Our goal is to have a happy and well behaved pup, the videos got us started on a great path towards success for our new pup!

The free class with K9 Training Institute was a great reminder for me that dogs are looking for guidance from their owners. Understanding how their minds work, and that they are capable of things beyond our imagination, is what K9 Training can help owners with. K9 Training gives owners the "job" of training their dogs with the understanding of their capacity.

My puppy after a few attempts using hand signals responded to our first command. "Sit".

I found the video very useful and have found good results when tackling the same jumping issues. My new puppy certainly will benefit from service training as my puppy matures but there is no time like the present. I agree good habits can be implemented even at 7 weeks of age. Doctor, you have a great team

Some Highlights on Training
December 28, 2023

Very informative. I'm just grabbing a small amount of information, but have looked at my dogs differently already with their behavior issues.

I've taken my 1 1/2 yo sheepadoodle pup Belle to several training classes that were effective, but a back injury stopped my training in its tracks. While she retained much of the training there are a few things that still need work: Barking, pulling, and coming when called. I'm anxious to see how well we do with the K9 Training tips.

I always thought you could only use positive reinforcement, but I now known that's not true. I am so excited to use all the helpful information I have learned from the K9 institute!

Excellent
December 27, 2023

My husband and I retired in 2020 to AZ. We ended up adopting a little $#*!zu/poodle! The young couple just couldn't take care of her. She is wonderful. Yet I'd like to teach her how to be a better dog than she is! Problem, my husband has stage 4 cancer … we live off our SS only! I really wanted your program, but just decided it would be too much! Don't get me wrong, think it's a great program… and I'm sure worth every penny … we have already put $600 in her. She was never spayed and didn't have her shots. But we wanted to do what we could for her. Anyway. Sorry for the long story. I just wanted you to understand why I'm not getting the program. Keep up the great work.

Retraining myself
December 27, 2023

After watching the online workshop I've realized how many wrong things Ive done throughout the years that I have had different dogs. I was not sure about getting a new puppy because of my age. Now I know I will successfully retrain myself as I use this method to train my new puppy

Easy tips to train a dog
December 26, 2023

The tips that were given in this video were very helpful because they were easy to remember. My dogs jump on people, so I put a laminated note on the front door that provided instructions to whoever was going to come in. Because I have a puppy I don't have a dog bed, so I'm using an inexpensive rug at the door. I've had to put the dogs out in the garage when the front door bell rings so now it's time to make this training work.
