Thanks to the magic of the Internet, we offer our science-based dog training programs to anyone, no matter your location! It’s easy.
Our online dog training programs function very similarly to our more traditional private dog training programs—you'll get one-on-one, customized training sessions with one of our professional trainers. All of the high-quality, thoughtful, scientifically-proven methods and love for your dog that you will find in our private programs, just in digital form. You don’t even need a Skype or Zoom account to join!
We have been offering online dog training since 2014, and have found that doing programs via virtual video chatting has some pretty great advantages!
“Claire was an absolutely wonderful trainer for our 8 yr old adoptee Mae, who had a lot of fearful and anxious behaviors. We did our sessions online, and her powers of observation through the screen were incredible! She picked up on cues we had been missing and helped us work with our pup on training and confidence-building. Now that we have better communication with Mae, we’re all so much happier! She’s like a brand new dog.”
Advantages to Online Dog Training:
Flexible Scheduling
Because there is no commute, we can get super flexible with scheduling! Now, no matter where you live you can take advantage of our positive-reinforcement techniques, tools, and most importantly, results! What used to be available to a select few, is now available to all.
No Geographical Limitations
No matter where you live, we can work with you. You can reap the benefits of professional, experienced, and knowledgeable trainers who have a proven track record of giving dog owners amazing results.
Ability to observe behavioral issues without the distraction of having us there
Now your pup won’t even know we are there! This allows us to see how your dog is naturally behaving. Many times our clients tell us, “He is so good when you're here!” When do dog training sessions online, we get to see how your dog behaves as if nobody new is in the environment.
“My wife and I live in Pittsburgh and through Tully's Training online dog training program, we were able to utilize their services from afar. We worked mainly on our dogs separation anxiety issues. Using the Zoom app for our sessions was great because it avoided the added stress for our dog of an unknown person in our home. Through the online dog training, we were able to easily set up weekly meetings and have a great hands on experience in working with our dog, Charlie. We highly recommend!“

“Tully’s training was fantastic! We worked with Harmony, who was patient and SO knowledgable. Since we live in Brooklyn - and because of coronavirus - we did virtual training and it was amazing! Harmony was so good at explaining with words, with her dog, or even with stuffed animals. Whenever something didn’t quite work, she had five or six other tricks up her sleeve. She was also great at giving constructive criticism when we weren’t doing something right, which made me feel like she trusted me. Everyone with a dog needs Tully’s Training in their lives!”
Frequently Asked Questions about online dog training:
Do Online Dog Training Sessions actually work?
Absolutely! Part of our free consultation is to determine the program that works best for you and your dog so that you see the best results in the shortest amount of time possible. Because we are essentially training the people, not the dog, online sessions allow us to see the problems you are having and work you through them. When necessary we can use our own dogs to show you how to work through troublesome behavior.
Why wouldn’t I use a dog trainer where I live?
You can do that! However, you found us and that’s because we are very good at what we do. We’ve been featured on Nat Geo Wild, Inspire Health Magazine, Autostraddle.com, and San Diego News 6. We've worked with hundreds of different species, at some of the top zoos and aquariums in the world. We have been mentored by some of the best animal trainers the industry has to offer. This isn’t a hobby or side job for us, like many dog trainers. This is our career. This is something we have studied, practiced, and dedicated our lives to.
You can see that in the two cities we work in we have an average Yelp rating of 4.9 stars! The trainers who helped achieve this rating are the same trainers you will be working with. We only use humane, positive reinforcement training techniques that get results. This is an opportunity to work with Los Angeles-based all-star trainers without leaving your home.
What do you use for video conferencing? Do I need an account?
You don’t need an account to video conference with your trainer! Your trainer will set up your meeting in Zoom, an online meeting tool, and will send you a link. Click that link from your computer and you’re in. That’s it.
I am still skeptical about training my dog via online meeting. How do I know this will work?
We understand why you would be skeptical about online dog training. It’s of course very different than the traditional dog owner-dog trainer relationship. While we can never guarantee training will work, (it all depends on your commitment and application of the tools we give you), we can guarantee that you’ll be happy. We have a track record that speaks for itself. If you are still skeptical, give us a chance! Sign-up for our free, no obligation, online consultation to see if we are a right fit for you. We will go over your dog training goals, answer your questions, and prepare a customized program for you and your pup. At the end of the consultation if you are still not impressed, there is no obligation to sign up with us.
“When we started on Zoom I thought it would be just a necessary substitute for in-person training, but it turned out to be a real asset! Through the virtual sessions, I really feel like Trudy helped me understand why we were training Oliver this way, not just how we should do it. And now I have the skills and framework to keep up Oliver's training moving forward!“
