Their offerings include curriculum for puppy training, basic manners, and behavior topics; marketing and newsletter services; and group and 1-on-1 business coaching. They are endorsed by leading dog training professionals and emphasize force-free, science-based methods. Dog Tec helps trainers thrive so they can better serve dogs and their owners.

Dog Tec offers free resources including a business startup checklist and a guide to running a thriving training business. They also provide on-demand courses, toolkits for homework and behavior modification, and a membership program called THRIVE! for ongoing community support. Their mission is to create a better world for dogs by ensuring trainers have sustainable, successful businesses.

Dog Tec serves dog trainers globally, not dog owners directly. Dog owners benefit indirectly by finding well-supported, professionally trained trainers who use positive reinforcement methods.

Dog Tec does not provide direct dog training services to pet owners.
