Came just in time
June 17, 2021

We just got a new four year old dog at a rescue, the only kind we ever get. It has been a year and a half without a dog, not usual for me. I am also over seventy years old and noticed our new dog, Boots, was not easy to handle. It was obvious she had had a hard four years, she was very smart and very different than the other dogs I had in my life. Anyhow I did learn some stuff on the free video but what I learned most was how individual each dog is and when you figure out what is in the head or your new pack member it becomes a lot easier to know what to do. Body language is the best way. Always talking or giving orders or what ever is like a mother nagging her kid all the time. Just use your body and your minds vibration to reach your new pack mate, good.

So Helpful
June 17, 2021

I have found the tips to be very helpful in training an old dog new behaviours. My dog is 10 yrs. Old and I am finding the old saying "you can't teach old dogs new tricks" to not apply with the recommendations given by the K9 training institute. I would highly recommend them and their courses.

Great Dog Training Tips
June 16, 2021

I thought the free online training class was great. My husband and I are on dogs #4 & #5 but training is hard and the tips provided are great. We are considering buying the the Masterclass material since it's cheaper than taking 2 puppies to training.

Thanks much!

Dog training that works fast
June 16, 2021

The dog training tips work not only very well but also fast. The results are brilliant and my dog loves the training sessions. The tips are easy to follow and easy to work through. I had a professional trainer work with my dog and I for my previous dog. The results took much longer and also took greater effort on behalf of all of us. If you have a dog, use this method. You and your dog will both be so grateful.

Training made Simple.
June 14, 2021

Had dogs all my life. Don't know anything about training. Got a Golden Doodle puppy a year ago March. He's now 75lbs. And he's always excited about going for a walk. Tried every collar out there to stop him from dragging me down the street. With your simple method of turning him around and in the direction of home he automatically stopped. Of course we went through this a few times but it was the really first enjoyable walk. Thx!

BEST! BEST! BEST!
June 13, 2021

The K9 Institute is... yes, you guessed it - THE BEST!
I have a Schnoodle who is mostly Schnauzer - a real barker. I've started the training and am confident that I can get a calm dog. He loses it when anyone comes over or just rings the doorbell.
I know the calm is coming because of the professionalism of the trainers and the step-by-step course!

Very informative intro
June 13, 2021

I very much enjoyed the intro to the K9 Dog Institute and I'm looking forward to the lessons which I will soon be a part of. I love the fact that they have a guarantee although I'm confident and hopeful that we will get so much from the classes that there will be no need to activate it.
