Real dogs. Real problems. A brighter tomorrow.
It Was the Dog Affiliate Program

Help dog owners solve real problems

A puppy is bouncing off the walls, and someone’s googling a weird puppy calm trick at 2 a.m.

That’s the moment It Was the Dog was written for. If you serve new puppy owners, the It Was the Dog ... Puppy Training Series gives you practical, humor-infused books built around the exact problems people are already searching for: the first 30 days, potty training, biting, destructive chewing, crate and sleep routines, loose-leash walking, recall, calm greetings at the door, social skills, and anxiety.

Share the series. Help families build a calmer, stress-free home and a well-behaved companion they actually enjoy living with. Earn when readers decide to buy.

Starter affiliate swipe

Subject / hook: Which puppy problem showed up before breakfast?

Your puppy can go from “tiny angel” to “feral velociraptor” in the time it takes to refill a coffee. That’s why the It Was the Dog ... Puppy Training Series is built around the exact mess that shows up in real homes: potty accidents, crate drama, land-shark biting, shredded shoes, leash pulling, selective hearing on recall, door-jumping, and the “is my puppy scared or just weird?” confidence stuff. Start with one $27 problem-specific book, choose a focused collection, or get the complete eight-book library.

More captions, email swipes, graphics, the quick-start guide and a sample disclosure are available in the Toolkit now. Add your own Digistore24 affiliate tracking link once it is available before sharing a promotion.
