DIYK9 doesn’t have one price. It has three ways to pay, and the right option depends on what your dog actually needs.
Individual courses range from $119 to $697, memberships start at $39 per month, and the Complete Dog Training System costs $2,497 with 24 months of Elite Membership included.
That’s why the DIYK9 price is so easy to misread.
A $119 puppy course, a $59 monthly membership, and a $2,497 all-in-one system are completely different purchases, with different access, terms, and refund rules. Mixing them together can make DIYK9 look much cheaper or far more expensive than it really is.
This guide breaks down what each option costs and what you actually get, based on DIYK9’s own store, membership page, terms, and FAQs.
It also covers costs that many pricing pages leave out, including the e-collar required for Unleashed.

Individual courses, club memberships, and the Complete Training System.
The DIYK9 price for courses is $119 to $697 each, with lifetime access. Memberships cost $39, $59, or $99 a month (Foundation, Control, Elite), or $299, $499, or $899 a year. The Complete Dog Training System is $2,497 once, including 24 months of Elite Membership. For most owners, one course or an annual membership costs far less than the bundle.
For most owners, purchasing a single targeted course or an annual membership delivers targeted results for far less than the $2,497 bundle.
Individual digital courses include a 30-day money-back guarantee. Club memberships give you continuous access and community Q&A support.
As of October 2026, DIYK9’s individual courses cost between $119 and $697, memberships cost between $39 and $99 per month or $299 and $899 per year, and the Complete Dog Training System costs $2,497 as a one-time payment, according to DIYK9’s store and membership pages.
How Much Does DIYK9 Cost?
The DIYK9 price depends on which of three paths you choose, because DIYK9 isn’t a single-price product.
- Individual courses: One-time purchases with lifetime access, ranging from $119 for Potty Training, Crate Training, and Puppy Biting & Manners up to $697 for Unleashed! 5-Step E-Collar. Popular options include Puppy Essentials and The Perfect Walk at $297 each, and Obedience 101 at $397.
- Memberships: Three tiers – Foundation, Control, and Elite – billed monthly or annually. Monthly plans unlock courses over time, while annual plans unlock eligible courses immediately.
- Complete Dog Training System: A $2,497 one-time payment for lifetime access to the five core courses, plus 24 months of Elite Membership. DIYK9 says comparable Elite access would cost more than $2,300 at the monthly rate.
The best option depends on whether you need one specific course, ongoing membership access, or the full training system.

Two price details most pages miss:
- Puppy Essentials is a bundle, not a separate course. Buying Potty, Crate, and Biting & Manners separately costs $357, so the $297 bundle saves $60.
- The Playbook is not a standalone purchase in practice. DIYK9 lists Leashed and Unleashed as prerequisites. Buying all three separately is $1,691. DIYK9’s Playbook bundle with both is $1,397, which saves $294.
DIYK9 also sells Tracking Mastery ($497) and Trilogy of Aggression ($497). Both are built for working-dog handlers rather than pet owners, so we don’t cover them here.
DIYK9 Membership Prices: Foundation, Control, and Elite
The DIYK9 price for a membership depends on two choices: billing (monthly or annual) and tier. The tier decides which courses and how much live support you get.
Who each tier is built for, according to DIYK9:
- Foundation: puppies up to 6 months old, using reward-based foundations.
- Control: dogs of any age that need real-world obedience around distractions, on and off leash.
- Elite: owners who want the highest level of training, support, and reliability. It adds a priority question queue, live follow-up questions, replays, written summaries of live sessions, and priority coach responses.
Monthly vs annual changes the real DIYK9 price, not just the sticker. On monthly plans, courses unlock over time. On annual plans, eligible courses unlock instantly.
Our math uses 30-day billing cycles and DIYK9’s published course-unlock days. Courses released later would add extra cost.
DIYK9 memberships currently come in three tiers: Foundation at $39 per month or $299 per year, Control at $59 per month or $499 per year, and Elite at $99 per month or $899 per year. Based on those published prices, annual plans save roughly $169 to $289 per year compared with paying monthly.
