Full Length Courses
It can be incredibly isolating having a difficult dog.
We at Like Magic know from our own personal experience, and our experience with many behaviorally challenging dogs, that each dog’s challenges are unique and each of them benefits from a personalized, tailored approach.
So whether you’re struggling with fear, frustration, anxiety, aggression, reactivity, or a combination of it all, we’ve got your back.
We know your dog is a good dog. We know you’re a wonderful owner. And we know how much you love one another.
Our behavioral training is geared to meet your goals, on your timeline, so both you and your dog can experience less stress and more joy.
Ready to get started?
Drama Class - which will be edited and re-launched as Charisma Modifier throughout 2025 - is our ever-lengthening guide to all things reactivity, fear, and aggression.
Throughout the course we prepare you with skills and understanding to be more aware of your dog and their triggers, set the pace of your progress and leave time for decompression, and not only manage around but truly learn to cope with the stressors in your dog’s life (and, by extension, in yours).
These online courses are often included as part of our larger training packages as well, and are available at a discounted rate for our current and past clients.
Drama Class is a self-led online course designed to support you and your dog as you work through their reactivity and anxiety needs and behaviors.
Puppies are complicated.
Bundled up in that adorable face and teensy toe beans, there’s a whole lot of development and growth going on, and opportunities to teach as many bad habits as good ones.
When time moves by too quickly, and there’s limited time to fit in everything you want your new addition to learn at this sensitive stage, what do you do?
Management, foundations, and successful socialization just by moving your mouse!
Online training for puppy raising can be found in the Worldbuilding Online Course. This self-led course builds foundational engagement behaviors that will inform your puppy’s habits well into adolescence, as well as addressing developmental topics like:
Safe Socialization and Dog-Dog Interactions
Puppy Biting and Chewing
Happy Crating and Housetraining
Handling and Preventing Resource Guarding
These online courses are often included as part of our larger training packages as well, and are available at a discounted rate for our current and past clients.
Worldbuilding is a self-led course designed for introducing engagement, confidence, and optimal socialization for puppies between 8 and 20 weeks at the start of the course.
Is your dog an overenthusiastic greeter?
…An expert counter cruiser?
…A master thief and keepaway extraordinaire?
Do you find yourself with the biceps of a body builder from countering leash pulling?
…or the stamina of a cross-country runner from trying to tire out your pup?
Whether you’ve recently adopted your dog and are looking to prevent these problems, or you’ve been coping with these challenges since puppyhood, Starting Zone is the perfect spot to work on life skills to improve your dog’s habits, your communication, and your lives together from here on out.
Better behavior is just a few clicks away!
Online Training for Life Skills is separated into three separate categories, each geared towards particular behavior challenges and solutions:
Coming When Called
Loose Leash Walking
Patios and Polite Hellos (currently unavailable)
Each course introduces engagement and attention skills, provides instruction on building good behaviors, and solutions for troubleshooting the harder moments.
These online courses are often included as part of our larger training packages as well, and are available at a discounted rate for our current and past clients.
The Starting Zone series focuses on foundational manners behaviors centered on a specific goal. For loose leash walking, we will focus on engagement in motion, troubleshooting tough moments during a walk, and how to set your outings up for success!

Webinars and Orientations
In this webinar, we discuss the variety of considerations to take into account when preventing behavior challenges from forming or an undesirable reaction occurring with your dog. We’ll also look at the variety of ways you can approach resolving behavior challenges to be as comprehensive as possible when creating a behavior plan.
In this webinar, we discuss the meaning of enrichment and the many facets of providing enrichment to our dogs in a way that is both sustainable and fun for all parties involved.
