Online Dog & Puppy Training Courses

The Calm Canines Academy membership is designed for dog owners and dog trainers alike. Inside, we break down our methods and processes for a wide range of commands and behaviors, ranging all the way from basic obedience, to loose leash walking, to basic and advanced methods of recall (and so much more). You'll also learn how we socialize dogs in our boarding and daycare programs, follow along in our popular group classes Calm Canines 1 and 2, and have access to handouts and supplemental resources we give out during our workshops and classes.

Not only will you have immediate access to hours of instruction, but we also continuously add dog & puppy training courses to the membership! On top of all of this, Jeff goes live in our adjoining Facebook group once per month to answer any questions you have! (Once you join you'll receive an email with a link to the private group.)

Join us on the inside and become a part of the Calm Canines Academy Online  training community!

Common Questions

  • What Do I Get?

    1)  An ever-growing list of courses including basic obedience, loose leash walking, e-collar recall, socialization and dog body language, and our popular group class Calm Canines 1.



    2) These online dog training courses are made up of roughly 100 videos explaining all sorts of processes when it comes to training your dog or puppy. For instance there is an entire series of teaching the Leave It command inside the membership! You can use "Leave It" for anything from food that was dropped on the floor to people walking down the road! Whatever you want your dog to leave alone, you can just say "Leave It"!



    3) An ever-growing video library covering a wide variety of dog and puppy training topics. We have lots of courses in the works for the weeks ahead! With new courses being added to the membership, there will always be something new to learn!



    4) Access to Jeff Scarpino once per month through Facebook Live to get your questions answered. For instance, if you're working through the Loose Leash Walking Course and your dog isn't quite getting the hang of it, Jeff can give you some pointers based on your unique situation.

    “Zander and I just finished our first course through Off The Beaten Trail: Canine Facility and absolutely LOVED it! I have learned so much about dog behavior and feel so much closer to Zander now that I can read his body language and know what state of mind he is in. We still have a long way to go but we’ve got the tools now!

    I would HIGHLY recommend these guys to anyone looking for a trainer, daycare, or boarding. Thank you so much Jeff Scarpino I’m positive this isn’t the last you’ve seen of me and Zander”

    “We cannot say enough about OTBT. Jeff & Gillian turned our 7 month old English Yellow Lab, Mac, from an overly energetic, jumping, barking dog into an obedient, calm, focused, and totally manageable, delightful pet. Their loving care and amazing training was beyond our expectations. Not only do they train the dogs, but they also train the owners so they can continue the techniques at home. Mac had “board and train” for three weeks during which we visited and received our training. It has been an extraordinary experience and we highly recommend O.T.B.T.”
