Self-Led Learning
Learn at your pace. Build skills that last.
Self-Led Learning is home to courses, webinars, and training plans designed to support you and your dog without live coaching or ongoing oversight.
These offerings are structured, thoughtful, and intentionally paced — ideal for guardians who enjoy learning independently, want clear guidance they can return to again and again, and are comfortable implementing plans on their own.
You’ll find everything from short, focused training plans for specific challenges to deeper educational courses that explore skills, enrichment, and emotional wellbeing from the ground up.
This space will continue to grow as new Inspiration Training Plans, recorded courses, and self-guided workshops are released.

The Starting Zone Self-Led Course
Starting Zone is a self-guided learning program that helps you assess your dog’s current challenges, adjust daily routines, and build foundational skills for calmer, more predictable behavior. Designed to create clarity and momentum before moving into more targeted training.
Three modules, one rock-solid start. The Trifecta bundles Reset Ritual, Chaos & Calm, and Practical Magic to give you the core skills every dog-and-human team needs. Build engagement, confidence, calm, and everyday manners with clear steps, bite-sized lessons, and real-world results. Perfect for new dogs, busy families, or anyone ready to level up the basics—beautifully.
Inspiration Training Plans
Inspiration Training Plans are focused, self-led PDF guides built around real-world behavior challenges. Each plan walks you through evaluating the problem, setting up your environment for success, and following a three-week training progression with clear daily practices, troubleshooting tips, and a built-in training log. Designed to create momentum without overwhelm.
Loose Leash Walking - Without the Power Struggle $29.99
This plan is for you if:
Your dog pulls, zig-zags, or struggles to stay connected on walks
Walks feel stressful, frustrating, or exhausting rather than enjoyable
Your dog can walk politely sometimes, but consistency falls apart outside
You want a clear, realistic way to improve walks without turning them into constant training sessions
You’re open to managing the environment while skills are being built
This plan focuses on practical walking skills, better communication through the leash, and setting your dog up to succeed in the real world — not perfect heelwork.
This plan is not a good fit if:
Your dog is lunging, barking, or growling at people or dogs at close distances
Walks regularly feel unsafe for you, your dog, or others
You are looking for off-leash reliability or competition-style heeling
Your dog has significant fear, panic, or aggression on leash
If any of these are true, this plan can still help support better walks — but it won’t be enough on its own. You’ll likely need individualized coaching or a program like Boss Battles: Loose Leash, Real Life or private support.
