I've watched several of your. Preview on training and. Cooper is still having trouble
I was very impressed with the free training class and thought the rules were very helpful. The two rules of training I found to be most helpful was Rule #2-train your dog using body language. The other most helpful tip was give your dog a job. I was not at all familiar with that idea!
I am interested in the 6-step process your trainers use, as well! My Buddy needs to learn his social skills to properly behave around other dogs and also has a bad habit of leaving the yard!
I hope to be able to completely take the training.
I am learning so much! And so is my puppy! Hopefully I can do everything right so I will have a well behaved dog.
Excellent videos. A new outlook from twenty years ago. I recently adopted a young Malinois from the shelter. Had SAR dogs years ago. This guy has great potential but has a lot of things to unlearn.
I am picking up my new puppy on a few weeks. It's been 14 years since I have had a puppy. This tool is useful in reminding me of how to best train my new puppy, update in the latest techniques.
I am feeling confident in being Toby home and can't wait to start working with him.
My long term goal is for Toby to be a search and rescue dog
The instructions are insightful and show results from the first moment of practice. I never would have imagined that training a dog would be so anti-intuitive. I could have been fighting with my dog for years if I had not taken the time for this workshop. Truly, a gift for dogs and owners alike.
I watched a free online tutorial that showed the best training methods for your dog. These methods are not found on other places on the Internet. It taught me that you don't use treats all the time for all dog training like most of the other trainers are showing on the Internet.
My boy chance is a very smart dog didn't seem like he needed. A lot of help to learn he is a German Shepherd. But I did find some of the things that you provide are very useful.
K9 Training Institute is excellent and I am really satisfied.
If you are looking for training I suggest you to take here
I have gotten some very good and useful tips from you guys. Not all of them were useful for Ares because every dog is different. But I can tell that you guys are professionals. I myself know quite a bit about dogs and I can see that you guys know everything a man should know about a dog and animals in general. I am very satisfied with the service you provide. Thank you and keep up the good work. There are a lot of stupid people out there who should know this site and they will find out how much happiness a dog can be to the hole family.
I was extremely impressed with the free workshop! It was very thorough in its instructions, showing completely understandable techniques.
I was surprised it actually showed several great training tips for freeā¦
I've been working with dogs all my life, but the stuff I've learned has really taken my understanding of the way a dog thinks to a whole new level.
Training your pet is the only way to ensure an enriching relationship for both you and your dog. Not an option.
It's a busy world. So when I saw these emails in my box instead of deleting, like I normally do, I decided to open one up because anything to help communicate with my kids(dogs) helps and to my surprise they actually gave free advice - that works! And are not asking for subscription or donations except in a very tasteful way seriously turns me off when I open a email and it took a hour after their title says "free" and there was never anything free about it they want your card number the second you open it up but you folks are one of the very few that kept your word and actually don't beg for card number but you give great advice
Thank you so much from those of us who need advice but perhaps don't have the $$ or a card number - really thank you it's very refreshing!
HarvardK9 is the best. Our Standard Poodle 6 month puppy, Kirby is in the group class. The instructors are knowledgeable and wonderful! Lessons are excellent and follow a great training program! We love Laurie and the other instructors. We couldn't be more impressed with HarvardK9, its facility and its trainers and staff! We highly recommend HarvardK9!
I just love that there is an option to work on our training in our own time and space!
I loved it. I learned how to talk to jazzy without getting upset because he wasn't listening. I wasn't sure that this would be helpful and I have been struggling with my dog. He's slowly learning. Just have to keep at it so that he will be a good dog. Thanks for the help!
