ONE OF THE BIGGEST MYTHS IN PUPPYHOOD
"They'll grow out of it"
You've probably been told that things like biting, jumping, accidents, and pulling on the leash will simply disappear with age. But here's the truth: every single behavior your puppy repeats — good or bad — is getting more ingrained. The question isn't whether your puppy is learning. They always are. Every time a behavior goes unaddressed, it becomes a little more familiar to your puppy's brain. A little more automatic. A little harder to change. The question is what they're learning and whether you have the tools to guide them toward better choices.
"My job is for people not to need me anymore"
A new way to raise dogs
A different way to raise dogs.
-
✕ Teach commands✓ Teach life skills ›Commands get your dog to perform on cue. Life skills give your dog the tools to navigate a human world and give you the confidence to guide them through any situation, not just the ones you practiced.
-
✕ Focus on stopping bad behaviors✓ Understand why they happen & prevent them ›Suppressing a behavior without understanding what's driving it doesn't solve anything. The underlying emotion finds another outlet and the problem shows up somewhere else. This course goes to the root.
-
✕ Correct mistakes✓ Teach better alternatives ›Telling your puppy what not to do doesn't teach them what they should do instead. Here we focus on guiding your puppy toward better choices — ones that work for both of you.
-
✕ No clear structure✓ One clear 28-day structure ›Built in a way that respects your learning journey: short, focused, progressive. You never feel lost or overwhelmed. You always know exactly what comes next.
-
✕ A dog that performs✓ A dog that feels safe in the world ›A dog with solid foundations doesn't just behave well when you tell them to. They have the competence to be truly calm, confident and emotionally secure in any situation.

One day at a time. One clear goal.
Start communicating with your puppy
Before teaching anything, you need to understand how your puppy actually learns. Week 1 gives you the mindset shift, the tools and the communication foundation that makes everything else possible.
Fix the things that are driving you crazy
The two biggest puppy struggles: biting and toilet training — tackled head on, with clarity on why they happen and exactly what to do.
Good manners out in the real world
Now that the foundations are in place, it's time to take everything outside: walks, greetings, and real life situations.
Building a well-adjusted dog
The final week is about preparing your puppy for the real world — and deepening the relationship that will carry you both through everything that comes next.
Meet the Team
Erika
Canine Behaviour Consultant & Course Creator
Erika didn't start as an expert. She started as a shy kid whose deepest desire was to be able to talk to animals. Ended up as a 17-year-old with a rescue puppy, zero knowledge and a dog who was slowly dismantling her sanity, and her reputation with the neighbours.
Molly pushed her so far she had no choice but to learn. And once she started, she couldn't stop. 13+ years, hundreds of guardians and two very different dogs later — she built Your Dog's Way so you don't have to figure it out the hard way.
Molly
Chief Inspiration Office
Molly was Erika's very first dog, her greatest challenge and the reason Your Dog's Way exists.
She barked at everything, pulled on every walk, lunged at every dog she saw and stole food with Olympic-level precision. And yet, she is also the most important teacher Erika ever had.
She wasn't difficult. She was just waiting to be understood.
Today, Molly is 17 years old, still opinionated, still occasionally dramatic, and living proof that with the right tools, the relationship you build with your dog can last a lifetime.
Nala
Heart of This Brand
Nala is the face of Your Dog's Way. She came into Erika's life after she'd done the work. And she was Erika's soul dog.
Raised with intention, understanding, and solid foundations, she showed Erika how healing a healthy relationship between a dog and a human can be. How it can actually feel when you have the skills to understand each other so well that you could read into each other's minds.
Nala is not here anymore. But this course exists because of her, because what they had together is what Erika wants for every guardian who lands on this page.

What if I don't have much time?
The course is designed for real life. You’ll learn how to build good habits through everyday interactions, not long formal sessions.
Each daily lesson takes less than 10 minutes to watch. You can practice during your normal walks, mealtimes and everyday routine. The course is designed to fit around your life, not the other way around.
What age should my puppy be?
This course is most beneficial for puppies up to around 6 months old, the critical window when habits and foundations form most easily. That said, older puppies benefit enormously too, especially from the behaviour and socialisation modules. If your puppy is already beyond 6 months, start with the areas you need most and build from there.
I haven't got my puppy yet. Should I start now?
Yes! And honestly, starting before your puppy arrives is ideal. Week 1 will help you set up your home, understand how puppies learn, and walk into day one already knowing what to do. Future-you will be very grateful.
Is this course only for first-time guardians?
Not at all. Many experienced dog owners have said this course completely changed how they see everything. If you've had dogs before but want to do things differently this time, or understand the why behind the behavior, you'll find enormous value here.
What if my puppy is already biting, pulling, or jumping a lot?
Go straight to the relevant day, that's exactly what the course is built for. You don't have to start from Day 1. Find what you need most, start there and come back for the rest when you're ready to build a well-rounded dog at your own pace.
What if I've already tried other methods and nothing worked?
That's one of the most common things I hear, and it's usually because other methods focused on what to do without explaining why behavior happens. Once you understand the why, everything becomes clearer. Start with Week 1 and give it 7 days.
What if the course isn't right for me?
You have 14 days to try it fully. Go through the first two weeks, do the exercises with your puppy. If it doesn't feel right, you can just click a button and I'll refund you completely. No questions asked.
What are Erika's qualifications?
Erika has been working professionally with dogs and their guardians since 2013, when she completed her first certification at the SIUA School of Human-Animal Interactions in Italy. She later went on to certify with the Victoria Stilwell Academy — one of the most respected force-free training institutions in the world — and has continued her education through workshops, specialization courses, and ongoing training with some of the most respected names in positive reinforcement dog behavior.
But beyond the certificates, what qualifies Erika most is 15+ years of real-world experience working with hundreds of guardians across multiple countries — in shelters, private consultations, daycare facilities and online. Every lesson in this course comes from that lived experience, not just theory.
