Train Smarter, Save More with Legend Acres Online Bundles

We know training is an investment — in your dog, in your partnership, and in your peace of mind. That’s why our new Legend Acres Bundles are built to give you both value and flexibility.


Each bundle is already priced 20% below the full sticker value. And if you choose the one-time upfront payment, you’ll unlock an additional 10% in savings — making it the most affordable way to train.


Prefer to spread out payments? No problem. Choose our flex-pay option (4 easy monthly payments) or a monthly subscription with continued access as long as you stay enrolled.


No matter which path you choose, you’ll save compared to purchasing classes separately — and you’ll enjoy structured, flexible training designed to help you and your dog succeed.
