A NEW PUPPY
December 1, 2025

Every time I look at your training section I see exactly what I have been grappling with as we train our new puppy, Feta! She's a white female, our first, German Shepherd and she's so sweet! Our black, GS, Diesel, crossed the rainbow bridge suddenly in August. He was only 4 years old. Feta is 3 months old so y'all know what we're dealing with! I count on K9 Training to help us out every step of the way. Easy to follow instructions. Just need bucketfuls of patience! Thanks K9 Trainer!

My big loveable friend Molly
November 28, 2025

Molly is a 5 year old Great Pyrenees weighting over a hundred pounds with a mind of her own and. That being said let me bring you up to date on her training so far. We are working with the Masters class and have come through the first couple of weeks and (more). She is doing very well. Although with the 10 week class, this could take a little bit longer than some other dogs. But as of today we are very happy with the program and look forward to completion. The video programs are very helpful and make the course that much easier to follow. Let me finish with anyone having a Pyrenees or reading about them they will know they have their own mind and she is a challenge, but we are working through the program and happy to date. Great program and Eric is very good.

Video on working with my puppy
November 15, 2025

Loved the video. Our new rescued puppy came to us and few weeks ago. Will start her training as per your video. We hope to have the qualities of a service dog even though she'll just be our well loved dog. Thank you.

It works and its easier than expected
October 29, 2025

I tried the training and it worked within 2 times of my dogs hearing the Ring go off (no one knocks on our door so when they hear the jingle, they go barking and crying).

Great start
October 29, 2025

I did enjoy the free training information. I did get some helpful hints that I had never thought of. Overall, the price for the full training session does not seem bad.

Dog trainining
October 26, 2025

It was very helpful to see the reasons behind the four quadrants and how to use them. It gives me a better sense on how to train Ginger properly and not encourage bad habits.
