Great free workshop! Inspired me to get the 10 week course. Brand new puppy. Not yet 8 weeks old. Weaned too soon I think & runt of the litter. I need the training so I can train Lucy. I'll stay on each course as long as it takes. We're working on "watch". Thank you K9ti :)
Excellent information and we're so excited to get more training. Our puppy is a handful and he's already responding to the training tips! Thank you!
Unfortunately i fear doing it wrong and messing my pup up. My fear, lack of confidence in myself doing it right, will not help my pup get the correct training I think you have to have a lot of self confidence to train a dog so i will reach out to a professional
There was the question of how to access my accout. After several emails and hoop jumping, it has been resolved. Everyone was courteous and understanding.
I contacted you fir help with Lucy having severe diarrhea.
Your help and advise was just what nerviius new dog people need.
Your empathy was greatly appreciated iated
I throughly enjoyed the free class. It explain concepts well. It gave me great tips to help my dog stay calm when people ring the doorbell or knock on the door. Giving my dog a job! Wish I knew this sooner. Great tips. The master class would be great.
I wrote a Facebook post but I'll say it again here. The preliminary video was excellent -- clear, insightful and confidence-boosting for any new dog owner. The technique seemed intuitive and I felt I could trust the speaker on good authority.
Great introduction to K9 training. Josie was unnerved the entire time at the facility. Carefully reviewing options for Josie meant that her needs were not compatible with the offering.
I use one of your techniques that you showed on just one of your clips and I taught my puppy how to go and lay down when I raised my flyswatter up I didn't have to swat her or anything I didn't have to do nothing All I done was raised it up and she would go lay down So I guess gestures are better than talking. Thanks
Not sure where the ad ran but glad I clicked on it. Seminar was very professional and informative with actionable and easy to understand examples and instructions. Excited to try it out. Tempted to accept the offer for the full class but I have a follow through problem that I need to work on so I'll try the advice from the seminar first. Thank you K9TI for putting this together.
So far we have had 1 in person training with Blake, and many emails and suggestions which have been very helpful. Just like every dog owner I probably feel that what my dog is doing is a little different, but she is a Husky mix, and howls like crazy when there are other dogs around. She gets so excited when walking, so the suggestions from the Master class are great and I will try and incorporate them.
I highly recommend Blake and his raining program, and he was recommended to me from someone else that had an amazing turnaround with her dog.
I really like the training videos and especially the convenience of being able to see them online and to watch them as often as I need to refresh my memory and ensure I'm doing the training as taught. Thank you for these. I highly recommend this course.
I appreciated the info from the workshop. Unlike a lot of free seminars, that only push a product, this workshop provided good and useful information.
The course was very informative. I don't have the budget for the master class, but look forward to receiving the dog training book.
Thanks!

Listened to the free seminar and implemented the three suggestions with our 14 weeks old foster puppy. We have seen immediate improvement in his progress. Definitely recommend K9 Training Institute and their calm, kind, positive training style.
While looking online for dog training information I came across K9 Training Institute and decided to check it out. I was able to check it out without any obligations. I found the material to be very professionally put together and informative. I found it be different than other classes I have been involved in in the past. While I haven't yet signed up for the course I am considering doing so. I've taken a previous puppy to classes in person but not online. I feel from what I've seen so far K9 Training Institute offers valuable information for someone wanting to train their dog.
We had the opportunity to try a couple of the things we saw in the video with our border collie, Flame. Specifically, the tugging on the leash and the jumping up on people. It's been four days since we started implementing them, and we are already seeing improvement. I only wish that there was a lower payment option so we could attend the actual master classes. After Christmas, we are strapped for cash, and making three monthly payments of the $99 was outside our budget, so we lost out on the promotion you had going. We are praying for another opportunity with a discount after we have time to save.
Great workshop giving insight into their overall training methods for service dogs. Worth checking out. You'll even learn a few things!
Just started training videos. They were easy to understand and implement the training immediately.the videos not only give you step by step instructions but also provides the rational behind the training for dog owners to understand dog behavior which reinforces the training aspect. Best birthday gift ever. My dog Parker and future adopted dog Daisy and myself appreciate this gift. A calm doggy home makes a happy home. 🙏
My dog Jaxie is 10 months old. We rescued her from a shelter at the age of 6 months. She is a black lab mix and is very overactive when I come home from work. She basically malles me for minutes greeting me. I applied your technique ( of negative reinforcement I believe?) by not reacting to her but walking by, turning my back quietly, and waiting until she sat and showed the appropriate calm behavior and it was like a miracle! THank you so much, only two days in and she is a different dog I appreciate your help SO MUCH!
