Puppy training
July 25, 2021

I'm strongly considering signing up for the masterclass K9 training after looking at the 8 minute video. Having an animal behaviorist design a dog training program makes sense to me.

The introductory videos and courses that I have watched, have already made a difference in the way I approach my training of my 9-month-old German Shepard. It is truly inspirational and very worthwhile. I found the material to be easy to understand and explains fully how to go about doing the training properly. I've been doing it wrong for many, many years. In two days there has been a vast improvement just from the few short videos I have watched already and implemented. This is an excellent system and I would recommend it without hesitation.

I just can't afford it currently

I love this training! I have
July 24, 2021

I have been working with dogs for 30 years but never had elevated my skills passed training dogs for Delta. I specialize in working with special needs. Your curriculum has taught this old dog some new new tools. I had a stroke last year and left the classroom to pursuit the one thing I love most. I took a break from teaching 16 years ago and became an Area Trainer for PetSmart. I couldn't stand the food based training but I stuck with it. All the while instructing pet parents on the importance of communicating with their dog. I will sign up for the Mastee Class when I am financially able.

I watched the free video. I found the information very useful. I really like the notion of giving your dog a job. The Idea of communicating nonverbally is also an interesting part of this training. Before I was trying to train with treats but I have observed my dog looks for nonverbal cues as well. I have used the walking instruction of changing directions and abruptly stopping to keep the dog focused on me and not what is happening externally. We have a fence line that triggers a lot of anxiety. By doing this I have reduced pulling and my dog exploding to return the barking,.

Bouncing Bou
July 23, 2021

My Hungarian Vizsla is very bouncy and jumps up or rebounds off my back. I tried the method shown in the video clip. She was confused at first but after repeated efforts on her behalf not working she modified it, again it didn't work for her. Now she rolls on her back at my feet and bites them.

Training Peanut
July 22, 2021

My wife and I are not dog trainers but just lovers of Shih Tzus. Peanut is a 7-month old puppy who needed some more rigorous training about jumping, barking and a few other behaviors. The course helped us understand what Peanut was thinking and how to address his issues. We highly recommend this course for anyone who is having some difficulties with their doggie.
