New way of looking at training
April 20, 2025

I have had digs for many years. And I sure thought I knew what I was doing. But everything in your training really openned my eyes. It makes sense.
No scolding or getting upset. Just b good old bonding. Love it

Excellent programme
April 19, 2025

Our dog was pulling quite a lot after using the technique described in the video he stopped pulling after just 2 days. Very happy with the techniques for training. Even stopped talking to the dog and using just body language has helped transform his behaviour significantly Thank you

K9 Training is fantastic
April 18, 2025

I really like the K9 training s it is completely different from all the others that I have found online. It gives greater insights into dogs behaviour and relies less on verbal and more on non-verbal commands.

Buck's training
April 18, 2025

We purchased the K9 Institute Training when our dog was about 1. He is 2 now and is very obedient. He was also trained by a dog trainer that came to the house 1 time a week and he is now a service dog. We are so happy. Because of the class which we started when he was about 9 months his obedient portion of the training went very well and he was finished in no time and we were able to concentrate on his service dog training and real world experiences. With training out in the community. We could not ask for a better dog. Thank you for the training program at such a reasonable price.

Caught my attention!
April 17, 2025

I connected with the video because I have had no experience of dogs before and this training video just felt right and I learnt so much in such a short time - along with the opportunity to pay over three months and access at my own pace

I learned a lot by watching a free online dog training if you pay attention you can teach your dog or dogs when you watch a online dog training class I wish there were a lot more because some people doesn't have the money to get there dogs trained plus there is a lot of low income families that love their dogs but have to rehome them because they can't get their dogs trained it's to expensive thank you
