What Makes Avidog Unique?

Puppies are our passion. We truly care about you, your puppy and your lives together. In our dreams, all puppies are bred and reared to be healthy and stable, placed in compatible homes where they will thrive, and then raised to be happy, pleasant companions.

To pursue this dream, we combine science, art and over 50 years of dog breeding experience to create, develop and present puppy rearing courses, programs and equipment for puppy owners and dog breeders.

Because, after all, dreams can come true!

Why Learn With Us?

Avidog uses technology to bring online puppy and breeder courses to dog lovers around the world.

In an Avidog class, you will watch videos by our world-class dog trainers and breeders, read our easy-to-understand eBooks, learn at your (and your dog’s) own pace, and discuss questions with our trainers.

We know that you are busy, so our courses are designed with sound teaching and dog training principles to ensure you and your dog acquire new concepts quickly and effectively.
