The first course I bought from them was…
The first course I bought from them was the reactivity course in 2021. it really helped my springer spaniel. I have gotten at least one course a year since then. I have the one on house manors, the one on recall, the tricks course, and some others. I often go back and watch videos when I want to teach my Luna a new trick. I had an issue with signing in a while back and Andrea from the support Email figured it out for me the same day. I highly recommend these courses and trainers. And I hope to sign up for another course soon!
If you’re gonna cancel, make sure you cancel on the actual renewal date or they’ll take all access away early
I used the spirit, dog training app and paid for a yearly membership and also bought additional courses. I received an email that my auto renew was coming up in August and I sent an email saying that I would not be renewing and to make sure that the auto renew is canceled. Keep in mind I still have a few more weeks of access to this app which I paid for instead they completely cancelled it I should’ve had access up until my renewal date. Update to their response they did not send any further email besides, your membership is cancelled.
Just stop, I sent 3 follow up emails. There’s nothing in my spam- I’m not an idiot. There was no further communication and I don’t want further communication. You shouldn’t have cancelled it outright you know you’re in the wrong. Leave me alone. And quit lying saying that you’ve rectified this. Check the other forums this is a habit that you seem to do. Do not contact me. And I will justify this review over and over and you’re making it worse by lying about it.

Reactive Dog Lifesaver!
We did the 6-week intensive training program for our reactive dog, Lady. Our trainer, Victoria, is fantastic. There were daily check ins and once a week video calls. We learned so much! I recommend Spirit Dog and, in particular, this program for folks like me who really didn't know quite where to begin. Victoria helped us focus on daily tasks and was there to cheer the victories and motivate us through the setbacks.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed working directly with Victoria and found the Mentorship Program helpful :)
We hope to work with you more!

We got a new puppy
We got a new puppy, it had been 15 years since I had done any puppy training. I started this puppy training program as soon as I got him & he is the most trained well behaved dog I have ever had! Training right from the beginning is so much easier then correcting a problem later. I would recommend this to others

Great Program
Very satisfied with this program. The steps are clear and easy to follow. I saw progress with my dog Oliver within the first week of starting the training, which is unlike what I had tried in the past. The trainers are quick to answer any questions I have, highly recommend!

When they say lifetime access they mean it
I bought access to their lessons in 2020. They helped me raise the best dog I’ve ever had.
Well, six years later I wanted to review them for my new puppy… oh no! They updated their site and I lost access to my lessons. After a quick email exchange with Andrea, not only is my access restored, but a bunch of new videos have been added basically all the new videos they’ve made on the same subjects.
I think (I’m not totally sure because it’s been a while) they even threw in a free video on how to integrate my puppy with my older dog.
10/10 lessons and 10/10 customer service.

We're glad to hear this :) Thank you for your kind words, and happy training!
Today is January 6, 2026, and I have tried 10 times to start my Day 8 training and it wont let me in. This is very frustrating. Each time it says, Not available until 7;32 PM on January 6, 2026. It's now 8;23 on January 6, 2026 and still no luck getting to week 8. There is no place to ask for help. Where is customer service or a leader of the website?

You can always reach out in the comment box under each lesson to us - our trainers and tech support are online every day answering questions.
Wishing you a lot of fun training!

Reactive dogs
I highly recommend this program for reactive dogs. My dog and I started it almost four months ago, and the progress has been amazing.
Before, my dog was scared of everything during walks: bikes, scooters, children, runners, other dogs, and even buses. Every outing was a real challenge to avoid any reactive episodes.
Now, he handles the situations that used to be difficult for him much better. My biggest concern was encountering other dogs — every morning I hoped we wouldn’t run into any so the walk would stay calm. Today, I can simply walk with him and adjust the distance to help him improve.
We started with a distance of 6 meters for large dogs and 3 meters for small dogs. After three months, we were able to reduce it to 4 meters for large dogs and less than one meter for small dogs.
I also started interval running with him, and it has really boosted his progress: he manages his emotions better and trusts me much more during encounters.
A big thank you for this healthy method, as it truly respects our dogs.

can't recommend it enough
my dog Tim is incredible in busy places and at home
the recall training did wonders for him and he comes to me every single time
I did most SpiritDog courses now and I can't recommend them enough
the step by step videos make dog training really easy and fun

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, it means a lot! Happy training :)
I had never experienced this gentle approach to behavior conditioning for our reactive dog. While we still have road to travel, we have found the techniques here to be helpful in allowing our dog a mostly stress-free day. Great content.

Enriching Lives
Steffi has changed the way I navigate challenges with my dogs, 150% for the better. She’s encouraging and understanding yet not judgemental and answers questions with a genuine desire to help create positive relationships with our furry family members. I value her knowledge and suggestions tremendously.

There are SO many trainings available online and live. I recommend you to be really mindful of what you choose. This is a really good one. She really understands dogs, and that’s what counts. Not any weird temporary methods that can only bring short term results.

Spirit Dog Training for the win!!
I recently acquired the Reactivity course from Spirit Dog Training and had good results with very positive methods.
The courses provide sufficient information for a new or experienced dog owner and is useful for both in tackling the training necessities for people who like to implement their own training and boundaries with their animals.
When purchasing the course the in-sale suggestions provided information on the year-long full access plan via the Academy which I added on to my purchase.
In both set ups, stand alone course or academy, the feedback provided by the trainers (Victoria in my case) is very comprehensive and useful, as well as being delivered very fast.
I've been using the services for the last couple of months and today I've experienced technical problems in the normal flow of a course, and the customer support provided by Andrea was fast and attentive.
I'm leaving this review due to her suggestion, since I felt very well taken care of and wanted to leave a positive review on her care and on the company overall.
I'm quite happy with the choice to purchase both the stand alone course and the year long subscription and I truly recommend it.
Well done everyone @ Spirit Dog Training!

I bought last year the reactivity course and it worked really well with our dog Luna, we recently also purchased the house manners course and the course is super helpful and well structured. I recommend thsese for everyone who wants to train their dog in an effective way.
Spirit Dog Training really saved me with my puppy! 🐶 The lessons were simple and fun, and I saw changes so quickly. My pup listens so much better now, it made those first months so much easier.
