Anyone who works with dogs or owns a dog knows this one thing for CERTAIN: The dog's success depends on the HUMAN'S training and/or skillset.
It's no secret that our recipe for highly trained dogs is highly trained humans.
After every board and train program, the owners of each dog receive 4+ hours of hands-on training from us! We pride ourselves in the amount of time we dedicate to educating the "other" end of the leash. The human component of dog training IS the piece to the puzzle that is so often missing.
This course will take you through an entire go-home session with Theo + Beau, the reactive littermates, and their owners. You'll see the dynamic of their relationship with each person, and how it affects their behavior overall. We show you how we transfer everything to the real world by taking the duo out on an excursion to stores and cafes, all while the owners are handling them 90% of the time.
You CAN do this.
This course includes:
4+ Hour of Video Lessons
Key skills and drills
Recording of workshop & Bonus video resources
Access to weekly Q&A

The Transformation - What You Will Learn
How to communicate with dog owners
How to build confidence in dogs and handlers/owners
How we set owners and their family up for success
Why the "Go Home" session is VITAL to successful training
Course Instruction by
Jeff Gellman
Jeff has rehabbed over 10,000 dogs in the past 20 years. He has conducted over 300 seminars in countries around the world.
Our Go Home Sessions Focus on the Following:
-transferring ALL of the training to the owners
-troubleshooting behaviors/obedience when it doesn't go perfectly
-how we take dogs to stores for public access training
-how we communicate with owners and educate them
-how to build owner confidence-how dogs still try to test handlers,
-and how we leverage obedience to build strong relationship
…Unfortunately SO many dogs AND Dog Owners struggle because they aren't given the right info in a structured "go home" session. Sure, the trainer may be able to do it, but without a solid "go home" session, none of that is transferred to the dog's owner.
If you're on this page, I'm guessing you're curious how we are so successful at training humans as well as dogs!
Unfortunately, many dog training programs out there fail to focus on owner training, and that's why board and trains get a bad reputation.
Have you ever heard any of the following?
"The dogs only behave for the trainers."
"They go right back to their old ways once they get home"
"board and trains only train the dogs, not the owners."
"no dog can be fully trained in only a couple of weeks"
Chances are you have!
But our skillset with PEOPLE is what really sets our program apart. We set dogs and humans up for continued success long after they leave our facility. Our goal as dog trainers is for our clients to NOT need us anymore! Except maybe for boarding when they travel ;)
So, what do you get when you join this program?
With this course, you'll get the entire go home video from start to finish *minus a few edits when our clients talk about personal stuff. We talk to our clients like close friends, so some minimal conversation pieces will likely be cut out to protect our clients' privacy.* You'll see how both Joelle and myself step into our teacher uniforms to clearly and EFFECTIVELY train our clients. You'll see the dynamic each dog has with every person in the home. This course is like being a fly on the wall at one of our sessions. You'll get some golden nuggets of information from this that might even change the way YOU train your dog or interact with your own clientele!
This course is NOT only for dog trainers. If you own a dog, but are struggling with your own skillset or confidence... this course is definitely FOR YOU.
Part psychology, part dog training, part business. All for you.
Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Jeff Gellman, the guy with the hair that works with those insane dogs. I got my start in dog training 20ish years ago when I owned a wildly out of control dog myself. His name was Max, and he was large, powerful and had a lot of bad behaviors. He was making my life a living hell, and it felt like nobody could help me at all. That was until I finally met THE ONE trainer who looked me dead in the eye and said “you can tell your dog “no”, Jeff.”
And that was the day everything changed. I was able to stop all of my dog’s horrific behaviors rather quickly, and actually train him up to be one of the coolest dogs I’ve ever owned. He became my sidekick in mountain climbing, biking, and even my demo dog when I created a dog training business of my own (hello Solid K9 Training.) Max was the first “why” behind everything I do today.
I currently own and operate an exclusive, boutique style dog training center in Bradenton, Florida. I rehab and train dogs from all around the country and even traveled for 5 years holding dog training seminars around the world. When I say I have worked with the worst of the worst behavioral cases, I truly mean it. I own a highly successful virtual dog training company where I can put my passion into video format to help even MORE people who can’t reach me geographically.
I also held dog training seminars around the world. Throughout my career, I have worked with tens of thousands of dogs and humans, and I know firsthand how lack of training can affect the quality of life for both ends of the leash. Between my free social media content, virtual one-on-one work, seminars, and in-person training, I have kept countless dogs in their homes who were on their last chance.
I have always wanted to find a way to help EVEN more families and their dogs. There is such a need for dog training that works, and so I created this course. My Green to Graduate series addresses one of the most common pain points I see people struggling with- lack of training overall! So many folks are struggling to get their dogs to do the basics, so I wanted to create courses that truly covers it all.
This simple and easy-to-follow video series will get you on the path to better walks, better obedience, and a better lifestyle with your pet for the long run. You'll finally be able to live life with your dog exactly as you imagined, and the best part is, you'll be there in 4 weeks or less.

