Personable and friendly
June 12, 2021

We watched the online workshop and liked what we saw and are eager to try the techniques out with our new puppy. My son would like to have him qualify as an emotional support dog and this seems like the best course for us all to take. They have emailed me with info each day since we watched and have made us feel like they are willing and ready to help us along the way.

Impressive curriculum
July 12, 2021

We thought the workshop showed impressive results in the several examples they described. The results were almost too good to be true. We are still considering purchasing the full class. We would be ecstatic if our dog responded anything close to what we saw in the workshop!

Traing
June 12, 2021

I have been training my dogs to stay by watching your video. I am trying to train my husband to not pick up his furbaby when she barks. He can love on her once she stops. Lol. Love your tips!

Service dog training
June 11, 2021

I have been reviewing the emails for about 2 weeks from K9
Blue is a 2 year old Havanese and is a certified service dog
He and I spent 6 month training 5-6 days a week 1 hr in class and 1 hr at home each day
His training is ongoing (as it is with all service dogs)
The suggestions in the K9 emails are very good and have served as a reinforcement to Blue's training
They have also provided additional training methods to improve Blue's behavior and my training techniques

Review of Masterclass Advertising
July 11, 2021

I am sorry to tell you, watching it was a complete waste of my time. I suppose, I could have known - that is what free webinars are usually all about. I am a trainer myself, and I do happen to train service dogs - that's what got me interested in the offer - I wanted to see whether it was something worth watching (if other people post good, interesting webinars, I do recommend them).
Well, your webinar is a big advertising campaign, no valuable training tips - and quite frankly not suitable for my clients, I teach with more modern methods. Thus, a big disappointment.

Hello Anja - it's clear from the review that you are a competitor. Isn't it bad form to post negative online reviews regarding competitors in this manner?

In addition, what you have claimed (that our free workshop is a "big advertising campaign") is false. The hundreds of positive reviews that we have received so far on Sitejabber from dog owners who have solved some of their dogs' behavioral problems (excessive barking, pulling on leash, jumping, etc.) using the free workshop is proof of this.

Last, as Sitejabber noted, we reached out to you regarding your review, but haven't yet received any response from you.

Good so far!
June 10, 2021

The free promotional video contains very useful information. I watched it twice and decided to order the master transformation class which seems very promising. It is annoying to agree to purchase one thing and then have other expensive products promoted even at a discount!

John's thoughts
June 10, 2021

I thought the ideas were will thought out. I have trained several dogs and your ideas got my attention. Some I do, believe. It drives me nuts to see a dog dragging his person down the street, hearing come, come, come,... Sheb was running across the lake two three hundred feet from us. I was concerned, called and signalled Down. He hit the snow and stopped. Billy said Christ John, you'd think you had a leash on him. I looked at him and said, I do. I like your ADHD comparison. Good point. Good way to make a point.
Oh, Juno isn't born, isn't conceived yet. I've been dog less for a while and have recently found a line of dogs I'd like to have. Just waiting for the $#*! to come to heat.

Great free content
June 8, 2021

I have a new puppy now 10wks old and found the tips on barking when someone comes to the door and jumping up excellent.
Unfortunately due to Covid, loosing my job and also recently having a fall and broke my wrist I cannot afford to buy the program. I would very much appreciate more free tips though if possible for people in my position through no fault of our own!
