Brain Training for Dogs: what the sales page says about price, refunds and the free lesson
Last updated 2026-10-03 · By Smart Pick Desk editors · Sales page, checkout and refund policy read on 2026-10-02; sales page and refund policy re-read on 2026-10-03 · We have not bought or used Brain Training for Dogs · How we checked ↓
The short answer
Brain Training for Dogs is an online dog training course by Adrienne Farricelli, who describes herself as a certified dog trainer. It is sold through ClickBank, and the web address is braintraining4dogs.com. On 2026-10-02 the sales page asked $67, called it a special launch price, and showed a higher price crossed out beside it.[1] Three things are worth knowing before you click “Instant Access”:
- You can try one lesson first, for free. The seller's home page offers a free online lesson, the Airplane Game, and the lesson page had no form asking for an email address. The lesson calls the game “just one of 21 brain-busting brain games” in the course.[2] That is the only way we found to judge the teaching before paying.
- The refund window is 60 days in all three places we read. The sales page, the ClickBank checkout and ClickBank's return policy all said 60 days.[1][4][5] The cart we opened listed one item, with no add-ons and no monthly line.[4] ClickBank's policy adds conditions, which we set out below.
- The trainer's credential can be checked; the promised results cannot. A public directory run by the CCPDT, the body that issues the CPDT-KA credential, lists a trainer of the same name with that credential.[6] The sales page also promises fast results for almost any behavior problem, which we have no way to test, and it does not use the word aggression at all.[1]
If you want one sentence: try the free lesson first, and if your dog has bitten someone or threatens to, start with your vet and a qualified professional before any course.
Where our buttons go: they use a ClickBank link that opens the seller's sales page at braintraining4dogs.com.[1] The order buttons on that page lead to a ClickBank checkout on clickbank.net.[4]

How we checked this (and what we did not check)
Last updated 2026-10-03. First read on 2026-10-02 and re-read on 2026-10-03 before publishing, except the checkout and the Trustpilot page; nothing quoted here had changed. Prices and terms change — check the pages yourself before you pay.
What we did. On 2026-10-02 we opened the Brain Training for Dogs sales page in a browser, without an account, and saved its text. We saved the seller's home page, the page it runs for affiliates (including its short list of rules for affiliates), its about, contact, reviews, disclaimer and privacy pages, and the four pages of the free Airplane Game lesson. We opened the checkout that the “Instant Access” button leads to, read the cart summary, and left it without entering anything. We read ClickBank's return and subscription cancellation policy, which the checkout links to. To check the trainer's credential, we looked her up in the public directory of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) and read its guide to choosing a trainer. We also read the ASPCA's free pages on common dog behavior issues and on aggression, and opened the Trustpilot page for the site. Wording in quotation marks is copied from those pages; the Trustpilot page is summarised in our own words.
What we did not do. We have not bought Brain Training for Dogs. We have not seen the members' area, watched the paid videos, trained a dog with the course, asked for a refund or contacted the seller. So this page says nothing about how good the lessons are, how well they work for any particular dog, or how refund requests are handled in practice. We also do not repeat the customer quotes and endorsements on the sales page, because we cannot check who wrote them. We are not dog trainers or vets, and nothing here is advice about your dog's behavior or health.
What that leaves. What the seller and ClickBank publish, read on one date and put side by side, plus the one free lesson the seller lets anyone open, and two independent pages that help you judge the rest.
What the course includes, as listed
The sales page lists what the one payment covers in two places: in the middle of the page, and again in its question-and-answer section.[1] Here is that list in plain terms, with the part we could and could not check.
| Item on the list | How the page describes it | What we could check |
|---|---|---|
| The games | 21 games in seven modules named after school stages, from attention and eye contact to impulse control and tricks | One game, through the free lesson |
| Videos and pictures | Video demonstrations of the games, and instructions with pictures | Only in the free lesson |
| Obedience lessons | “Obedience 101” and “Polishing Up Your Training”, for commands such as sit, stay, heel and come | Not seen |
| Trick videos | Seven trick training videos, such as roll over and play dead | Titles only |
| Library of articles | Over 100 articles on behavior problems, with a puppy section on potty training, crate training, socialization and bite inhibition | Not seen |
| Bonus course | A second course, Behavior Training for Dogs, on whining, digging, barking, chewing and jumping | Title and topics only |
| Support | Questions sent to the trainer through a support system, and a private members' forum | Not used |
| Access | “An online member's area which means you can easily access all of the information on the go.” | The page does not say for how long |
The page also lists the problems it says the course covers, from potty training, lunging, jumping and digging to excessive barking, impulse control and hyperactivity.[1] That tells you the range the seller claims to cover. It does not tell you how far any one lesson goes, which is why the free lesson matters.
