Affiliate disclosure

Dog Behavior Basics may earn commissions from products linked on this site. This page explains that relationship in plain language.

How affiliate links work

Some links on this site are special affiliate links. If you click one and buy a product, the seller or affiliate network may pay this site a commission. The price you pay is not increased because you used our link. Commissions help cover the cost of researching, writing, and maintaining the site.

The course featured in our main review, Brain Training for Dogs, is sold through ClickBank. Links to that course may be ClickBank affiliate links once a live affiliate link is added. Until then, a link position may be marked as a placeholder in the site files and should not be treated as a live sales link.

What a commission does and does not mean

A commission means we have a financial interest in a purchase made through our link. It does not mean the vendor wrote our review, approved our conclusions, or guarantees that a product will work for your dog. We aim to include strengths, weaknesses, and clear limits, including when a local trainer would be a better spend.

Training results vary with the dog, the household, health, environment, and the owner's consistency. No commission changes that, and no review on this site should be read as a promise of a specific result.

Research based, not purchased

We have not purchased Brain Training for Dogs. Our Brain Training for Dogs review is based on public information about the course, creator, curriculum, methods, price, and guarantee. It is not a first hand test, and it does not use invented testimonials or personal outcome claims.

If we buy and test a product in the future, the relevant page should say so clearly and distinguish first hand experience from vendor claims.

Prices and terms can change

Product prices, bonuses, optional add ons, guarantees, and course contents can change after a page is published. Always check the official product and checkout pages for current terms before buying. If a statement on this site conflicts with the seller's current terms, rely on the seller's terms for the transaction.

Questions to ask before buying any course

• Does the method match how I want to treat my dog?
• Will I actually practice in short sessions most days?
• Is the problem mild enough for an online course, or do I need in person help?
• What is the refund window, and do I understand how to use it?
• Am I buying structure and guidance, rather than expecting a guaranteed transformation?
