## Review

- [Brain Training for Dogs review](https://pawschool.nook21.com/): Brain Training for Dogs (ClickBank vendor brainydogs) is an online, force-free course credited to Adrienne Farricelli (CPDT-KA per vendor) with 21+ brain games across 7 levels, a puppy section and a behavior bonus. As of October 11, 2026 the ClickBank checkout showed $67.00 one-time with no rebill and a 60-day refund limit; no upsells were shown at checkout (third-party upsell claims unverified). Not a substitute for a vet or certified behavior professional for aggression or fear.
