Last updated in November, 2025.
A friend (who already knows quite a bit!) asked me where to learn more about dog training without spending a truckload of money they don’t have, and I started putting this list together. It’s not complete (there are so many great resources out there!), and the order is semi-alphabetical: I try alphabetizing it, but I occasionally forget what letter comes when. I have not read every single post, listened to every single podcast episode or seen every single video on the Youtube channels below. If a resource is mentioned in this post, it is because it has caught my attention and I have found some of its content thought-provoking. I’m not familiar with every single piece of information the trainers linked to below have put out into the world. Even if I agree with some of their content, I don’t usually agree with all of it because I’m human, and different humans see things differently! There are many resources in this list that include opinions and approaches I disagree with or wouldn’t use myself, but still found useful and informative. This list is not restricted to any particular training philosophy. Go have fun!
