I have received any helpful tips and useful information to help train my poodle puppy. The only problem I have with it is they keep asking for more money, constantly trying to sell me things. I'm not a fan of that

I have used some of your techniques and have been amazed to watch Archie's progress. He is much more obedient and calmer. I woukd like to join the master class, but can not afford it at this time.

Dog training

I'm already using the tips for jumping and pulling. Although my stubborn girl can still pull a plough, eventually I think the walking away will work.

I opened the Free dog training thinking I would see an ad to buy a training manual or something. How very wonderful to actually get some excellent training tips I could start using right away. Plus they sent me some more in my email. Very helpful.

Very impressive organisation
July 6, 2021

I have watched their intro video and found it very informative. They seem to be very professional and offer support. Their email follow-ups are friendly without being pushy and I would imagine the total course to be well worth the value and would produce great results.

Learning Experience
July 6, 2021

I just rescued my dog, Zeke and he seemed to have had some training. He walked at my side and looked up at me without a leash which is highly unusual for a rescue. I was trying to teach him sit, stay, etc but he wasn't quite getting it until I accidentally touched my right shoulder to scratch it. He sat immediately. I was unaware of which hand signals ment what so I started investigating on the internet when I came across the free video. I am trying to absorb as much as I can to catch up to Zeke's training. He is a wonderful dog and I have learned from him. He is a 1 1/2 yer old mix Golden Retriever / Labrador Retriever.

Stop Jumping

Have put into practice of moving into Shelley's space and not looking at her. In a day she started to get the message.

Thanks to K9 I now have a better understanding of why Enzo behaves the way he does. Together we are both changing our behaviour & making it fun during our retraining process HaHa. Now we're having good behaviour & lots of good interaction with visitors. It's a pleasure to see how fast the results happen when you know what your doing. A great investment for Enzo's happiness.

Game changer.
July 5, 2021

I have been adopting the tips from the free workshop and Thor is already making great progress. He is trained as a Deer Dog, tracking deer and as such, pulls massively on the lead and has relatively poor recall. Providing him with jobs to do maintains his focus and the touch tactic is improving his recall all the time. I would love to subscribe to the remainder of the course however, cannot stretch the budget at the moment. Maybe in the future.

Excellente Trainer
July 5, 2021

Very good in explaining the course and teaching how it would work. What i really liked was that he took his time to see how the puppies would react to each other and how he would be training them. Other people would come sign and leave but he changed the meaning of good customer service. He took his time with us and the dogs.

Puppy and adolescent dog mayhem
July 5, 2021

I'm only just enrolling on the master class but just the introductory videos have helped me already I'd forgotten how I taught my adolescent assistance dog through body language but then it all went to chaos when he had a drug reaction leaving him with ptsd making him anxious in public so I started mantrailling with him which is highly successful giving him a job to do but i miss the walks in the park so using body language and his watch and touch commands again has calmed him down enormously so I'm hoping for huge success from the rest of the master class thank you

Insightful workshop
July 5, 2021

I have a well behaved and obedient dog. However, there are a few little behaviours I wanted to work on and this workshop has given me a few great working examples and insights on how to address them.
