Training our pets can be a handful. What is great is all the help available online to assist us in training our pet cats, dogs, and our feathered friends. I wrote and commented on several online groups reviewed in 2024. It is time to update our info with more current resources. I am in the midst of trying to train my 3-year-old kitty…and help I do need!
As mentioned in my previous article, training is our best way to keep our pets engaged and alert. That positive interaction keeps them happy and confident when learning.
Kitty Online Training Sites
Humane World for Animals, formerly The Humane Society of the US, provides training tips for your cats and dogs. They offer a free download for my kitty and info on choosing your best Catico for your feline friend.
Maddie’s Fund.org has online courses you can take to learn more about your feline friends and your doggos. Their University has many free courses available to you.
CatSchool.co is headed by an Associate Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, Julie. She started Cat School in 2004 after training her own cats. She offers online tutorials in clicker training. You can subscribe for just 25 dollars monthly. This, I believe, will be good for my kitty.
Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University use to publish a Catnip newsletter available online. Now you can simply go to their website for excellent info on caring for and training your kitty cat here.
Doggy Online Training and Selected Books
The Spruce Pets review site named several online canine training sites in my 2024 article. One of those is also included in their 2026 picks which are all training books. Their book list includes:
Best Overall: The Power of Positive Dog Training at Amazon

Zak George’s online video series, ‘Dog Training Revolution’ was chosen by Spruce in 2024. See “Pet Training and Education“.

Birdy Online Training Sites
Avian Behaviour Lab is in southern California, founded in 2013. They offer 9 levels of learning how to train and live with your pet bird. You have acess to their instructors and members through Facebook and in their step-by-step course workbooks and bi-monthly live webinar sessions. Membership starts at $39 monthly. You can also opt for a 14-day free trial membership.
You can find good basic bird training info and resource links on Best Friends Animal Society site. They have free articles on petting a bird, reading a bird’s body language, and more.
My Right Bird is another site providing great tips on bird care and behavior. They have a quiz for you which helps identify the best type of bird for your lifestyle and personality. They also have available pet birds you can link to as well as bird care courses.
