Train Your Inner Dog — Book on coffee table with morning coffee

The Book

Your Mind Has an Untrained Dog
Running the Show

67,000 thoughts a day. Most are automatic. Most are negative. And they're controlling everything — your confidence, your relationships, your income, your happiness.

This book shows you exactly how to train it.

Have you ever wondered why you know what to do…
but you still can't do it?

Sound Familiar?

You're Not Broken. You're Programmed.

🔄

You set goals in January and quit by February — again.

🧱

You know you’re capable of more, but something invisible holds you back.

📚

You’ve read the books, watched the videos, done the courses. Still stuck.

🤐

You catch yourself saying “I’m not good enough” before you even try.

💣

You sabotage good things the moment they start working.

🧠

You understand your problems. You just can’t seem to fix them.

If you checked even one of these — this book was written for you.

Marc-Olivier Lafleur — Author

The Author's Story

From a Camping Chair
to a $6.9 Million Business

At 22, Marc-Olivier Lafleur had lost everything. His business. His girlfriend. His savings. He was living in a basement with a camping chair as his only furniture, a $25-a-week grocery budget, and $4,000 in credit card debt.

Out of desperation, he tried something that felt ridiculous: listening to affirmations on repeat. For three weeks, nothing changed. It felt fake. His reality said otherwise.

Then, in week three, momentum hit. Three sales in a single day. By 23, he was making $40,000 a month. By 25, $90,000 a month. He went on to build a business that generated $6.9 million in sales, while traveling the world. The exact life he had been affirming back when he was living in that basement.

Nothing external changed first. Only his internal voice did.

The Core Idea

You Have an Innerdog

That voice in your head — the one telling you you're not enough, you'll fail, you don't deserve it — that's not you. That's your Innerdog. And right now, it's completely untrained.

🦴

Chews on everything

Destroys what you’re building with doubt and fear

📢

Barks at everything

Attacks every opportunity with worst-case scenarios

💩

Digs up old shit

Brings up embarrassments from years ago at 2am

💧

Pees on your confidence

Undermines your belief right before you need it most

But here's the thing: dogs are trainable.

This book is the training manual.

The Science

This Isn't Motivation. It's Neuroscience.

The book gives you the complete framework for understanding and reprogramming your mind.

🔬

The RAS Filter

Your brain filters 99.99% of reality. The Reticular Activating System decides what gets through. Change the filter, change what you see.

🗄️

The Database Model

Your mind stores beliefs like a database. You can only retrieve what’s been installed. “I am confident” must be in there before you can access confidence.

The Chain Reaction

Thoughts → Emotions → Actions → Results. Every result in your life started with a thought. This is the only intervention point.

“You are not stuck because of your situation.
You're stuck because you keep thinking the same thoughts about your situation.”

Inside the Book

15 Chapters That Reprogram Your Mind

Intro

You Have a Dog Problem

The camping chair, the $25 grocery budget, and the moment everything changed.

01

Why This Matters

You have 67,000 thoughts a day. Most are automatic. Most are negative. And they're running your entire life.

02

Meet Your Innerdog

That voice in your head isn't you. It's an untrained dog. And you've been letting it run the show.

03

Your Dog's Default Programming

How repetition and trauma installed every belief you have — and why understanding alone won't fix it.

05

The Law of the Universe

The Reticular Activating System: the real science behind why you keep seeing proof of what you believe.

You will slip. Here’s why that’s normal, and exactly how to recover without losing momentum.

This Book Is For You If:

  • You want to change but don’t know where to start

  • You’ve tried positive thinking and it didn’t stick

  • You keep repeating the same destructive patterns

  • You understand your issues intellectually but can’t seem to fix them

This Book Is Not For You If:

  • You’re not willing to practice daily for at least 90 days

  • You prefer to blame others for where you are

  • You think reading one more book will change things without action

From the Book

The Daily Practice That Changes Everything

Chapter 9 gives you the exact protocol. Here's a taste.

🌅

Morning

15 min

Affirmations spoken in your own voice. Identity-first. Present tense.

🎧

During the Day

Ongoing

Input control. Positive music, curated content, conscious conversations.

🌙

Evening

15 min

Reflection. Reinforce new identity. Gratitude for who you’re becoming.

😴

Sleep

7-8 hrs

Affirmations on loop. Your subconscious absorbs while you rest. Free hours.

The math: 15 min morning + 15 min evening + 7 hours sleep + 2 hours music = 570 minutes of reprogramming per day. In 90 days, that's 855 hours of new programming.

Still Not Sure?

Let's Be Honest

“I’ve read self-help books before. They don’t work.”

This isn’t a self-help book. It’s a reprogramming manual. Most books give you information. This book changes how your brain processes information. There’s a difference.

“Affirmations feel fake.”

They’re supposed to — at first. Chapter 10 explains the extinction burst: your old programming fights back hardest right before it breaks. Feeling fake is literally the sign it’s working.

“I don’t have time for a daily practice.”

You’re already practicing — you just don’t know it. Every negative thought loop is practice. Every worry session is a repetition. This book helps you practice intentionally instead of accidentally.

“Can’t I just use the app?”

The app is the tool. The book is the understanding. When you know why you’re doing something, you do it better, longer, and with more conviction. They work best together.

“No one is coming to save you.
And that's the most liberating thing you'll ever hear.”