Try the free lesson first
This is the most useful thing on the seller's site for a buyer. The home page offers the Airplane Game as a free lesson, behind a button rather than a sign-up form.[2] When we opened the lesson page, it had no field for an email address. The lesson is spread over three short pages, with photos and a video, and the introduction says “The Airplane Game is just one of 21 brain-busting brain games found in my Brain Training for Dogs course.”[2]
Its stated aim is simple: “Your dog must make eye contact despite the distraction of a cookie.”[2] The first page teaches the dog to look at you when you make a kissing sound. The second has you hold a treat out at arm's length, like airplane wings, and drop it the moment the dog looks you in the eye. It ends with a timed test of three rounds and a grade table.[2]
We did not try the lesson with a dog, so we cannot say how well it works. What you can do with it is simple: try it before you buy, and see whether the format suits you and your dog — short written steps, photos and a video, worked through at home with treats. If the free lesson does not suit you, the paid course is described in the same terms, so it may not either.
Two things to keep in mind:
- The lesson is one game out of 21, by the seller's count, and one of the first. It shows you the teaching style, not every lesson.
- It ends with a sales pitch. The last page of the free lesson links to the paid course and its bonuses.[2] That is normal for a free sample; it is simply worth knowing that it is there.
The claims on the page, and which ones we rely on
A sales page mixes two kinds of statements: the terms of the sale, and claims about results. We only use the first kind as fact.
| Statement | Kind | How we treat it |
|---|---|---|
| The price on the sales page | Term of sale | Used, next to what the checkout showed |
| 60 days to ask for a refund | Term of sale (refund promise) | Used, next to ClickBank's own policy |
| 21 games | Seller's description | Reported as the seller's figure; one game seen through the free lesson |
| That almost any behavior problem can be fixed, and fast | Seller's claim about results | Not repeated as fact; we cannot test it |
| That the dog's health will improve | Seller's claim | Not repeated; we cannot test it |
| A crossed-out higher price, and comparisons with in-person trainer fees | Seller's comparison | Not repeated; there is no earlier price we can check |
| Customer quotes, and endorsements from people the page describes as professionals | Seller's selection | Not repeated; we cannot check who wrote them |
| That the course may not stay available | Seller's framing | Not treated as a deadline; the page gives no date |
Put plainly: the page asks one price today. It does not say whether or when that price changes. Its own question-and-answer section, asked how long the course will be available, answers “I simply do not know.”[1]
The price and the checkout
The sales page states the price once, near the end: $67, described as a special launch price, with a higher figure crossed out beside it.[1] It does not use the words one-time, monthly or subscription. The buttons that follow say “Instant Access” and lead to a ClickBank checkout.[1]
When we opened that checkout on 2026-10-02, four things stood out:[4]
- One item, nothing added. The cart listed a single digital product, “Brain Training for Dogs PLUS Exclusive Bonuses”. There were no add-on offers on the page, no countdown and no line about monthly billing.
- Currency and tax depend on where you are. Opened from the United Arab Emirates, the cart showed the price in UAE dirhams with a separate tax line added to the total. We did not change the country, so we cannot tell you what a buyer elsewhere sees. Read the total on the checkout, not only the price on the sales page.
- The charge has a named descriptor. The checkout says the purchase appears on a bank statement as “CLKBANK*BrainTrainDogs”. That is useful to know if you later look for the charge.
- An exit offer may be set up. The checkout's web address carried an exit-offer setting. We did not try to leave the page, so we cannot say whether anything appears when you do.
After the first purchase
The sales page, the checkout and the seller's page for affiliates do not mention any offers after checkout.[1][3][4] Some sellers on ClickBank list follow-up offers and their prices for affiliates; this one did not, on the page we read. We have not bought, so we cannot tell you whether anything is offered after payment.
