of $47<\/strong>!! Literally a one-time payment of $47 for lifetime access! And, when you sign up, you get yet another bonus \u2013 a free guidebook that helps with the most common dog behavior issues.<\/p>\n And, if that wasn\u2019t enough, she also has a 60-day money back guarantee so you can actually try it risk free.<\/p>\n Adrienne had me convinced at $47. \u00a0The value you get for that price is crazy good! I have read so many books on dog training and looked at so many other courses and none of them were as valuable as what Brain Training For Dogs<\/a> provides.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t already taken the next step to take advantage of this program, do it now! I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has a dog with problem behaviors or just wants to provide their dog with extra stimulation and purpose. \u00a0There\u2019s a huge wealth of knowledge included, which makes this a no-brainer!<\/p>\nWho is Adrienne Farricelli?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
