My fur baby is a changed man!
July 1, 2021

Thank you so much for the advice. My 3 year old Weim is now obedient and calm. We both realized that he needs to "work" and that makes us both happy.

Consistency is key
July 1, 2021

I find training my dog something that I do automatically every day. These exercises are fabulous and if followed on a consistent basis, the mental stimulation for the dog will reward the owners tremendously

The best K9 Training Institute

Their approach towards dog training is far much more effective. It does not require much more efforts to achieve the results.

Definitely good pointers here
June 30, 2021

Just saw the introduction. Tried the jumping issue - some difficulties as I am dealing with a 2 dog situation - but I can see how this works with a single dog well.
My boy probably needs touch and watch commands for starters

Our Job
June 30, 2021

Both my husband and I enjoyed the video. Our dog is a Black Russian Terrier and he is quite calm until he hears other dogs. We were impressed with the "give your dog a job" premise. We have been using this approach and it seems to work.

It was such a pleasure to get advice from a trainer who is willing to give it free. That speaks to the integrity and ethics your organization has.
Most of us are looking for guidance on one or two problems and can't pay for a whole course that is not pertinent to the specific problem.

I have read and seen many books, magazines and videos on training your dog properly. These methods were so easy to follow and they seemed to make sense to me. The instructor seemed to know what she was talking aboutI can hardly wait to try some of her training methods.Other instructors seem to go on and on and I quickly lose interest. The instructor got to the point and the training lesson was not continually interrupted by buy this and buy that.

I have just started to implement this training, both my dogs are super excited when I get home, both jump, both big dogs, both tail whip, both are over 5 years old, but they are starting to understand when I walk in I turn my back, they are both getting better, I have told everyone in my house hold to do this. Thank you for this super simple training. Next will be the reinforcements. Thank you again.

I enjoyed this video with K-9 training. The examples of dogs behavior and how to correct was valuable. The four sections explaining the theory was new and detailed.

The ideas, techniques and concepts were very interesting and gave me new ideas for working with my own dogs. I also found it very informaive. I would have given it a 5 if there had been a way to stop and replay portions of it.
