The training is clear, fun and not difficult. However, my labrador/retriever cross is so food driven (obsessed!) That it wasn't right for him. He was too focused on the food, even if it was boring.... See more

It works!

Not just fun, kind dog training, it’s a whole lot of knowledge that helps you to understand your dog and why they do what they do. I’ve followed Tom Mitchell for a few years and I love the ‘geeky’ lessons he is so passionate about.
I use the concepts not only for my own dog, but also for the dogs I walk for my clients, it helps me to build a lovely relationship with them super quick.
Beware, once you get into it you get totally hooked!

Most effective, joyful training ever

Veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Tom Mitchell provides the best possible package of services I could have imagined. Simple games that transform behavior, "geeky" lessons explaining the theory behind each game, how-to videos, weekly livestreams based on the expressed needs of the participants, a highly engaged online community -- added to his positive presence and great sense of humor. His approach has made it possible for me to generate great change for my highly reactive little canine love.

This is the “must go to” online …

This is the “must go to” online dogtraining group according to me. Clear explanation of how dog brains works and how you can help your dog to make the right choices. Every week new content, lives on interesting topics and a podcast. The hub Facebook group is like family, helpful, kind and supportive. They help you with all your dog related questions.

Tom Mitchell

Tom Mitchell, vet behavorist, must have been a dog in a past life. He truly understands the inner minds of dogs while having the ability to translate their complex feelings and thoughts into words we mere humans can understand. Truly unique ability.
Worth every penny. IF your dog is struggling, this is where you need to be. He'll make you both feel much better all while having fun playing simple games.

Helpmydog is amazing

I have followed Tom's teaching for a number of years and have had the privilege of being taught by him in person with my naughty Dalmatian.
I love the science based teaching along with the fun games to play with my dog.
I am also really loving the transformation process with his little miniature dachshund and seeing the amazing progress she is making.

Friendly and supportive environment.

Friendly and supportive environment.
Even the most complex concepts are simplified by Tom Mitchell so that everyone can understand and get benefit.
Real life training (warts and all) demonstrated using different breeds and sizes of dogs, all delivered with enthusiasm and knowledge by Tom.
There is no pressure, judgement or hard sell, just friendly support and I have gained so much knowledge over the years following Tom's teaching.

LOVE Helpmydoghub

Helpmydog hub is one of the training programs I can always get something out of. It is easy to follow and when you miss things it is always recorded for later viewing. My 4 dogs all benefit from the training.

I've been a member of the hub since it opened.
Even on the very first day there were more content than I expected.
Tom has an amazing talent for teaching and making learning fun.
The layers of learning are genius so neither you or your dog become overwhelmed.

The help my dog FB community is also a very special safe place.

Do I recommend 💯

Dog behavior science made accessible and easy to implement

I have learned from Dr Tom for several years now and done group consults for my own dogs. He has a great ability to make science approachable and actionable. My dogs have benefited a lot from his methods. My dog reactive Doberman can now completely ignore the neighbors Chihuahua barking frantically at her in the back yard. My very high drive Belgian/Mallinois /Doberman cross is much calmer and easy to live with. We are now working on handling and vet visits and reactivity to small animals. Tom’s teachings are way ahead from other behavior and expert advice out there and it is all solidly evidence based and, most importantly, kind to the dog. I understand my dogs and why they do the things they do and feel empowered to advocate for them in any situation.

I’ve made more progress in 2 months on the HMD hub than I did in 2 years

Tom Mitchell is an insightful, passionate dog behaviourist and vet with a huge amount of truly valuable experience. His has developed ground-breaking tools (fun games!) that are proven to change the behaviour of even the most difficult of ingrained dog behaviours.

He breaks problems down into simple steps with easy-to-implement and fun solutions. And his energy, passion and enthusiasm are infectious! He makes the whole experience fun and lifts us all up to believe in ourselves and our dogs. I’m constantly learning from his videos and watching him re-skill his own badly bitten and frightened dachshund is inspirational.

Barking, lunging, aggressive, reactive and scared dogs (and their owners) immediately learn games and strategies that will change the way their dog behaves. He explains exactly how to do things, why the strategy works and gives you a tonne of workable options.

A few key games and strategies have made a huge difference here - all using my dog’s food and some high value treats. It’s amazing!

I’ve made more progress in two months following Tom’s strategies on the helpmydog hub than I did in two years of reward-based training.

Two months ago I had to watch my dog eat a whole dead pigeon (he kept playing keep-away). I was frustrated and beaten.

Recently I called him when he had a bird wing in his mouth and he just dropped in and ran over. True story. I was gobsmacked! And hugely relieved.

And the wins didn’t stop there. It’s literally changing my dog and we’re getting close to my dog-owning dream. I know with Tom’s help that we’ll get there - and sooner than expected.
