Marc Goldberg, the co-author of "Let Dogs Be Dogs" and "The Art of Training Your Dog" is located in Chicago, IL. But not everyone that visits our site or learns about Marc is local. That is why we are thrilled to be able to offer comprehensive online dog training courses. 

Each one of these courses contains many of the exact same learning opportunities as you would have in person with Marc at the Little Dog Farm. We can work together using an online video service, like Zoom, and utilize the same techniques and strategies that we would do together in person if you were local.

Remember, dog training has to be completed by the owner. Whether in person or 10,000 miles away, it is the owner that trains the dog - not Marc, and not any other dog trainer you may work with. What we do as dog trainers is provide guidance, information, support, and assessment. That is something we can easily do over the phone, using tools like Zoom to try to identify what you and your dog need to work on and help you with the dog training process.

Our online dog training courses cover any and all of the same topics that we cover with our in person training:

  • Dog Aggression
  • Puppy Training
  • Dog Anxiety Training
  • Leash Training, and More

We also provide you with breed specific training tips, to help you better understand your dog and the approach(es) that are most effective for your dog breed. That is because every dog should be trained for its specific dog behaviors, and we show you what that means and help you find games, tricks, and more that tape into these instincts.

Our Philosophy & Goals

Our philosophy is simple. Improve the life of both dog and family. All too often, unruly dogs do not fully enjoy life because their families constantly become upset and frustrated with them. This is difficult for both family and dog.
 
Our mission is simple. Make both dog and family happy.
 
What does is take to make your dog happy? He will thrive when you give him leadership and attention.


 
Making the family happy is a bit more complex.

Families typically want their dog to:

  • Come when called, every time, on or off leash
  • Walk nicely on a loose leash without pulling
  • Sit until released
  • Down until released

Families also want their dogs:

  • Not to jump on people
  • Not to charge through doors
  • Not to dig in the garden
  • Not to bark and chew  inappropriately
  • Not to climb on furniture you prefer they avoid
  • Not to sniff and eat off the table and counters.
  • Not to be wild and uncontrollable
  • Not to ignore you when you want their attention
