How cool is this? Dog trick training for anyone

Ever see those dogs who jump, bark, spin and do all kinds of crazy stuff on command?

Here's why trick training is beneficial to both dog and handler!

Maybe your own dog offers some of these behaviors when they are frustrated. You probably shrug it off, or laugh it off, or don’t know what to think of it LOL. But what if we told you, you could capture a lot of these behaviors and put them on cue as tricks??

When it comes to dog training, it’s really “all tricks” except trick training is not necessarily for the “real world”. There’s a time and place for your dog barking on cue or bouncing off the walls (literally) but that doesn’t mean it should be happening at the supply store.

You CAN do this.

This course includes:

55 minutes of recorded training

Live Q and A

Bonus "Teaching and Proofing "Down" command

Access to weekly Q&A

For those who say "my dog could never sit at a cafe: Change is possible!

Trick Training: Fun and Practical

Trick training isn’t all silly work either. We’ve used tricks to put tasks on service dogs, such as opening automatic doors and flicking light switches. Trick training does have its place in every training foundation, as it can lead to more advanced work later on down the road.

Trick training also is a great way for you, the handler, to improve your skill set through shaping, luring and targeting behaviors. You’ll improve your timing and learn how to set training goals.

And most importantly? It’s FUN to do! (Get ready for some laughs in this course because Cowboy Gus and Wes both have their fair share of SASS)

The tricks you’ll learn in this course can be built upon and applied to competition and showing, or just for having a good time with your dog. Totally up to you!

Spins, back up, paw, touch, rollover, bow, speak and “hit it” (rebounding off a wall) are just a few of the tricks we will work on in this course.

You and your dog will be able to work at your own pace. Whether your dog already knows basic tricks, or none at all, this course is for you. We overcome some common challenges like frustration, distraction and lack of impulse control.

This course is appropriate for dogs of all ages and all levels of training, but please consider your dogs genetic dispositions and their physical ability to perform some of the more advanced tricks.

Each trick will be broken down into steps with it’s own video. Simply scroll through the course to decide which trick you’d like to work on. We do have them listed from least to most challenging, but feel free to start wherever you’d like!

For this course, all you need is a treat pouch, your dogs food/treats, a clicker or a consistent marker system (can be your voice, just be sure to use the same marker for every trick)

You’ll have access to the courses for life, so no worries about completing them within a certain time frame!

Have fun and submit your videos to us if you wish! We LOVE seeing your progress.

Here's something most trainers won't tell you: Obedience training will not eliminate unwanted behaviors preventing you from accessing public places like the cafe. In fact, obedience training and behavior modification training are two separate aspects of training that are both needed to have a happy existence with your dog.

And let's face it. Tricks are just plain fun and impressive.

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.

"Our skills grew fast..."

"You are amazing! I got your training program and I can now walk my dog who has high prey drive around squirrels and rabbits without getting my arm pulled out of its socket! She just walks by them. We need more trainers like you!" -Cindy and Roscoe

Cindy and Roscoe

"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!