FAQ - Am I in the right place? Can you really help me? etc.
I'm sure you've got questions. Here are the answers to many of the most common questions we get asked.
What if my dog is to stubborn to train?
A: EVERY dog of any breed can be trained. It just takes the proper methodology and leadership
My dog doesn't listen to me
A: Your dog will learn to take direction if you follow the protocols in the video series.
What if my dog isn't food motivated?
A: You do not have to use food for this training. It teaches how to motivate dogs without food, but we do include a "how to build food drive" video for free!
What age does my dog need to be for this?
A: Dogs 16 weeks and older can benefit from this training, In fact, I recommend you start them out with training sooner rather than later.
What if my dog has no prior training?
A: Your dog can be totally "green" with zero leash skills and still make incredible progress with this course. Off-leash freedom IS within reach.
How long will I have access to the course?
A: You'll have lifetime access to the course. Once you purchase it, it's yours! Due to the digital nature of the course there are no refunds.
Will my dog be able to go to crowded places / events with me?
A: Your dog's capabilities lie in the work you put in. Dog training is a never-ending process and should be kept up with/improved upon throughout the life of the dog. The places you are able to take your dog depend entirely on how much effort you wish to put into training.
Do I have to use a prong collar & remote collar?
A: I am a huge advocate for remote collar training as it allows the safest and most reliable form of off leash communication with your dog. If you want to learn how we achieve off leash training, we do recommend both prong and E collars for this course.
What if my dog's breed is not supposed to heel?
A: EVERY dog of any breed can learn to walk nicely on a leash. It just takes the proper training and leadership
How quickly can I see results
A: Watch the videos and practice for an hour. You will see immediate results. Consistency and structure are the key to maintaining those results.

"thank you!"
"I was afraid to go out in public with my dog for years before taking this course. I would always have to put her in another room when guests came over and it was all barking and scratching. I'm crying with joy . I did the work like you said and it worked. Thank you . thank you. thank you"
Sally P
"Just what I needed."
"Just got the Green to Graduate. Going through the videos and I love the breakdowns and CONSTANT reminders. Greatly appreciate all the work/time you and your crew put into making these videos for us, so we and our dogs can finally start to live outside of our bubble. Hugs for you and your wonderful staff!"

I feel like this guy saves lives. I had a crazy black lab who lived in the woods on his own for 18 months. I 'rescued' him and gave him a good life. He pulled me all over. 100lbs strong dog. I took him to TWO obedience schools and no improvement. Jeff taught me how to use a prong collar. Amazing, immediate change. He passed away a few weeks ago, his final years were amazing. I was so proud to walk him. It was safe to go out with him. Thank you Jeff. Without your help he would have pulled me down in traffic, or i would have put him down because he was crazy. He lived another 8 years, but they were good years, with your guidance.

I've had compliments from my neighbors about how much my dog has changed since implementing the skills I follow through Solid K9 Training. The skills you can learn from JUST the video content is amazing. If you just take the content and do basic drills with the crate, thresholds, and basic 180 maneuver, you will see a change in behavior in minutes. I took a nervous, anxious dog, and now he is more confident and listens better with all the structure I've put in place. What Jeff teaches doesn't just help the dog, it helps the owners understand and implement it every day without a trainer by your side. Thank you for all the content!
