K9 training video
July 3, 2025

Having two Goldendoodles, I have read and observed many dog training tips. I have also attended a dog training program with the larger dog. My smaller dog has always had issues with meeting people. She gets very excited and jumps. Otherwise, I consider her well trained. I have yet to find a good solution for this issue. However, I did find the k9 video informative and helpful.

Copper is slowly but surely improving. But a good amount of his reactivity comes while being woken from a sleep

Excellent and Works
June 23, 2025

The free course was so informative and targeted exactly the issues I needed to hear about. No special equipment or e-collars required. It makes sense. I have been using it with my dogs now with much success. Looking forward to more after mastering what I have learned in this course.

I was searching for help, as a new dog mommy, and found this video, fairly easily. After watching it once, I was able to start that day with a more efficient training regimen, and it started working that day. Katie is well on her way to sitting when asked to every time, and we have begun puppy pad training as well. When I need further help, I plan to reach out to K9 Training Institute.

Quick response time
June 21, 2025

I am happy with them so far but haven't started the master class. I am excited to start it because I've always wanted a well-behaved dog like the service dogs.

Probably the best
June 21, 2025

The workshop is great. I know a professional trainer and she uses their method to train setvice dogs and highly recommends it. If it wasn't for me already studying positive training books, it would be worth the investment.

Hands and treats
June 20, 2025

It has been many years since I needed to train a young (and "damaged") dog from scratch. The Training Workshop really brought home the importance of eye contact and body language as well as treats.

Ladybug's doing so much better. Behaving, less barking, and understanding commands. I've even gotten her 2 brothers into the planning and training. All are doing very well.

The best online training session!
June 20, 2025

I found this free online training session to be very informative. I have taken my dog to trainers and I've read other books about dog training yet I was still surprised by tactics they had in here that I hadn't heard of. I actually had my dog scheduled with an obedience veterinarian. After watching this class. I canceled my session with the doctor because my dog was starting to improve immensely.

Mature dog training.
June 20, 2025

I watched the Three Step training video. One day later, my 9 year old dog was no longer pulling on her leash. Next, when someone came to the door, she was sniffing and licking them to death, I gave her a job... and the behavior stopped in just a couple of visitors. Last but no least, she would jump on everyone and beg for a treat anytime anyone was near the treat box. I started leaning into her jumps and looking away... a week later, no more issues! Thank you so much for sharing these instructions!

Video training
June 20, 2025

My biggest take away was to use physical gestures in training your dog. I did not realize that was the best way of training in addition to verbal communication. I have also been practicing the "walking next to me" techniques.
