You are seeing this video ad-free and a day early. Thanks for being a Patreon member!

Y’all! I’ve been working on this behind the scenes for a while, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you! I’ve taken all my service dog training videos and brought them together into one organized, easy-to-reference guide. No more scrolling or guessing what to train next—this resource is designed to make things clearer, more structured, and easily accessible as you work through your training journey.

My mission with DOGGY•U has always been to make service dog training accessible—free or super low-cost—and this guide is a huge step toward that. Thank you so much for supporting this work and helping make resources like this possible. <3

--------

Are you training your own service dog and feeling overwhelmed by what to teach and where to start? Whether you're just getting started or you're deep into public access training, this comprehensive service dog training guide is for you!

This is the exact framework I use with my own dogs and clients—from foundational obedience and body awareness to task training and public access skillsets.

✅ What you’ll find in the guide: 

  • Core service dog tasks and behaviors

  • Clickable links to free videos, Patreon resources, and full courses

  • Tips for customizing your training plan to your individual dog

  • Step-by-step breakdowns of critical skills like heel, place, recall, stays, eye contact, and more!


This is your go-to training roadmap whether you're working with a young puppy or an older dog in training. Designed for owner-trainers, it’s flexible, realistic, and constantly updated with new videos and insights.

🛑 Remember: You don’t have to train everything at once. Start small, go at your dog’s pace, and focus on building a joyful, trusting partnership. This is a marathon—not a sprint.

Excellent! This is what I was concerned we might miss. Thank you for being pro-active and anticipating user needs.

Maureen Watt

I hope you will continue to update the program as you continue to work with your lovely new pup.

Jasmine

I could cry. I appreciate this resource so much. You are such a blessing Laura 🙌 💓

Rennea Rojo-Martinez Donovan

This is so exciting! Im considering washing my current pup so as I gear up to potentially start from scratch, this will be invaluable to me.

Kate Farrell

“Train the dog in front of you.” If only all trainers, parents, teachers and coaches applied this philosophy! Thank you for helping us build the toolset to do that. And, now we have a map to help us plan for our own circumstances. Yay!!!

Wendy

Exactly what I need. You have SO MANY videos that I love but I tend to jump around, trying to figure out what to do next. Thank you doesn't say enough. By the way, no wonder you're getting burnt out, I can't keep up with just viewing all your videos let alone making them YOU ARE AWESOME!

Sam

Thank you so much!!

Lau&Rav

Wauw, that's amazing 😍 Thank you so much! Have you thought about doing something similar with your puppy stuff? The puppy pdf is so helpful, but I would love some more guidance on which behaviours to train in what order and what the prerequisites are to the first walk, visit or public outing 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and smile with us! Doggy U is my favorite dog training content on YouTube and I've recommended you to so many♥️

DOGGY•U

Hi Lau - I don't intend on making a separate resource for that because the behaviors I teach are the ones on the list I just put out. But if you're looking to see an example, check out the bottom of the guide - I added the link to the collection of Denver's training on YouTube and to the collection here on Patreon.

Thank you for your generosity, this guide is awesome!!

Debra Wilbourne

I've been looking forward to this since I heard you talk about it a while ago. Thank you so much! This is such an amazing resource, I'm incredibly grateful for the work you have put in here.

DOGGY•U

Thank you Debra! I already added a few more things today! Some of the content is super old but still relevant!

Nisa J

Incredible!!!!! Thank you ankh this must have been a ton of work to create. I'm glad you are managing your energy levels and taking more time as you need!

Kara Mischke

You are such a blessing! This could not have come at a better time.

Vicente Torros

I was unable to access the actual trainings? Help please?

DOGGY•U

Hi Vincente! I just checked and the links are working correctly on my end. Did you click on the guide link below and then click on the individual Fs and Ps below the chart?