What to do with this: decide before you buy what you came for. If it is the course, the cart shows it as one item, and you can decline anything else you are offered later. If you ever accept a recurring offer of any kind, ClickBank's policy says a recurring subscription can be cancelled at any time, and that cancelling stops future payments but does not by itself refund past ones.[5]

Refunds: one number, three places
Here the pages agree. The refund window appears in three places, and all three said 60 days when we read them.
| Where | What it says |
|---|---|
| Sales page[1] | A 60-day refund promise that the page calls unconditional; to ask for one, “just shoot me a quick email, and I'll give you back your money” |
| Checkout page[4] | A ClickBank line saying it will allow a return or replacement “within 60 days from the date of purchase”, with a link to the return policy |
| ClickBank return policy[5] (updated August 26, 2026) | “ClickBank will, at its discretion, allow for the return or replacement of any product within 60 days from the date of purchase.” |
Three more lines in ClickBank's policy are worth knowing before you rely on a refund:[5]
- For digital products, the buyer keeps the product after a return, so ClickBank “reserves the right to issue a return for less than the full purchase price.”
- Its FAQ says a request within 60 days “may be approved” if the customer shows that the case merits a return. That is a softer line than the sales page's no-questions wording.
- After 60 days, customers are directed to the seller, and sellers may request a return on a customer's behalf up to 365 days after purchase.
In plain terms: the window is the same everywhere we looked, but it is not unconditional in ClickBank's own policy. Note the purchase date, and if the course is not for you, ask early rather than on the last day. The seller's contact page gives an email address for general questions, pre-sales support and technical support.[3]
Who you are buying from
The foot of the sales page says “ClickBank is the retailer of products on this site.” and that ClickBank's role as retailer is not an endorsement of the products or of the claims used to promote them.[1] In practice that means two parties:
- ClickBank takes the payment and publishes the return policy above.[4][5]
- The seller provides the course and support. The page is written in the voice of Adrienne Farricelli, who describes herself as a CPDT-KA certified dog trainer living in Arizona.[1][3]
Here the person named on the page can be looked up. On 2026-10-02 the public directory of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) listed a trainer named Adrienne J. Farricelli, in Arizona, with the certification “Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed”.[6] We matched the name and the state; we did not contact her to confirm that the listing and the course author are the same person.
What the letters mean, in the CCPDT's own words: CPDT-KA shows that a trainer “has passed a comprehensive exam and has at least 300 hours of dog training experience”.[6] The same guide notes that dog training “is (as yet) unregulated with no licensing requirements or regulatory oversight”, so a credential like this is one of the few things a buyer can check before paying.[6]
One limit is worth knowing. The ASPCA, writing about aggression, advises owners who hire a certified trainer to ask about their experience with aggressive dogs, because “this expertise isn't required for CPDT certification”.[7] The credential tells you about training knowledge in general, not about any one problem.
The seller's rules for affiliates forbid them to pose as the trainer or as the course's owners.[3] We are neither; see the last section of this page.
What the pages do not tell you
- How long access lasts. The page describes an online members' area you can use on the go, but gives no time limit, and no promise of lifetime access either.[1]
- Whether you can download anything. Nothing on the page says the lessons or videos can be saved for offline use.
- Whether it is one payment. The sales page does not use the words one-time or monthly. The checkout listed one item with no recurring line, which is the clearest sign we found.[4]
- What it offers for aggression. The page talks about reactivity, lunging and barking, but does not use the word aggression. If that is your problem, read the section on who it may not suit.
- What comes after checkout. No later offers are mentioned anywhere we looked; we cannot say whether any appear after payment.
- Whether a different offer appears if you leave the checkout. The checkout's address carried an exit-offer setting; we did not trigger it.
- How many games and articles there really are. Only the seller's own figures are given.
What others say (we have not verified this)
Everything above comes from the seller's and ClickBank's own pages, plus the independent pages we used to check the trainer. We looked for what buyers say as well, and found very little.
- Trustpilot. On 2026-10-02 the Trustpilot page for braintraining4dogs.com showed a TrustScore of 3.7 from a single review, a five-star one from May 2022, and none in the last twelve months.[8] Trustpilot marks the profile as unclaimed, says the company has not asked its customers for reviews so the reviews may not be representative, and says it does not fact-check reviews. The one review is short and positive: the writer says they had bought several training courses before and liked this one most.
- Reviews the seller points to. The seller's site has a reviews page that links to six reviews on other websites.[3] We did not read them, and a list chosen by the seller is not an independent sample.
- Search results. A web search on 2026-10-02 for reviews and complaints brought up mostly posts on Medium, press releases and review blogs. We did not treat any of them as an independent check.
