A Great Beginning
May 25, 2025

I watched K9's basic video and was quite impressed with their knowledge. I look forward to hopefully soon be able to take their Master Training Course so that I can train my Scottish Terrier to be my next Service Dog. I lost my last Service dog at age 14 so I'm preparing to start all over again. I will turn 88 in July and just hope that I have a few years left to enjoy taking a few trips again.

Stop barking at the door
May 24, 2025

She stops barking at the light at the bottom of the door, especially at night. Before, she would sit at the door and wait for a light in the hallway to bark. We waited at the door for the light to come on and when she did not bark, we gave her a treat.,

This was a fantastic workshop, especially for free. I was able to implement some of the things I learned right away. It would only be better if you could pause it.

Perfect method for my dogs
May 23, 2025

Starting with the free training first two month ago it convinced me to buy the masterclass training for my first dog. It included as an extra kennel and potty training for puppies. My new puppy is already trained with this method. I am very happy with the results for both dogs.

Think outside of the box
May 22, 2025

I watched the video and was truly impressed. I am trying out a few of the tips with my rescue "Moana".
We are practicing eye contact, body language and teach her how to stop pulling. She is a 2–3-year-old Labrador-Hound mix, nose always on the ground sniffing. It would be naive to think thank success will be there right away. These are great lessons, and I will probably buy the program. Hopefully the will be another discount coming soon because a one day time to make a buying decision is way to short for me.

Unruly puppy, your tips have been helpful. He's still a work in progress, training course too expensive. Your free information is so well-educated and owner friendly.

Rox review
May 17, 2025

Great training tips but a bit too pushy on the after sales. I appreciated the psychology behind the training. I was happy to get the take away tips on not jumping or reacting at the door. I will definitely use the "they have to have a job" to modify behavior in the future.

However, being on a fixed income with the economy the way it is now, I was disappointed that I can't afford it. Everything they sent me via email made sense and looked like a great training.

I am planning to enroll, but I've heard very good things about your program from others. I just got a new rescue pop and I'm hoping to get started after he settles in a bit.

Way Too Expensive
May 15, 2025

I listened to the info, but i cannot afford to join the class, but im sure is would be worth every penny. I am on a fixed income and 200 or 500 extra dollars is not in my budget.

Very happy
May 15, 2025

I'm just starting with k-9 training and I'm finding it easy to understand and very helpful. I'm looking forward to working with my puppy on her little potty mistakes or maybe it's my mistake for not catching her cue.

Best training exercises by far
May 14, 2025

Everything makes total sense now I've been applying the training techniques from the k9 instute on my German shepherd like using body language more than me repeating and yelling at my dog and giving her tasks a job to do, and even socializing with other dogs