DIYK9 Club Memberships
Get ongoing support, live trainer Q&A sessions, community guidance, and continuous access to training updates.
If you pick a monthly plan, count the payments it takes to unlock what you actually want.
Control, for example, takes about five payments ($295) to unlock all five core courses, and the annual plan at $499 unlocks them on day one.
Anyone who wants to own the courses permanently.
DIYK9’s Terms say you keep access to membership content until the end of your billing period after you cancel. Its FAQ promises lifetime access for courses you purchased, so assume courses unlocked through a membership go away when you stop paying, and confirm with DIYK9 if that matters.
DIYK9 Complete Dog Training System ($2,497): What You Get
The Complete Dog Training System is DIYK9’s all-in-one purchase, and its $2,497 DIYK9 price is a single payment. DIYK9’s page lists five courses plus membership:
It also includes 24 months of Elite Membership, with weekly live Q&A sessions and recordings, a priority question queue, written summaries, an Elite-only channel, and responses from DIYK9 coaches. DIYK9 shows $2,997 crossed out next to the $2,497 price, offers Afterpay at checkout, and backs it with the 30-day money-back guarantee.
What the bundle really costs you:
| Comparison | Cost |
|---|---|
| The five courses bought separately | $2,085 |
| Complete Dog Training System | $2,497 |
| Extra you pay for the bundle | $412 |
| Two years of Elite bought annually ($899 x 2) | $1,798 |
| Bundle price minus two years of Elite | $699 |
In plain terms, the extra $412 over buying the five courses separately pays for the 24 months of Elite support.
If you value that support at DIYK9’s annual Elite rate, you’re effectively paying about $699 for lifetime access to the five core courses, with the rest of the bundle price going toward two years of Elite Membership.
If you don’t expect to use the live coaching and support, buying the courses separately is cheaper.
The DIYK9 Complete Dog Training System costs $2,497, which is $412 more than buying its five included courses separately for $2,085. That difference pays for 24 months of Elite Membership, which DIYK9 says would cost more than $2,300 at the monthly rate.
One Thing to Confirm Before You Buy
DIYK9’s product page lists five included courses, while its membership page describes the Complete System as including lifetime access to “every course.”
If lifetime access to programs such as The Aggression and Reactivity Playbook or The Power of Free Shaping matters to you, confirm exactly what’s included with DIYK9 support before purchasing and keep the answer in writing.
Complete Dog Training System
Full lifetime access to the entire DIYK9 curriculum—from puppy foundations to advanced off-leash and behavior mastery—plus 24 months of Elite trainer coaching.
Membership vs Courses vs Bundle: Which Is Cheapest?
The lowest DIYK9 price is not always the best deal, so here’s the same training content compared three ways.
| What You Want | Buy the Courses | Membership (Annual) | Complete System |
|---|---|---|---|
| Puppy Essentials, Obedience 101, Perfect Walk | $991 | Foundation: $299, plus Zero to Hero | Not sold alone |
| The five core courses | $2,085 | Control: $499 | $2,497 with lifetime access |
| Five core courses + Free Shaping + Playbook | $3,179 | Elite: $899 | Not listed |
Course totals use DIYK9’s individual course prices. Zero to Hero and the two training-journey courses aren’t sold separately.
The membership route looks dramatically cheaper upfront, but the access model is different.
Membership access lasts only while your subscription remains active. Individually purchased courses stay in your account with lifetime access.
So the real comparison isn’t just price. It’s lower-cost ongoing access vs higher-cost lifetime ownership.
DIYK9’s Control annual membership costs $499 and includes access to the same five core courses listed in the $2,497 Complete Dog Training System. The difference is that membership access depends on an active subscription, while the Complete System includes lifetime access to its course content.
