Verify Ryan's certification (live record, opens in a new tab)Whether you choose a self-guided membership or direct 1-on-1 coaching, you still have to do the daily practice. Use the learning resources included in your membership; choose personal coaching when you want trainer feedback on your plan. You provide the consistency.
An in-person client’s experience using the app alongside local training, not a review of a standalone online membership.
"TOP Dog has an App we can access to review what we learned in our individual sessions as well as content from the group calls."
Follow structured courses to understand what to do and why. Clear communication replaces guesswork.
Use app training timers and journals to keep a record of your sessions. Meaningful repetition builds reliability.
If you add coaching, submit video for review, ask questions, and adjust your approach based on a trainer's direct guidance.
Choose self-guided access to our platform, or partner with a trainer for an ongoing virtual coaching membership.
A custom plan and regular contact.
Choose this path when you want a plan built around your dog's behaviors, triggers, and goals, with a trainer to help you adjust as you go. You do the practice at home.
Messaging is not an immediate response. See live page for current pricing and terms.
Platform tools and learning.
A starting point if you want structured lessons and tools to support your own practice. Explore courses, and keep a record of your training in one place.
Access varies by membership level. Not all tools are available on free accounts.
Not sure how much guidance you need? See how self-guided learning differs from personal coaching.
No. You can choose the level of learning and personal guidance that fits your needs. Some content and features require Premium, while virtual coaching adds a trainer who helps you apply the training to your own dog, your routines, and the challenges you want to change.
If you enjoy learning independently and putting lessons into practice, explore the self-guided membership options. If you have tried advice but still find yourself wondering what to do next, coaching gives you a custom plan and ongoing feedback. The difference is not just more information: it is help turning that information into useful practice at home.
Compare current app membership options to see what each level includes.
No. The first conversation is the starting point, not the end of your support. Coaching begins with an initial one-hour Zoom consultation so your trainer can understand your dog's behaviors, triggers, your goals, and what everyday life looks like for you.
From there, your trainer builds a custom training plan delivered as a week-by-week roadmap in the app. Your ongoing membership includes two private 30-minute Zoom calls per month, trainer messaging, and four trainer video reviews per month. Your plan is updated as you progress.
That matters because questions often appear when you start practicing, not during the first call. Instead of leaving with a list of tips and trying to figure out the rest alone, you have opportunities to troubleshoot, check your technique, and understand what to work on next. You bring the daily practice; your coach helps you make that practice more purposeful.
Yes. Full Premium content is included with your coaching membership. You get all instructional courses, tools, and community features alongside your personalized trainer support, plus the coaching-only On-Ramp course.
Think of the content as your reference library and your coach as the person helping you put it to work. You can revisit a lesson between calls, practice the skill, then bring your questions or a video back to your trainer. You do not have to rely on remembering everything from a Zoom conversation.
The value is in having both: resources you can return to at your own pace and guidance that relates them to your dog's needs. Premium content is part of the coaching offer, not an additional content package you need to buy separately.
Yes. You have ways to get help while you are putting the plan into practice. Coaching includes direct trainer messaging and four trainer video reviews per month. Video submissions receive AI first-pass feedback followed by trainer feedback on your timing, handling, and what to adjust next.
A video can show details that are difficult to describe in a message: when you give a cue, how your dog responds, or what happens just before they lose focus. That gives your trainer something specific to review, rather than leaving you to guess whether you are doing it right.
Use messaging for questions between calls and video reviews for a closer look at your practice. These are ongoing coaching channels, not a promise of immediate or around-the-clock replies. The goal is to help you identify useful adjustments and approach the next session with more clarity.
Visit the Pawprint Academy coaching page for current pricing, the full offer, and enrollment availability. For self-guided membership options, visit the app membership page. Account setup and enrollment take place in the app.
When you compare options, look at the whole package, not just the length of a Zoom call. Coaching brings together an initial consultation, a custom plan, recurring private calls, messaging, video feedback, and Premium learning resources. You are choosing a way to learn, practice, get feedback, and adjust with professional guidance.
If you want to learn independently, a self-guided option may be the right fit. If you want help deciding what to prioritize and how to adapt when practice gets difficult, explore coaching. Review the current price, inclusions, and enrollment terms so you can make an informed choice about the support you need.
