Overview
The content of The Online Dog Trainer program is much more comprehensive than many other sites I have seen i.e. more videos and in-depth coverage of topics, and the actual training information in each video includes every detail of the subject.It's the most encompassing dog training product I've reviewed.
Endorsements
The Online Dog Trainer has been endorsed by the national SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) of New Zealand. In fact, the home page of New Zealand SPCA is even linked to this site, promoting it to new dog owners and those who have adopted a new puppy.
That speaks volume for Doggy Dan.

Almost every topic covered in the 250+ videos
The Online Dog Trainer has a huge amount of contents compared to many other similar sites. You might think that’s the way it ought to be considering the price they’re charging.
No argument on that, but we’re not just talking just about volume here. It’s the quality of the content which is just as thorough.
The website has been around since 2009 and I did find a few of the videos which are not of high quality. But these are regularly replaced with HD videos. This is because The Online Dog Trainer is an active site and new footage is being regularly included.
But the quality of the training contents is excellent, and I believe that’s what you’re looking for.

Videos of real consultations
Doggy Dan’s live consultations videos are enjoyable to watch. It makes learning fun. Compared to many other sites, Doggy Dan included much actual footage of serious behavioral problems and how to deal with them instead of just showing command work and theory.
That’s what makes The Online Dog Trainer is different. Furthermore, many of the dogs filmed were not easy to manage and are in serious need of help.

Why use videos?
This question has been raised so many times. Perhaps the following may help.
Seeing an experienced dog trainer explaining why a dog is so stressed and then watching the dog change is something that cannot be easily explained in words or writing.
It’s difficult to relate that in an e-book.
And because these videos have not been excessively edited, you get to actually see the transition of how the consultation unfolds i.e. how the results were achieved step-by-step.
This includes all the body language of both the dog and the trainer, something that you cannot easily understand from mere reading.

Doggy Dan’s method and techniques
As you know, there are various dog training methods out there.
Some dog training websites use either the aggressive techniques that control the dogs into behaving, or they focus too much on treats and rewards.
Doggy Dan’s method is calmer and more gentle but very effective. It is based on the concept of how to become the “pack leader” and sets up your training so it doesn't require the dog to fear you nor give them a lot of treats in order to comply.

Puppy training video
This one is as good as it gets.
There is a video Doggy Dan has done about raising an 8 week old puppy named Moses. This is really a remarkable project by SPCA Border Collie X Labrador, where you will see puppies growing into quite an amazing dog.
Moses is older now and new videos of his development are being added from time to time. You will get to learn and see all the command training, and solving of every puppy problem inside.
Full marks for this section.

The Online Dog Trainer forum
Doggy Dan is still answers all the questions personally. From the answers, it is obvious that Dan is committed to giving the dog owners and their dogs the best advice and experience.
Audio recording
Audio files are included and placed in strategic places of the training program and nicely complement the videos.
It’s refreshing to listen to a 45 minute audio about how to become the pack leader, having watched the videos. These audios are optional though, since the real lessons are delivered in punchy and clear videos.
But they are valuable for those people who really want to get the most out of the course.

Testimonials
You can’t help but be suspicious of testimonials. They can be altered, edited, or even created to make the product look good. The absence of a time stamp will also make it likely that most of them were created too many “moons” ago.
I wouldn’t want to say anything about the testimonials of other dog training products it would be unfair to them.
But The Online Dog Trainer differs. End users had, apparently, posted many comments and testimonials through Facebook. These testimonials are often new and looked like they were written by people who enjoy the site.
They seemed to have been posted by regular users who are currently taking The Online Dog training program and the testimonials seemed to speak for themselves.

About Doggy Dan
Doggy Dan certainly shows his charisma in the videos. You can see his energy and obvious love of dogs and this really makes a difference.
Watching a trainer bonding with the dogs and getting their respond immediately in return is a testimony to his gentle and effective approach.
While many dog trainers use treats-and-fear based techniques to get the dogs to respond, Doggy Dan concentrates first, on understanding the dogs and winning their trust.

How the video training works
Doggy Dan advocates puppy and dog owners to resolve the root cause of dog problems instead of symptoms. By resolving the root issues, further problems can be resolved.
You will be guided to do this in a section called “Become the pack leader” by using what is called “5 Golden Rules”. Once you have mastered this, you are encouraged to visit the section and watch the appropriate training relating to your dog’s particular issue.
Video explanations of why the problem exists and then why the particular training will solve the problem will give you a real understanding and control over your situation!
Here's a list of some of just some of the videos that address specific dog problems:

The $1 Trial
The Online Dog Trainer program includes 250 videos, audios and notes can be accessed currently for a $1 trial that last for 3 days.
How much it costs
Once you've decided to stay on after the 3 day trial, it will be $37 per month to continue your access.
You may think it’s a bit pricey, at $37 a month. But when you’re a dog lover and considering the solution to your many dog problems it can resolve, what you’re getting is a real deal.
Other programs may give you for less but may also leave you feeling more lost and confused.
It also may be true that these dog training products are good at helping you train some commands but how many of them will get the core problem behaviors resolved because they are only treating the symptoms.
The Online Dog Trainer, on the other hand, helps you to really understand your dog and solves virtually any dog behavioral problems.
Furthermore, if you look even more closely, most of these training programs have an additional cost if you want more than just the basics, usually pushing the cost to over the $100 mark.
My little research showed that a GOOD dog trainer with a house visit will cost in the region of $400 for a few hours visit.
That is equivalent to 11 months of being with Doggy Dan. And with The Online Dog Trainer, you get Doggy Dan and his proven method in your home 24/7!!
