    You’ve probably already done a lot of “training."

    A group class that turned into chaos. A training philosophy that promised more results with more food, time and patience. A hundred YouTube videos later and… your dog still drags you down the street, charges the front door, or has made your guests afraid of coming to the house. You're giving your dog your all, not even realizing you may be sacrificing your personal life, your family time, your happiness, and even your peace of mind.

    We get it — most of our clients find us exactly this way. They’ve tried everything except what actually works: a clear system, real accountability, and ongoing coaching that evolves with you.

    That’s why we built the Solid K9 Community— the only dog training membership that gives you everything you need to create real, lasting change (for yourself and your dog.)

    WE'RE JEFF AND JOELLE

    FOUNDERS OF SOLID K9 ACADEMY

    If you’re new here — hi, we’re Jeff and Joelle.

    We’ve been training dogs professionally for over 20 years, working hands-on with thousands of dogs and owners around the world. From high-drive working breeds to nervous, anxious dogs. From leash reactivity to full-blown aggression — we’ve seen it all, and we’ve helped it all.

    People send their dogs to us from every corner of the U.S. and even internationally because our methods drive results when everything else has failed.

    We’re not “internet trainers.” We’re real trainers who’ve spent decades in the trenches working with the dogs no one else would touch, helping families find peace again, and showing owners that having a calm, reliable family pet is 100% possible.

    And yet, for all our experience, we know how personal this journey is. We know what it’s like to feel embarrassed by your dog’s behavior… to love them deeply but still feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or even defeated. That’s why we built this Community — to give you the same proven system, structure, and coaching that we use every day with our in-person clients. Because every dog deserves a capable leader. And every owner deserves to feel proud, confident, and in control.

    INTRODUCING: THE COMMUNITY

    Inside, you’re not just watching videos. You’re training alongside us the same way we teach in-person clients who pay thousands to send their dogs to us. This is the most complete, step-by-step dog training ecosystem available online. You’ll learn how to build structure in your dog's life, confidence in yourself, and how to become your dog's leader, which is the foundation for every well-trained dog.

    HERE'S WHAT YOU GET ACCESS TO INSTANTLY: 

    Our most fundamental training courses that cover everything: on and off leash obedience, our complete remote collar training system, and how to overcome even the most intense behavioral problems like leash reactivity and anxiety.

    Green to Graduate

    The most complete "start to finish" course in our library. Learn how to fully train your dog from basic obedience to off leash reliability in the real world with our entire E-collar program 

    Green to Graduate II

    The same concepts as GTG1, but filmed LIVE and unedited. We also address more behavioral issues like barking, jumping, and excitement peeing. We also show more public access work.

    Chaos To Control

    Filmed LIVE and unedited, our exact protocols for stopping leash reactivity for GOOD. No micro-managing needed. Dogs learn to make good choices on their own when this process is followed.

    🟡 Green to Graduate 1 & 2– our full off-leash obedience programs (perfect for new or untrained dogs)

    🟡 Chaos to Control – complete reactivity & leash aggression rehab course

    🟡 LIVE workshop recordings: socialization, public access, resource guarding and more

    🟡 Bad Behavior Course – stop jumping, barking, counter-surfing

    🟡 2x Monthly Live Coaching Calls – get direct feedback and real-time help from Jeff and Joelle

    🟡 Private Member Chat + Community – 24/7 access to trainers and other owners for support and accountability

    🟡 Constantly Updated Library – new videos added every month

    🟡 On-Demand Video Requests – if you need help with something and we don’t have it, we’ll film it for you!! All you need to do is ask

    Everything you need. All in one place. 

    To put it in perspective: A single private session with us costs $499 an hour. Ten sessions = $4,990.

    But inside the Community, you get:
    ✅ An entire year of coaching.
    ✅ Every one of our signature programs.
    ✅ A support network that never leaves you guessing.

    And you get it for as little as $499/year. That’s less than what most people waste on two mediocre training classes that don’t work

    Let's be honest...

    you could wait. You could tell yourself you’ll “start training soon.” But every week you wait, your dog’s habits get stronger. Do you really want to be in the same place six months from now — still frustrated, still walking at 5 a.m. to avoid people, still searching for the next “fix”? Or do you want to look back and say, “That’s when everything changed.”

    Join the Community today and start your transformation now.

    Start Learning

    IMAGINE JUST A FEW WEEKS FROM NOW...

    Your walks are calm. Your dog listens the first time, every time. You invite people over without stress. You actually enjoy having your dog around. That’s not a dream — that’s what happens when you stop dabbling in advice and start following a system that works. Your dog doesn’t need to attend another group class or 5 more 1:1 lessons. You just need to start training with intention... with guidance, feedback, and a community behind you.

    We’ve made it simple to get started.

    Monthly: $97/month
    Quarterly: $199/quarter
    Annual (Best Deal): $499/year

    The annual plan gives you everything for an entire year — including live coaching, all courses, and full community access. It’s the no-brainer choice for owners who are serious about results.

    OK, I'M IN!!!

    We want Your Satisfaction, not your money.

    If for any reason you join and decide this program is NOT for you, let us know within 30 days, and we'll give you your money back. 

    *TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY. This is a recurring yearly/monthly/quarterly membership that will auto-renew. You can cancel at any time, no contracts or cancellation fees.

    WHAT OUR MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY:

    DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT, OUR COMMUNITY IS FULL OF DOG OWNERS JUST LIKE YOU!

    Some more settle work with Artie 😌 This command has been one of the easiest, most beneficial commands i’ve ever taught. It’s helped control her hyperactivity in all environments & i couldn’t be happier -Hailey

    Just a quick thank you to @Jeff Gellman and @Joelle Gifford for the great advice. In just the first three weeks of fast track Lokis excitement reactivity has greatly decreased (like gone!) 

    Thank you!! - Donna

    We changed our plans at the last minute to go out for a family dinner and everyone ended up at my house so there were 10 people in the house, coming and going the whole time, I had my front door open, which I've never been able to do because of how the dogs would bark excessively at anything or anyone who walked by. During dinner, they laid on the rug and never once got up, which is huge for them. I'm so proud of how far they've come and my family even commented on how good they were. -Leslie

    FAQ :

    Q: How do you know this works? That it isn't just you?

    A: We wouldn’t call something proven just because it worked for us. These strategies, training and courses have all been put to the test by other dog trainers and dog owners, and they worked. We’ve helped every breed, every age, every personality — from nervous and fearful to strong-willed working dogs. The system is about leadership, structure, and clarity. It works across the board.

    Q: I’ve tried other programs before and nothing worked.

    A: That’s exactly why this Community exists. Most training fails because owners are left guessing once the videos/sessions end. Here, you get direct feedback and ongoing coaching.

    Q: What if I can't make the calls?

    A: Calls are recorded and archived so you can re-watch them whenever you want. BUT, the majority of communication happens in the chat anyway. Ask questions daily and get feedback within hours. 

    Q: Can I cancel whenever?

    A: Yes, you can cancel monthly or quarterly plans anytime. (Annual plans are prepaid for the full year.) 

    Q: My dog is OUT of control. What if he/she isn't right for this?

    A: We have trained dogs of every caliber and we don't say that lightly. No dog is too extreme, or too difficult for our trainings. Virtual work (that's done right) is just as effective, if not more impactful) than hands on coaching with a dog trainer. 

    Q: what if my dog has zero training?

    A: perfect. let us show you where to start and how to achieve a fully trained dog. We're here for you every step of the way.

    You’ve tried doing it alone. You’ve seen what that gets you.

    Now it’s time to train with clarity, community, and results that actually last.

    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!

    "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

    "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"

    "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!"