Pick Based on Your Situation
| Your Situation | Cheapest Sensible Route |
|---|---|
| New puppy under 6 months | Puppy Essentials ($297) for lifetime access, or Foundation annual ($299) for four courses while subscribed |
| One specific problem | Buy the single course that matches it, usually $119-$397 |
| Not sure DIYK9 suits you | Start with the free course, then try a monthly plan if you want more access |
| You want the e-collar course | Control annual ($499) costs less than Unleashed alone at $697, if subscription access is fine |
| Reactive dog and you want the Playbook | Elite annual ($899) vs the Playbook bundle at $1,397 |
| You want lifetime ownership plus coaching | Complete Dog Training System ($2,497) |
The cheapest route depends on whether you want one-time lifetime ownership or lower-cost subscription access.
If you’re unsure, start small.
Buy the one course that matches your biggest problem, or try the free course. DIYK9 lets you exchange a course if you picked the wrong one, so a $297 start carries far less risk than a $2,497 one.
Hidden Costs Most DIYK9 Pricing Pages Skip
The advertised DIYK9 price isn’t always the full cost. Based on DIYK9’s own FAQ and Terms, these are the extras worth planning for:
- E-collar for Unleashed: DIYK9 says the course does not include an e-collar. It notes that quality units typically cost $180 or more and recommends E-Collar Technologies, with models chosen by dog weight.
- Training tools for Leashed: The course covers leash-pressure work using tools such as prong, slip, and martingale collars. DIYK9 does not publish a fixed price for those tools.
- Treats and food: Obedience 101 uses food-based training, so you’ll need to budget for treats or other high-value rewards.
- Limited support window: Standalone courses and Puppy Essentials include 12 months of course-comment support, while the Complete System includes 24 months. After that, continued support requires a membership. DIYK9 also says more than 20 questions in one course may be considered excessive.
- Daily training time: DIYK9 says most owners should expect around 5-15 minutes of training per day. It also says Unleashed may take 4-6 weeks to build full off-leash reliability and recommends waiting until a puppy is about 5 months old before starting.
- Streaming-only access: Courses are not offered as downloadable files or DVDs. You watch them online or through the Kajabi app.
- Chargebacks: DIYK9 states that disputing a payment with your bank immediately removes access to all purchased courses.
Before you commit to Unleashed, price the whole setup.
The course costs $697, plus a quality e-collar at $180 or more, per DIYK9. That is a better comparison against Control annual ($499), which includes the course but not the collar.
DIYK9’s Unleashed e-collar course does not include an e-collar, and DIYK9 says most quality units cost $180 or more, so the real cost of the course is its $697 price plus the equipment.

Check the Current DIYK9 OfferDIYK9 Refund Policy by Purchase Type
The refund rules depend on what you buy, not just the DIYK9 price.
| Purchase | Guarantee | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Courses and bundles, including the Complete System | 30-day money-back guarantee | Email DIYK9 from your purchase address. Refunds return to the original payment method in 5-10 business days. |
| Memberships, all tiers | 7-day money-back guarantee | The clock starts at purchase. Cancel within 7 days and membership perks end immediately. After 7 days, you can cancel anytime, but payments aren’t refunded. |
| Wrong course | Exchange | DIYK9 says it will exchange a course purchased by mistake. |
Fine Print Worth Reading
- DIYK9 can decline a refund it considers abuse, including repeated requests or requests made after significant course completion.
- Its platform tracks your course activity.
- Starting a chargeback revokes access to purchased courses.
According to DIYK9’s Terms and Conditions updated May 20, 2026, courses and bundles include a 30-day money-back guarantee, while Foundation, Control, and Elite memberships include a 7-day money-back guarantee.
DIYK9’s separate refund-policy page still describes memberships as non-refundable under older plan names, which conflicts with its newer Terms.
The Terms and membership page both state a 7-day guarantee. If that matters to your decision, contact DIYK9 support before buying and keep the reply in writing.
You can also review the source pages directly: DIYK9 Terms and Conditions and DIYK9 FAQs.
Access length: DIYK9’s Terms say purchased courses include lifetime access. Two FAQ answers still mention 12-month access, including one relating to Unleashed outside the U.S. If lifetime access is important to you, confirm it with support before purchasing.
