Great Training Video
June 29, 2021

Easy to understand so I can get the maximum results without a lot of repetition like many training programs have. I will be enrolling now as we have a 8 week old Golden Retriever puppy that we will be training as a service animal for my husband with Parkinson's. Looking forward to learning all for a happy, healthy dog.

Great insight!
June 29, 2021

I enjoyed the free Masterclass and picked up a lot of great information and ideas to move forward with training. Yesterday I started to do things differently both in the home and out on walks, already there has been a shift in behaviour and our relationship. I'm definitely tempted to sign up for the training to see just how far we can grow.

Dog Training
June 29, 2021

I have a naughty 31/2 year old Kelpie named Marley. She is a Rescue Dog. I was told when I got her she was 2 years old. I found out later she was 8 months old and came direct from a sheep farm. All this time it was very difficult to train her. I learned a lot how to handle her watching your video. Thank you

Excellent training program!
June 29, 2021

This program feels like it works WITH the animals, rather than OVER them. I have yet to meet an animal that speaks human language, and this training takes that into full account. Wonderful!

Found the tips useful, although knew some already. Just found the catch phrases a bit irritating due to constant repetition. But certainly found the sense in the methods

Good presentation. A bit heavy on the sales pitch but good information on behavior training. The program is really pricey for my budget but I'll see if I can manage it.

I enjoyed the information that is contained in this training. This training seems to still leave room for individual uniqueness for both the K9 and the trainer. Much Respect and thank you.

Great Help!
June 28, 2021

I would tell other that this program is informative and has answered questions I've had. It's nice that I've been able to use this program to help my puppy become be a grade A puppy. Covid has really made things difficult. Having an informative program such as this is hard to find at such a low cost. Those that need help should give it a try!

Free dog training tips
June 28, 2021

I watched a few of the free short videos offered on training your pup. I found them extremely helpful and easy to implement. Using body language and non verbal cues is different than most "training " techniques offered by most dog trainers. It works and only takes a few minutes daily! Very helpful, thank you!

K9 training makes sense
June 28, 2021

The K9 techniques really make sense and are geared to how a dog perceives us. I had instant improvement using their method for preventing my miniature poodle jumping up. We are working on hand and body signals and she is certainly paying more attention to me than when I just my voice

Training a rebel pup
June 27, 2021

I have a 9 mth old beagle and am finding it difficult to train him, I have never had a problem with other dogs. I found that the refusal of treats is working, eg if he jumps up; no pats and no verbal interaction. Unfortunately I am unable to afford the training fees, I am in Australia and the cost is outside my budget. I would definitely join otherwise.
