My husband is a retired psychologist and we both were impressed by your free trial video for many reasons.
First, it gave a really good idea of how training sessions might be.
Second, we really like the fact it showed the behavior before training and after training with time indicated. You get the idea how long it took to correct undesired behavior.
Third, we appreciated Dr's explanation of the technique used in the training program because it really made sense to use. We both are familiar with psychology terminology and your explanation made perfect sense to us. We loved your explanation using the four quadrants.
Fourth, we loved your 3 rules, particularly the third rule which was a new concept to us. Assigning a job for her to do to correct the undesired behavior was a really eye opening idea. We can't wait to try this.

Thank you for the special offer.

Best training ever
July 12, 2021

Tess was the best but because she lived in the country with us we never had to leash her but going to town was a different thing. She constantly pulled and I was considering a prong collar for her. Turns out I didn't need it once she learned to watch she was just like she was at home

Free Video Tips
July 11, 2021

These tips worked very well! Although there were a few tips I would've appreciated more such as not running away with clothings or stop jumping up onto counters- I have a very stubborn lab.

Brilliant Knowledge shared
July 11, 2021

Thank you for sharing this - it's given me an understanding that was missing! A huge step in communicating with our dog Zeus and understanding he needs a job to do …. Changing his mind from what he was doing

I am enjoying applying the elements of your workshop to my handling of my 3.3 month old puppy. The techniques, especially the body language, are easy to use and they are working.

Outstanding Free Training Video
July 10, 2021

I happened to be awake late one night and was worrying about how I can help my elderly Dad with his 3 year old dog that was never socialized as a pup or properly trained. I happened across this free video and learned a great deal. I have been applying the techniques taught and they are working. 1. Watch and touch. 2. Give your dog a job to do. 3. Use body language
I highly recommend you watch this 45 minute free video. You will have lots to take away from it!

LifeSaver
July 10, 2021

K9 Training Institute has been a real life saver. I rescued a puppy, he is wonderful, not understanding how active and hyper he would be. So different from my other dogs. This training is really helping me turn my household into a calm one.

People knowledge for a great dog!
July 10, 2021

Each of the training that comes free has been so interesting and all of it has been things I can use. I wish I had this information in a person standing next to me, so when my puppy gets older he'll be just like one of your dogs!

Love it!
July 9, 2021

Everything I've read and watched so far I really like. I have had German Shepard's for years, I've always wanted my dogs to be at total attention to me, but didn't know how to get that. My puppy is 4 months so I am looking forward to training this one like your videos explain. Just hope I can do it!, thank you
