GoodPup puts a real trainer on video with your dog every week for around $30 — live coaching and accountability that a written plan cannot match. ThresholdDog is a $99-149 one-time written plan with no live coaching. If you want someone watching your actual dog on video every week, GoodPup beats us, and we will say so. If a fixed one-time cost matters more than live coaching, a plan is the better buy.
around $30 a week, ongoing
Live human coaching and accountability. If you want someone watching your actual dog on video every week, this beats a written plan, plainly.
A fixed budget. It is a subscription and the total adds up quickly compared with a one-time plan.
You want a one-time cost rather than an ongoing subscription, and what you're missing is the decisions — which protocol, what distance, what to do the week it stalls — rather than a person checking in on you weekly.
Neither of us is the right tool for these
None of this applies if there is a bite history, self-injury, or anything that looks medical — those belong with a veterinary behaviourist or an in-person professional, not any app, course, or written plan. We refund and refer those cases rather than sell into them.
Common questions
The free read routes the cases that need a vet or a behaviourist straight to the directories, with the questions to ask when you get there. It costs nothing and it will sometimes tell you not to buy from us.
