Great information for tips and tricks to make life for me and my dog easier. Easy to understand and follow
The tips in the video are already helping us help Cowboy become a better dog. Easy to follow and implement.
Chance also had an awful bark when people came over to visit and the turning your back and giving him something to do works so good like you said. It was absolutely unbelievable! Can't wait to try some other methods. Signed Alfred Adams
Our 18th month old gsd we rescued 1 week ago spent 8 months in the kennels with no previous training. We are taking it slow and have to go back to puppy stage with him. These tips are really helpfull and makes the training process more fun and with a fulfilling outcome, definitely quality over quantity.
I recently participated in an online dog obedience training workshop, and I can't say enough about how incredible it was. The transformation in the dogs was nothing short of amazing—honestly, I was blown away by how quickly they responded to the training. What made it even more wonderful was the approach: no force, no harsh methods, just a deep understanding of canine physiology that worked absolute miracles. It's like the trainers unlocked a secret code to communicate with dogs in a way that's natural and stress-free for them. The results spoke for themselves—happy, obedient pups without a single heavy-handed tactic. I'd recommend this workshop to every dog owner out there; it's a game-changer that proves you don't need anything but knowledge and patience to bring out the best in your furry friend.
Great information before bringing home my 8 week old puppy. Provided all the basic training information including crate, potty and obedience.
There was great information imparted efficiently and clearly. The use of verbal and video to show the examples was very good. I love the content and will be purchasing the full program soon
The video was very helpful showing how to handle a jumpy dog and giving pups a job to do. I plan on furthering her training and appreciate the helpful tips in emails.
I'm just getting started, but I already know from watching the initial intro video that it will be successful in training my new puppy. My puppy is only 5 weeks old so trying to be ready for when we can take her home.
I've watched the initial video and applied the training ideas with my dogs. They really work. Looking forward to more tips to help me.
Easy to understand and implement training for my dog Rylee! Very excited to continue the journey with the full set of courses! Thank you so much.
I don't yet have any experience with the paid program but what they have sent me with just free content has been extremely useful in training my dog. I hope to join the paid program soon so that I can benefit from the teachings they provide.
I watched the free workshop and even though there was still so much more the K9 institute had to teach me, the foundation alone they shared with me was able to help me train out some of the most problem behaviors im having with a dog I just took in for my sister. I wasn't sure I could keep him before I watched the video but the information I learned was so helpful that now I know I can. In just a few days he stopped jumping up on people and isn't pulling on his leash, not to mention the progress he's making simply by using the 4 quadrant training they teach in their free workshop. It's definitely worth watching. If I wasn't a single mother living on disability I would have paid for the extra training information in a heartbeat. It's got a be a gold mine of information any dog owner is lucky to have. Thanks so much K9 training institute!
Jasmine is only 7wks old and is already loving going into her crate on her own. She's a very smart dog and we made it thru a whole night with out accidents and sleeping very well thru the night.
K9 Institute uses various "teaching methods" to enable me to fully understand the what-to-do, why, and how, when I'm training my dogs. I'm extremely hard of hearing myself but the videos clarify anything I might miss in the dialogs. Training methods are easily followed and applied so all 6 of my Border Collies are benefiting.
I found the information helpful and as a first time dog owner not long ago have found the examples and suggestions absolutely fabulous I would recommend everyone to subscribe. Thank you again Vivien, Xena and P2 (our two whippets)
Learned a few tricks to get dog to obey and not jump
The DIY dog training class expanded my understanding of training strategies, what's best to achieve the greatest success.
We have a 1 1/2 year old golden doodle. He does good about 90% of the time we are just working on the last 10%. We used a couple of the techniques yesterday at the park. He did great it just the 9 o'clock energy burst before bedtime. Still a work in progress. Thanks
