Happy Service Dog and Trainer
March 11, 2025

This workshop has been a life changer on how to work on specific things with my dog. He is a Medical Alert Service Dog but can be stubborn at times and this has helped me understand what I need to do with him a lot more.

Very informative
March 11, 2025

I like your program very much, unfortunately I am 73 yrs old and this is likely my last puppy, so I will not be training any more puppies. Thanks and good luck. Also US Tariff punishment on Canada is a factor.

Great help with German Shepherds
March 10, 2025

I have 2 German Shepherds (Ziva 4 and Magnum 5). I have had them in training since puppies. And they are great in public. They even go to a controlled daycare and play with 40 other dogs and no issues. On my street though, they feel like they own it. So I have been working with some of your techniques for reactive dogs. They are not aggressive, just reactive on our street. My Magnum is much better. Ziva still likes to bark if someone is very high energy, especially if they are wearing big dark glasses and a hat. She doesn't trust them.

Enjoyed the training tips video
March 10, 2025

Enjoyed the training tips video, I have started implementing some of the tips, Max already seems more responsive and is not the crazy full on puppy in a big dog body that he has been.
Thank you:-)

K-9 Service Dog Training
March 9, 2025

So far I love the K-9 Service Dog Training. I just got my puppy but I so far everything is going perfectly. It simplifies it so if you follow the homework daily, it is the best training I have ever done.

Raising Henry
March 8, 2025

My adult single daughter had an opportunity to get get a free puppy. A few days before she picked the pup up she broke her ankle and foot. I have always had dogs. My first husband was felt the way to train a dog was to put fear in them. He has passed and I didn't want to see my daughter go through a bad experience with her first dog that she picked out wants to train. I found your information online and I'm helping her and myself, learning to train a dog the right way.Because of her injury and me helping with her care, plus very bad weather(snow!), we are off to a slower start. Henry is potty trained, only took 10 days. I am very inspired to continue your training experiences with Henry and my daughter. Thank you!

Best advice thus far!
March 8, 2025

Having experience showing dogs and working in dog related fields such as being a vet technician,dog groomer,dog handler, and even worked for my city's animal care agency I personally have never had a better understanding and appreciation for K9 Training Institutions.
They are very professional,people friendly,making our pets and our professional fur buddies healthy again!
I personally fed a diet as to what they suggested for years and as proof of this around 4 years ago I was injured on the job and couldn't fed my dogs the way I was accustom to so I really had no clue as to what food to feed, lots of bag reading,
After reviewing K9s instructions my dog are happier,healthier and will live a longer lives
A huge thank you to K9 institution for making this possible

Your free three sample classes were great. In just three short days, we have seen a BIG change in Remi, a 4.5 year old Jack Russell/Whippet mix rescue. Still have to work with her, that is for sure. But my husband and I are impressed, with your course. And have already recommended your course to three other folks. I only wish we could complete your course with Remi. But we got her from a rescue group end of Dec. 2024. And that cost was $450 and my husband and I are both on Soc. Sec. And just do not have money available to complete the course, even at the generous discount you offered at the end of the sample lessons. I will continue to tell folks about your courses, though since I do believe they can help dog owners and their dogs.
