Short answer
If your dog ignores you the moment something interesting happens, the fastest fix is not more repetition — it is teaching the dog to think. That is what brain training for dogs is built on: 21 games, arranged in graded modules, that turn obedience into a problem your dog wants to solve.
It was created by Adrienne Farricelli, a CPDT-KA certified trainer, and comes with video demonstrations, a behavior-problem archive, a private forum and a money-back guarantee, for $67 as listed on the vendor’s page on September 27, 2026. See the full program here.
Brain Training for Dogs — what you get
- 21 force-free games in graded modules, with video for each one
- A behavior-problem archive: barking, digging, jumping, chewing, pulling
- Private members forum and a bonus course
- One payment of $67, money-back guarantee
A tired mind beats a tired body
Ten minutes of nose work can settle a dog the way an hour of fetch does not. Chewing, barking at the window, digging, pacing and jumping on guests are almost always a dog with nothing to solve, and physical exercise alone leaves that part untouched.
Games are the shortcut, because they use the drive that is already there. The dog works for the reward, and the obedience arrives as a side effect of the puzzle.
That is exactly the order this program teaches in: mental work first, then the manners you actually wanted.
Who wrote it
Adrienne Farricelli is a CPDT-KA certified professional dog trainer, and the program is her own curriculum put online: step-by-step instructions, photos and video demonstrations for every game, plus troubleshooting sections for when your dog does something the lesson did not expect.
Everything is force-free. No prong collars, no shock, no leash corrections — the games work through rewards and shaping, which is also what certified trainers use in practice.
The 21 games, in graded modules
The games are organized from beginner to advanced, so each one builds on the skill the last one taught:
| Stage | What the dog learns | Where it shows up at home |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner games | Focus, targeting, following a cue in a quiet room | Looks at you when you say his name |
| Intermediate games | Impulse control, patience, working with distractions | Waits at the door instead of bolting |
| Advanced games | Problem-solving, sequences, scent and memory work | Settles on his own instead of pacing |
| Einstein-level games | Multi-step puzzles the dog has to reason through | Confidence in new places and with visitors |
The part people end up using most
Start with the basics of timing and rewards in our indoor games guide, and you will get more out of the first module.
- Behavior-problem archive: tailor-made solutions for barking, digging, jumping, chewing, pulling, whining and the rest, each written as a plan rather than a tip.
- Video demonstrations, so you can see the timing of the reward — the detail that decides whether a game works.
- Troubleshooting sections inside each lesson, for the moment your dog does the unexpected.
- Private members forum to ask about your specific dog.
- A bonus course included with the order, listed at a $67 value on the vendor’s page.
What it costs and how you are covered
The page lists $67 for the full program, down from a stated regular price of $127, with ClickBank as the retailer. Access is online, so you can start the first game the same evening.
It is backed by a money-back guarantee: in the trainer’s own words, if the program is not what she says it is, you email her and get your money back. Ten minutes a day for a couple of weeks is enough to know whether your dog is responding.
