Overall, the company is viewed favorably for its informative content and supportive approach, yet it may benefit from exploring more accessible pricing options to enhance customer satisfaction.

I had just brought my new puppy home when I happened upon your "free
Dog training workshop". I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I especially
Liked the operant conditioning segment that showed the four ways to
Communicate with your dog. My only problem with the workshop video was
That I wanted to scroll back and review something and I was unable to.
I have a 9 month old GSD who is in dire need of calming down and taking instruction. I have high hopes this program will give me and her the relationship we need. I am totally new to dog training and 74 years of age I need a calm dog. I have just started her training and I know that it will not be an overnight project, but this course gives me the tools and support I need to accomplish this task. Thank you for making these service dog training lessons available to all of us who need them.
The introductory free masterclass was full of great information on explaining the philosophy of K9TI training. If it wasn't for severe financial difficulties at this time I would have jumped on this immediately. Even though Bonnie exhibits a couple of these behaviors, she is the prima donna of escape artists. My biggest issue is she getting out when the front door is open. Thank you for the masterclass. I did enjoy it! Jo
Id love to use the K9 training institute. I already hired an in-person trainer for board and train so we are paying for that 1st. If the discount comes around again from K9 we will have to hop on it.
The tips that were provided in this class cut through the b. S. and achieved almost instantaneous results. Would be comfortable using these techniques with all dogs.
Loved the video. Don't like the hard sell tactics. Just want to know the best price.
My experience is very challenging but I have to stay on course
This short piece will give you the basics like eye contact, hand gestures, and assigning jobs. It helped me understand the meaning of a job to do Like going and lying down in specific place as a job...
I was think carringqomething...
This has parts I have used for years but it makes those parts more effective.
I watched only the intro and am testing 2 techniques with a strong focus on body language. When Rusty barks at outside activities he is now invited outside. He no longer has the opportunity to go on the screened in porch as that did not diminish the barking. Now, I use body language and invite him to go outside by going outside myself and closing the backdoor if he doesn't move toward the door quickly. I open the door and let him out. I may or may not stay out with him. He can bark all he wants outside. And, I'm trying the leash technique changing direction when he pulls on the leash. We practice about 10-15 minutes at most. On day 4 we were able to walk to the end of the driveway -about 70 feet. He walked at my side without tugging. He kept checking on me! Sweet. I want to master these techniques and then move to other techniques.
I loved it and its helping me training me puppy so much easier. With this book I'm learning so much.
Love this method of teaching! Working on the not jumping and greeting portion with our pup. And will try the doorbell situation as well. Very helpful :)
Very informative and helpful. I started using the no eye contact and my body motions to keep them from jumping up.
This free workshop is amazing! Zecari just turned 4 mos old and is part Husky mix and part lab mix!( Labsky). She is so hungry to learn and keep busy! She has learned about her new jobs! She is a quick study and needs to be kept busy! I am extremely pleased with the workshop! I missed being able to take advantage of the Master Class by 5 days! ( fixed income). I hope there will be another sale sometime soon! I would recommend this workshop to anyone with a dog, young or old! I am training my dog the basics with this workshop as she will be my replacement service dog once her enrollment into advanced training is completed next year. Thank you K9 training institute!
Awesome! This is a comprehensive well thought out training program. I'm very excited to continue!
The instructions are simple and easy to following allowing you to get less frustrated with your pup. Well laid out and informative of why and how to do each exercise
The free training video was very helpful. I'm already making progress with Bentley. I wish I could afford to take the full training course as I'm sure it would be even more beneficial.
By following the workshop we have seen immediate response from our puppy Excellent
I watched the free training seminar which is like a mini taste of the actual training course. I really enjoyed it and found it to be very informational. I have practiced a few things with my puppy and it has been helping. I plan on doing the masterclass.
The training is a straight forward technique. I am amazed of the way dogs learn. I would love for my puppy to be as obedient as a service dog.
Bronson unexpectedly came to me as a rescue dog from a high kill shelter in California. Little/nothing was known about his past. He is a very kind dog with possibly no knowledge of English language (possibly Mexican or German?). I had a bad fall and had very limited mobility for a number of months. Then moved into another house with a roommate who also had 2 dogs. Bronson was yahoo party time! Needed to bring him down a notch and the training is working very successfully!
