Training for Lola
May 12, 2025

Online dog training literature is important to me because it's been ten years since I've had a puppy. I had two other dogs before Lola but now they crossed over. Any expert advice I could receive through your ebooks is well appreciated

Give it a Chance
May 12, 2025

Give it a chance, watch all the information you can to make a decision if it works for you. So, as they usually say in the videos, watch until the end.

Dixonmyboy
May 11, 2025

I have signed up for the class because of your marketing materials. Dixon is my first shelter dog, about 3 years old and I love him dearly. He has congenital heart disease and his life span is limited. He was abused and abandoned, but is truly loving of life and people. He is also very smart, I think.
I hope this class can help him stay calmer as I am terrified he will have a heart attack.
Wish us luck.

May 8, 2025

I have two dogs, one that climbs fences n one that likes to jump up on people when greeting them. I used the free tips n technique that you offered for dogs that jump up. It took just couple times of doing so, by the end of the day she was not jumping up on me n she still continues not to. I. In the process of working with my other dog that likes to escape the yard, but I feel confident that he to will stop his bad habit. Thank you so much for sharing great information n free thanks... 💞

Very Worthwhile
May 7, 2025

I actually have trained service dogs and screened the free training class to assess whether to recommend it to others. I'm happy to report that the Operant Conditioning method jives with the successful behavioral training used in the service dog organizations I've been associated with. It's simple, but not easy. It takes practice, but results come quickly with consistency. And it must be exercised by EVERYONE in the household who interacts with the dog in any way, or you'll unnecessarily confuse them. But this course is the real deal.

Understanding dog behavior is the first step in successful training. The training videos were informative and gave specific examples of how to train your dog in a few steps. These steps can easily be repeated a few minutes every day until your pup masters the command.

Enjoyed video lesson.
May 4, 2025

Because I've always walked service dog pups for their first 12-18 months before they. Go in for full training I wanted to bring my own puppy up the same way. The k9 9 theme is exactly what I was looking for ands their free initial video perfect and clear to follow.
