I am starting to see a big improvement in my dog's behaviour and confidence since starting the course. The technical support team have been very helpful and patient.

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

I have completed the 10day plan with my two dogs.
It was so much fun.
One of my dogs was getting over a long illness and didn't want to engage in any training or games at all until we started very short easy sessions of the day 1 game
She stayed engaged and completed 9 out of the 10 days.
One game didn't suit her but that's ok. She made huge progress.
Both my dogs are more engaged and responsive.
It's a program I'm sure we will repeat over and over when we need a top up or just want some fun.

Helps my dog and I lead our best lives

Really fun positive training, with enlightening foundations explaining the dogs brain how it reacts in different situations, why we get the resulting behaviours, and easy kind fun ways to adapt behaviours to fit our lifestyles. I am totally addicted! My dog and I have such fun.

The best approach for guardians and trainers

All my dogs are more comfortable in their skin and living with their people since I started studying with Tom several years ago, as are hundreds of dogs whose guardians I have taught. But my 2 year old Havana Silk Dog, who has been trained this way from the moment he came home at 9 weeks, is the most confident, communicative, and responsive dog I have ever had. Under Dr Tom’s tutelage I have learned that dog training is about far more than obedience. It’s about concept development and the dog learning to make good choices because those choices turn out to be the best deal for him. And it all happens through games!

Amazing Vet Behaviourist dog trainer

Dr Tom Mitchell is an amazing dog (and person!) trainer. He is both a qualified vet AND a qualified animal behaviourist, and he's a brilliant teacher as well.
His method of teaching is always positive for both dog and human. I love that he teaches "why" our dogs behave the way they do, and then suggests easy training "games" that can help improve and change the behaviour.
Love that he is now running his own company on his own terms, and we get 100% Tom without other distractions. The Hub is very friendly and Tom and his wife Madeleine are both very accessible, interacting daily in the group which is very refreshing.
If you want to learn, and understand your dog better, this is the best value dog training money can buy.

Brilliant!

I have been following Tom for year to help transform my dogs’ behaviour struggles. I am loving the Help my Dog Hub, and for me it is delivering information in a way that I can really absorb and despite all that I know already, I am getting lightbulbs of new insights all the time. Seeing him work through Gorse’s reactivity is really helpful. Since starting the hub 4 months ago I feel that my knowledge of how to train and understand MY dogs has been taken to another level. Oh and it’s a supportive community, for me there is a manageable amount of content added each week and there is no additional selling.

Absolutely love this learning

Absolutely love this learning. Tom doesn’t just help you teach your dog new tricks. He helps you to understand their emotions, why they might behave in certain ways and how you can work together to overcome their struggles in life. I learn something new and valuable every video I watch and I have six dogs! 🙏♥️

Fun reward based training that works

From the science of how a dog’s brain functions, to games based training and strategies Dr Tom Mitchell encourages you to overcome your dogs struggles with reactivity. The training is reward based and fun. There’s also plenty of support from other members.

Empower yourself to realize your dog-owning dream

No dog is lost! Get practical (and fun) strategies that are force free, fear free, and backed by science to transform your dog. Tom's teaching will help you identify the root cause, not just putting bandaids on the symptoms, and take you step by step to the life you dreamed of with your dog. You will also smile and laugh along the way!

The Help my Dog hub is fantastic

The Help my Dog hub is fantastic, the best place to get ideas to basically help your dog! My dog is an ex-street dog with a lot of problems and the ideas I have been shown I have implemented and I have seen massive improvements. The proof is in the pudding!!!!

This online space is proving to be the best thing I’ve spent money on for my dog. We’ve had several one-to-one trainers who weren’t so helpful but the information here and the value it gives is amazing. Also the fun!
And my dog is steadily getting less explosive 😊
Thank you Hubbers!

The best online resource you'll find

If you're looking for dog raising, behavior, and training information this is the place to go. Not only does Tom teach what to do and how to do it, but he shares why it is effective. As someone who's always looking to be sure I'm doing the best for my dog, I've found Tom's teachings the most helpful, informative, and real-life tested out there.

Wonderful, kind, science backed training!

Tom gives wonderful, kind, sound science backed training for my dog. He has already dramatically improved our walks and disengagement from other dogs and people, I can now enjoy going out with my dog walking as a team instead of being the nut holding the leash.

Help! our dogs....

The Help! My Dog Hub is a wonderful, informative, supportive, affirming place to be if you have a less-than-perfect dog. I have been engaging in games-based training since two rescue dogs came to live with me about 18 months now and can't imagine doing anything else. But even more than the games, I love learning about the neuroscience and the incredibly accessible explanations as to why our dogs do the things they do. An added bonus is that I have learned alot about myself - dog behaviour is, perhaps, not so different from human behaviour - we just have to learn to understand our dogs and then we can help them better :-)

For anyone who wants to help their dog/s live a better life and, as a consequence, live a better life yourself, there is no better place to be than the Help! My Dog hub.
