If you are considering learning more about remote collars, ask yourself:

Do you struggle to confidently speak about the advantages of remote collar training or worry that your clients may not use the tool correctly?
Would you like to improve the effectiveness of your lesson plans so your clients can achieve success more easily?
Have you wanted to learn about remote collar applications, but haven’t found a mentor whose philosophy about dogs and training aligns with your own?
Are you worried that using a remote collar will diminish the dog’s spirit or the mere mention of the tool will cause potential clients to seek services elsewhere?
Are you interested in enhancing your instructing skills and building a tribe of highly devoted clients?

If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions, the Ecademy program is what you are looking for!

What is the Ecademy?

The Ecademy program had humble beginnings in 2002 when a few professional trainers asked Robin to teach them what she knew about using a remote collar. Through years of refinement, it grew into an immersive, hands-on learning experience that breaks down integration of remote training collars into a pet training program into three skills necessary for success:

Explaining, Training, and Coaching

Mastering the ability to articulate concepts, work skillfully with the dog, AND transfer that knowledge and skill to your client is what separates the average, from the exceptional.

If you’re looking to be exceptional, the Ecademy program is the right choice for you!

The flagship Ecademy program is an in-person, 40-hour, hands-on experience taught over five days. It is the perfect choice if you learn best through immediate hands-on feedback and the inspiration that evolves in a group dynamic.

Beginning in 2024, a virtual option has been added. The virtual course covers much of the same material, but there are differences due to the constraints of not being in person. The virtual option combines pre-recorded lectures and videos with 7 weeks of weekly coaching calls.

BOTH courses are taught by Robin. Both involve lectures, Robin demonstrating techniques, plus your participation in working with dogs. Virtual participants provide videos of their work and receive feedback on areas of improvement and steps for advancement.

FAQs

What does the Ecademy cost?

The in-person course is $2295.00 (40 hours of coaching). Virtual is $1095.00 (14 hours coaching)

Snack and lunches are provided during the 5-day course. Lodging is not included.

Do I need a dog to train through the program?

Yes, for both the in-person and virtual programs you are expected to do hands-on work with dogs. The training can be done with a personal dog(s) or a client dog(s), but the dog should not have any prior ecollar experience.

What if I miss one of the virtual coaching sessions?

You are encouraged play full on by attending each of the live sessions. However, we understand that life happens. Live calls will be recorded and you will be provided access to the replays.

Is there opportunity to continue studying with Robin after the course is over?

Yes, there are several options available for continued mentorship for both dog training and business coaching.

The fees seem expensive compared to other dog trainer seminars I’ve attended. Is it worth it?

The Ecademy course differs from most workshops in a few ways:

Group size is kept intentionally small to allow for significant one-to-one attention.
Significant hands-on time is spent practicing so you and the dog you attend with will get lots of successful repetition!
In addition to enhancing your training techniques, you will discover multiple ways to improve your coaching. Improving your instructing style = clients who are more successful and motivated to follow through.
You’ll return home with easily implemented ideas for training, teaching, and business that all add to your bottom line!

The Ecademy course redefines what it is to elevate a pet owners success and satisfaction through remote collar training. When your clients do better, your business does better!