DIYK9 Cost vs Hiring a Dog Trainer
DIYK9 isn’t a replacement for every type of dog training, but comparing its prices with in-person training helps put the cost in context.
2026 pricing guides from Bark and DogSchool list typical U.S. costs in roughly these ranges:
| Training Type | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Group classes | $30-$80 per session, or about $120-$600 for a 4-8 week course |
| Private lessons | $45-$300 per hour |
| Board-and-train | About $500-$1,650 per week according to Bark, or $1,500-$5,000+ for a multi-week program according to DogSchool |
These guides don’t agree on exact pricing, and rates can be higher in major cities, so treat them as broad ranges.
Putting DIYK9 Next to Those Costs
- Puppy Essentials ($297): roughly comparable to a multi-week group class or a few hours of private training.
- Complete Dog Training System ($2,497): falls within the $1,500-$5,000+ range DogSchool lists for multi-week board-and-train programs.
That doesn’t make the services equivalent. In-person trainers can observe your dog directly, adjust techniques in real time, and respond to problems a prerecorded course cannot see.
Where an In-Person Professional Matters More
DIYK9 itself says owners dealing with aggression, reactivity, or dominance should consult a veterinarian and an in-person trainer first.
The ASPCA also recommends expert help when a behavior problem puts your dog, people, or other animals at risk.
For serious behavior problems, an online course should not be treated as a substitute for individualized professional assessment.
Is DIYK9 Worth the Price?
Whether DIYK9 is worth the price depends mostly on whether the course matches your dog’s problem and whether you’ll actually use the training.
DIYK9 Can Be Worth It If:
- You have a clear goal, such as puppy training, basic obedience, or leash pulling
- You’ll consistently practice for about 5-15 minutes a day
- You want lifetime access instead of ongoing subscription access
- One $119-$397 course directly addresses your main problem
DIYK9 May Not Be Worth It If:
- You want reward-based training only: DIYK9 describes itself as a balanced-training company. Obedience 101 and Free Shaping fit more closely with a reward-based approach, while Leashed, Unleashed, and the Playbook use other training methods.
- Your budget is under $100: Start with the free DIYK9 course or compare lower-cost programs in our best online dog training courses guide, SpiritDog review, Brain Training for Dogs review, or K9 Training Institute review.
- Your dog has bitten someone or shows serious aggression: Individual professional guidance is a safer starting point.
- You only need one skill: Buying a large bundle usually makes less sense than choosing the single course that addresses that problem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the DIYK9 price in 2026?

Is the DIYK9 Complete Dog Training System worth $2,497?
It costs $412 more than buying its five courses separately ($2,085), and that extra pays for 24 months of Elite Membership. It makes sense if you want to own all five courses and use the live coaching. If you only need one or two skills, individual courses cost much less.

DIYK9 offers Afterpay on the Complete System, and Afterpay, PayPal Credit, and Klarna appear on some course pages. Available options depend on the product at checkout.
Do I need to buy an e-collar for Unleashed?
Yes. The Unleashed course does not include an e-collar. DIYK9 says most quality units cost $180 or more and recommends E-Collar Technologies models matched to your dog’s weight.
Final Verdict, Is DIYK9 Worth the Price?
The Real DIYK9 Price: Final Verdict
The DIYK9 price isn’t simply $2,497, and it isn’t simply $39 a month.
Your real cost depends on which course, membership, or extras your dog actually needs.
- New puppy: Puppy Essentials at $297 is the clearest starting point.
- One specific problem: Buy the single course that matches it, usually $119-$397.
- Want broad access for less upfront: Control annual at $499 includes access to the same five core courses as the Complete System, but only while your membership remains active.
- Want lifetime ownership plus coaching: The $2,497 Complete Dog Training System includes lifetime course access plus 24 months of Elite Membership.
- Remember the extras: Factor in tools such as the e-collar for Unleashed, the support window, and the daily training time.
For most owners, the smarter move is to start with the smallest option that solves the problem.
Use the guarantee window, see whether the training works for you, and upgrade only when you actually need more.
