Enjoying the tips and tricks they offer. I have trouble with my pup barking at other dogs and people as they walk by. It can be frustrating at times because she is the sweetest dog and is coming off as an aggrieved one when she barks and pulls towards other dogs and people.

Free Dog Training Workshop
August 4, 2021

The workshop was very helpful, more than the 4 private lessons that I paid for recently with a private company. They basicly told me that my dog had too many problems and they would discuss with the owner and get back with me. They didn't call back for over a month and then only wanting to know if I wanted to resume training with them.
I wish I had seen this workshop before I paid the money for the private lessons. Which was of not much help at all.
I have learned much more from this free workshop that I am now putting into practice..

Simple effective method
August 4, 2021

Very impressed. If you think about the premise from the dog's point of view, it makes perfect sense. Dogs (especially Goldens) want to please their master and others. Giving them a job to do is perfect. What was helpful to me was to better understand what the word "job" really means. It can be very simple, like stay down. If they believe they should not get up until they are released, it becomes a job for them, which they like.
This all assumes, of course, that the dog recognizes the owner as the dominant member of the pack - which is where some people encounter problems.

I love the explanations behind the what you teach snd when Rosie is 12 weeks and my goal is to use her as a therapy dog someday. She is doing well with watch and touch. Distractions are distractions. But it takes time snd I have vowed not to get frustrated. The way to stop nipping at me has helped so much-I'm her favorite chew toy

Specific information
August 4, 2021

A 4 year old rescue German Spitz with some character flaws and some bad experiences for which the advice given has been unexpectedly totally correct-and some!
From dropping hair to barking/answering the door and now a torn LCN (rear left knee ligament) and expected heavy veterinary costs on the way!
This advice has led us to seeking a physiotherapist (today) as it may not be as bad as we may think. Some weeks of physio will therefore shed a better light on the problem. An operation now/ or later following this physio, would give us time to teach Stevienicks with some of the finer points in training her more following this introductory program and to follow up with the full training course which would only improve her well being for now and for Stevienicks future.

Love it!
August 3, 2021

This is absolutely amazing if you need to train your dog and dont feel like sending your dog to train with a professional this institute is the great! I love the fact that because of this institue my dog not only knows verbal comands but he sees my hand gestures as well as my body language and understands what needs to be done. I recommend this if ever YOU want to train your dog yourself or with family.

Awesome
August 3, 2021

My dog is a beautiful Coonhound that loves attention. On initial greeting she is very excited and jumps up on people. The online training provided by Dr. Díaz has started to work. My family is shocked! It's a work in progress but so far it's helped! Thank you

Great tips
August 3, 2021

The K9 training offers many great tips in training my dog that I did not know. I was doing it all wrong. After watching the introductory video, it gave me a much better understanding on how to begin to train my dog and get him to cooperate.

Final hope to not have to give up our dog. I hope this curriculum and these trainers can make it possible to keep our puppy instead of having to find him a different home.
