How it Works
How does the puppy training community work? The puppy training community is free to join.

How can I let adopters know about the community and free month of upgraded full community access? Adoption coordinators can let adopters know they have access to a month of free professional training support when they pick up their puppy/dog. If you want flyers and/or jpegs for emails contact Joanna at joanna@biscuittraining.com
Can I join the community? That would be great! The community is free to join and we'd love to have you.
Can the monthly subscription be cancelled? Yes! Subscribers can cancel their subscription at anytime. They simply have to login to the community and cancel prior to the first day of the month following the end of their then-current subscription period.

Subscriptions will continue until a subscriber cancels. Once a subscriber cancels their membership will be downgraded to the free membership.

What makes your training program different from others in the market? Traditional puppy training programs are expensive and don’t address all of the questions pet parents have. Biscuit gives pet parents affordable access to trainers, veterinarians, animal behaviorists, canine nutritionists and other pet professionals. This comprehensive approach to puppy training allows pet parents to access all the experts and information they need under one roof. We are also the first online puppy training program that gives pet parents the ability to meet up offline. Community members can use the member directory to search for pet parents in their area and set up puppy playdates via direct messaging!
Who are your experts? Trainer office hours are hosted by certified trainers. Live expert sessions are hosted by veterinarians, canine nutritionists, animal behaviorists and canine fitness experts. Presenter bios are posted in the description of the live expert sessions
Who Can Join?
Who is the community for? The community is free and available for anyone to join. The majority of the services and content in the community is geared towards pet parents that have puppies or adolescent dogs. However, pet parents with older dogs may still benefit from: -Enrichment activity forum -Playdate finder -On demand courses -Live expert sessions -Vet Q&A
Is the community for dogs with serious behavioral issues? Yes and no. Pet parents with dogs that have established behavioral issues like aggression, known bite history, separation anxiety etc. are best supported by specialists in a private and in-person setting. With that said, those pet parents can still join the community and benefit from: -Community support -Enrichment activities -Live expert sessions -On demand courses -Vet Q&A
