Looks like a great program
June 26, 2021

From the lessons I've seen, this looks like a great program. I would absolutely get it myself but I'm in Australia and the currency difference is huge even with the discount, so I can't afford it. This is the type of program that I had been looking for. If you are serious about training your dog the best way - the body language way - then sign up for this course.

Free dog training workshop
June 25, 2021

Your free dog training workshop was great, thank you! I particularly liked the 3 main tips that you gave us, which give me a lot of guidance in what to do with my puppy straight away.

Best darn dogs

Enjoying the training and having 3 of different ages is a challenge but hopefully I can refer back to the emails and go over with each one separately

The free lesson offered by the K9 institute helped us tremendously with our dog (Rhodesian Ridgeback, ~105 pounds) pulling on the leash. He pulls a lot less and with more time, I'm sure he will stop pulling altogether.

The prerecorded online dog training looks good but I have not enrolled yet. The USD $297 converted to my currency seem alot to me.

Enjoyable and Useful
June 24, 2021

I very much appreciate the free tips you have given and my 1 year old border collie has certainly benefitted from my new knowledge.
My only wish is that I could afford, even at the reduced rate, to access your full training course.

Help with Blue
July 22, 2021

Im a thin 64 year old who got a puppy to help with ptsd and panic attacks. Hes been wonderful for the past 15 months yet unwalkable due to being over 70lbs now compared to my 107lbs. The few videos that preceded the offer for the master class have helped somewhat and i would recomend anyone who can afford it to take the class... if i could afford to im sure i would end up with the most amazing dog ever... this really works!

Seems to be promissing
June 22, 2021

After the first free lesson, I decided to purchase the program. Hopefully, the basic program offered to me for the discounted rate will help me to train my dog.

Hello Gabriel - we appreciate your posting the review; however, we don't have any customers named Gabriel Mangan. In fact, as of today, we don't have any customers in Spain because we have not yet promoted our website in Spain. So this seems to be a review meant for a different website? Thank you.

Wow
June 20, 2021

I am so pleased I discovered this free dog training workshop through K9 Training Institute. We have a new Australian Kelpie puppy and training techniques outlined in the workshop have given me a new perspective on training my dog. She is only 10 weeks old and learning manners very quickly. Thank you for the amazing dog training strategies, we are having great successes.

K9 Training Institute
June 19, 2021

I have a new puppy that I believe is totally hyperactive but I have watched this video and am just about convinced that signing up for this course just might be what her and I both need to work together to understand each other. I understand that I need to give approximately 15 minutes a day to this training and I am willing to give that and more to make her a great dog. I have a senior dog also here at home who is terrorized by this new puppy which is causing her to now act out and hoping that maybe this course will help her too. Please let me also add that I think the presentation given by the institute has impressed me and just about sold me on signing up for this course. I can't go wrong and if all goes the way it is supposed to, I have everything to gain from this experience for myself and my furbabies. Thanks for a great presentation.

I found the videos very helpful and can hardly wait to get going on the full series. We have two toy Pomeranians and they have a mind of their own. I am anxious to put the videos to work!
