Kikopup / Dogmantics Academy

Why it is listed

Dogmantics is Kikopup’s official course shop: $65 puppy training and other one-time videos, with Progressive Reinforcement stated up front. It is not a live class and the PDP we scored does not print a refund window. A course is not a diagnosis. We are not veterinarians.

Pros & cons

Pros

• academy.dogmantics.com 2026-09-02 is a live course catalog: Complete Guide to Puppy Training $65; Leash Walking CONNECTED $85; Relationship Basics $15; Flawless Communication $30; Weekly Manners $55; Weekly Inspirations $75. Puppy PDP: 17 chapters, 45 lessons; first 3 days (house freedom, house training, initial separation); first 6 weeks (problem behaviors, mindful socialization, essentials); first 3 months (adding criteria); PDF handout. Enroll now. Emily Larlham, Dogmantics in San Diego, Kikopup YouTube named on the academy home.
• Method is stated before checkout: Progressive Reinforcement Training manifesto; free tutorials that don’t involve physical or psychological intimidation. Puppy course covers mouthing, chewing, house training, separation, overexcitement, resource-guarding prevention for toys and chews, recall, leash exercises, settle, leave it, drop it — as curriculum topics, not as outcome guarantees.
• No membership required. One-time course prices. Self-paced Thinkific access.

Cons

• Pre-recorded. No live coach, class size, iOS+Android, or vaccine rule on the academy/puppy PDPs — those checklist points are zero. We do not invent a CPDT; the bio names APDT/Clicker Expo speaking and a shelter apprenticeship, which is not a letter we will fabricate.
• No money-back window printed on the puppy PDP or academy home we captured — value refund points are zero. Copyright line still showed 2025 on the academy footer the day we fetched it; prices above are from the live catalog.
• YouTube Kikopup is free education, not this paid PDP. A puppy course is not a diagnosis. Guarding, separation, and bite risk belong with a veterinarian or a credentialed behavior professional when they are beyond a video.
