You are seeing this video ad-free and a day early. Thanks for being a Patreon member!
Y’all! I’ve been working on this behind the scenes for a while, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you! I’ve taken all my service dog training videos and brought them together into one organized, easy-to-reference guide. No more scrolling or guessing what to train next—this resource is designed to make things clearer, more structured, and easily accessible as you work through your training journey.
My mission with DOGGY•U has always been to make service dog training accessible—free or super low-cost—and this guide is a huge step toward that. Thank you so much for supporting this work and helping make resources like this possible. <3
--------
Are you training your own service dog and feeling overwhelmed by what to teach and where to start? Whether you're just getting started or you're deep into public access training, this comprehensive service dog training guide is for you!
This is the exact framework I use with my own dogs and clients—from foundational obedience and body awareness to task training and public access skillsets.
✅ What you’ll find in the guide:
Core service dog tasks and behaviors
Clickable links to free videos, Patreon resources, and full courses
Tips for customizing your training plan to your individual dog
Step-by-step breakdowns of critical skills like heel, place, recall, stays, eye contact, and more!
This is your go-to training roadmap whether you're working with a young puppy or an older dog in training. Designed for owner-trainers, it’s flexible, realistic, and constantly updated with new videos and insights.
🛑 Remember: You don’t have to train everything at once. Start small, go at your dog’s pace, and focus on building a joyful, trusting partnership. This is a marathon—not a sprint.
📌 Be sure to like and share this video so other owner-trainers can find this free guide!

2025-07-31 17:46:34 +0000 UTCHi Lau - I don't intend on making a separate resource for that because the behaviors I teach are the ones on the list I just put out. But if you're looking to see an example, check out the bottom of the guide - I added the link to the collection of Denver's training on YouTube and to the collection here on Patreon.

2025-07-31 17:46:19 +0000 UTCWauw, that's amazing 😍 Thank you so much! Have you thought about doing something similar with your puppy stuff? The puppy pdf is so helpful, but I would love some more guidance on which behaviours to train in what order and what the prerequisites are to the first walk, visit or public outing 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and smile with us! Doggy U is my favorite dog training content on YouTube and I've recommended you to so many♥️

2025-07-31 04:04:47 +0000 UTCExactly what I need. You have SO MANY videos that I love but I tend to jump around, trying to figure out what to do next. Thank you doesn't say enough. By the way, no wonder you're getting burnt out, I can't keep up with just viewing all your videos let alone making them YOU ARE AWESOME!

2025-07-31 03:41:52 +0000 UTC“Train the dog in front of you.” If only all trainers, parents, teachers and coaches applied this philosophy! Thank you for helping us build the toolset to do that. And, now we have a map to help us plan for our own circumstances. Yay!!!
