The canine adventure

The Canine Adventure is an online dog training program designed for adult and adolescent dogs. It focuses on tackling everyday nuisance behaviours like barking, pulling, or jumping, while also deepening your bond through play, enrichment, and reflection. Think of it as a step-by-step adventure that brings more calm, connection, and joy into your daily life with your dog.

This program is designed for guardians of adult dogs, rescue dogs, and adolescents who are past the puppy stage but still need guidance. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I wish my dog would stop barking so much,” or “I wish I knew if my dog is truly happy,” this membership is made for you. Together, we’ll turn everyday struggles into opportunities for calm, confidence, and connection.

Every month, you’ll receive:

• Two Lessons with clear, step-by-step training on skills and behaviors.

• One Play & Adventure Activity to spark fun and enrichment.

• One Live Office Hour where you can bring your questions and get support.

• One Guardian Project to help you reflect on your journey and grow alongside your dog.

You’ll get instant access to new material each month, and you can revisit lessons whenever you need for as long as you have the membership.

We start with the common struggles that make daily life stressful:

• Barking (attention, watchdog, or nuisance)

• Jumping up on people

• Leash pulling

• Counter-surfing and food stealing

• Over-arousal and excitability

In The Canine Adventure, you’ll learn to understand what your dog’s behaviour is communicating, why it’s happening, and how to meet their needs in ways that create natural, lasting change—so the behaviours you don’t like simply don’t need to continue.

You’ll also find Guides on:

• Building resilience and confidence in new situations

• Helping dogs feel safe and cooperative at the vet or groomer

• Adding play and enrichment that keeps daily life fun and fulfilling

Our approach is rooted in the most up-to-date canine science and a holistic understanding of dogs as whole beings. We don’t just look at what your dog does — we look at why. That means considering their learning history, environment, genetics, and individuality. Because when you truly understand your dog and meet their needs, nuisance behaviours transform into opportunities for connection, communication, and trust.

Training doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Lessons are designed to fit into real life, with 2–10 minute practice sessions you can slot into your day. Think of it as layering small habits over time, rather than adding more stress to your schedule.

Nope! You’ll just need the basics you likely already have: a leash, some tasty treats, a comfy mat or bed, and maybe a long line if you’d like to practice recall. Enrichment toys like food puzzles or Kongs are helpful, but not required.

Yes! While new lessons are released each month, you can revisit them anytime. You’re never behind; this is your dog’s adventure, at your pace.

Yes! Each month includes one live office hour where you can ask quick, course-based questions, get troubleshooting tips, and receive guidance tailored to the lessons you’re working on. You’ll also have access to recorded lessons so you can revisit them anytime.

If you’d like more in-depth, personalized coaching for your unique dog, you can always upgrade to a 1:1 membership option for direct support.

I use only positive reinforcement and science-based methods. That means no punishment, no harsh corrections, and no fear-based tools. Instead, we focus on rewarding what you do want, managing the environment, and giving your dog clear communication they can succeed with.

Every dog is unique, but the tools in this program are designed to be flexible and adaptable. Many guardians are surprised at how quickly small shifts — like management strategies or reinforcing calm — can change the whole tone of their home. Think of this as building a toolkit: you’ll learn multiple ways to approach a problem so you can find what fits your dog best.

This program is designed for nuisance and everyday behaviours, not complex cases. If your dog is struggling with aggression, severe fear, or separation anxiety, you’ll want to work one-on-one with a certified trainer or behaviour consultant — please ask Justus for a referral.

The Canine Adventure can still support your general training, enrichment, and connection skills alongside that specialized help.

Currently our Self-Guided Membership is $97 / month. Our 1:1 Coaching, which includes everything in the Self-Guided Membership is $475 / month. Membership includes new monthly lessons, live support, and access to your training library as long as you’re enrolled.

Because of the digital nature of this program, all sales are final and there are no refunds once you sign up. You’re always welcome to cancel your ongoing membership at any time to stop future billing.

Please ask questions ahead of time or request a quick tour of the program before enrolling so you can be confident it’s the right fit for you and your dog.

No — once you join, your price is locked in for the duration of your membership. Even if the program price increases in the future, you’ll continue paying the same rate you signed up with, as long as your membership remains active.