We have not bought the course or compared it with others, so we cannot say whether any of this is right. One review is not a count of how buyers in general feel. The free lesson is the closest you can get to judging the course yourself before you pay.
Who it may suit, and who it may not
Who it may suit, from the page
| If you are… | What the page offers | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| Looking for games to keep a bored dog busy at home | Games such as a muffin game, a bottle game and a shell game[1] | Whether the free lesson's style suits you |
| Training a new puppy | A puppy section on potty training, crate training, socialization and bite inhibition[1] | The free lesson, to see how the steps are written |
| Working on pulling, jumping or barking | Lessons the page says cover these, with step-by-step guides and troubleshooting[1] | Whether that level of detail is enough for your dog |
| Wanting force-free methods | The page says every technique is force-free and based on positive reinforcement[1] | The free lesson shows the approach: treats and eye contact[2] |
| Wanting to keep the cost to one payment | One item in the cart[4] | The total with tax at checkout |
Who it may not suit, and other options
Going by what the pages do and do not say, it may be a poor fit if you are:
- Dealing with aggression, or with a dog that has bitten. The sales page does not cover aggression by name, and the seller's own page warns that “using the wrong techniques will lead to problem behaviors getting worse or even a bite in some cases”.[1] The ASPCA advises owners of aggressive dogs to see a veterinarian “before you do anything else”, to rule out medical causes, and to work “under the guidance of a qualified professional”.[7]
- Hoping for a quick fix. The page promises quick results; we cannot check that, and the free lesson itself asks for repeated practice before the dog responds on cue.[2]
- Wanting someone to watch you and your dog. The course is online, with questions answered through a support system and a forum.[1] If you want someone to observe your dog, the CCPDT directory lists certified trainers and behavior consultants by area.[6]
- Uneasy about pressure to buy now. The page says the course may not stay available, and gives no date. It is fine to try the free lesson and come back.
Free options come first. The seller's free Airplane Game lesson is the obvious first step.[2] The ASPCA also publishes free pages on common dog behavior issues, including barking, destructive chewing, separation anxiety, whining and aggression.[7] We have not compared them with this course, and we have no affiliate link to either.
Before you pay: a short checklist
- Try the free lesson first, and see whether the format suits you and your dog.
- Check that the order button takes you to a checkout on clickbank.net.
- On the checkout, read the total with tax in your currency.
- Make sure the cart shows one item, and no extras you did not choose.
- Note the purchase date and the 60-day window.
- If your dog has bitten someone or threatens to, see your vet first, as the ASPCA advises, before starting any course.

Questions people ask
How much does Brain Training for Dogs cost?
On 2026-10-02 the sales page showed $67 and called it a special launch price.[1] At checkout the total may be shown in your local currency with tax added.[4]
Is it a one-time payment?
The sales page does not say. The checkout we opened listed one item, with no monthly or recurring line.[4] We have not bought, so we cannot say what is offered after payment.
Can I get a refund?
The sales page, the checkout and ClickBank's return policy all said 60 days on 2026-10-02.[1][4][5] ClickBank's policy says returns are at its discretion and may be for less than the full price for digital products.[5]
Is the trainer really certified?
On 2026-10-02 the public directory of the CCPDT listed a trainer named Adrienne J. Farricelli, in Arizona, with the CPDT-KA credential.[6] We matched the name and the state only.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. The seller offers one of the games, the Airplane Game, as a free online lesson with no email field.[2] We read it but did not try it with a dog.
Will it help with an aggressive dog?
The sales page does not use the word aggression.[1] For aggression, the ASPCA advises seeing a veterinarian before anything else and working with a qualified professional.[7] We have not seen what the members' area says about it.
Do you get paid if I buy?
Yes, if you buy through a link marked (paid ad): we may earn a commission through ClickBank at no extra cost to you. The prices and terms on this page are quoted from the seller's and ClickBank's pages either way.

Who writes this
Smart Pick Desk is an independent site. We are not the seller of Brain Training for Dogs and have no role in making it. We promote it through ClickBank's affiliate marketplace: if you buy through a link marked (paid ad), we may earn a commission. What we do is read what the seller and ClickBank publish, write down the date we read it, and say plainly which parts we could not check. More: who the editors are and how we check a page.
We do not promise results. Nothing here is a prediction about how your dog will behave, or advice about your dog's health.
