## What BetterDog is

BetterDog comes to the home. The kitchen, the front door, the walk that falls apart. Not a training studio. The Life Changer Session is $500 CAD tax-in, one fee per household, every dog in the house, about three hours. Sessions are audio only — never video. The Study Guide is built the same day and lands in the BetterDog app, with the named exercise library (No-Hands Rule, Threshold Calm, Loose-Leash J-Shape, Hey! Pattern Interrupt). Unlimited Training Pass is $1,200/year or $125/month. Pack Walks are $60 or included with the Unlimited Pass.

No shock collars. No treats as a crutch. LIMA. Emotional Marking. CAPDT members. Consent-based.

## Who it is for

Puppies, reactive and aggressive dogs, leash pulling, jumping, door manners, barking, anxiety, multi-dog households, and families preparing a dog for a baby (Baby Ready).

If a page includes ?dog=Name, that name is the household dog — not a client testimonial, not the owner's identity. BetterDog is the in-home solution for that dog in Ottawa–Gatineau.

## What BetterDog is not

Not a boarding kennel. Not a group class. Not a shock-collar program. Not a food-bribe program. Not ScoopDog.ca (that's the poop-scooping sister site). Mimi is the mascot (Pointer mix, maroon collar), not a Blue Tick Coonhound.
