The training is very good and gave ideas on dog training that I had not considered before.
Started to implement a job when people come over. Early success.
I have a 3 1/2 month old Chihauhau who is pretty feisty. I came across K9 Training and it's the best ever. I've already started working on my pup and I can't say enough about K9 Training. It's very hands on and I know I will have the best well behaved pup ever.
It was just like flicking a switch. Kota was well trained to hand signals and words before but teaching by the K9 method is a whole new world and it makes soooo much sense.
The free introductory K9 training video has given me hope that there's still hope for my dog and for me. I have a small, mixed breed Chijuajua and Whippet. This is the first time I've had a small dog and it's been challenging. I've always felt I was missing something in my training approach, but you don't know what you don't know. I believe hand signals and body language will be much more effective. I've already tried just a couple of hand sgnals and she's responding. I am looking forward to what the future holds.
K9 training really explains in detail how to train your pup. I watch the videos over and over to make sure I'm doing it right. Before I knew it my pup was catching on. Thank you K9
I have been struggling and so stressed because it seemed like no matter what I did, my almost one year old, half border collie half pointer, just could not keep focused through leash training. He did great around the house and those distractions. Outside he didn't even show any interest in treats or anything I tried. I even bought the high dollar treats he couldn't resist! He didn't care he just wanted to explore and chase everything. After one week of following this training, he's a totally different dog. I wish I would've found this sooner!
Have reviewed many sites and this seems to be the best for STRUCTURED learning and a methodical, reasonable approach.
I have completed the online masterclass and found it really informative. The transformations are incredible. I look forward to completing the longer course in the future.
Great training tips! Loved all the different solutions to any behavior.
I just got a little taste of this training program yet I thought it was very interesting and promising.
I have taken my 15 month old GSD to 4 different trainers since we got her at 5 months as a rescue in need of serious surgery. After spending over $4000 to save her leg and another $3500 in training, she was still the same unmanagable monster she was when we got her. I knew she wanted to be a good dog but didn't know how, and I didn't know how to reach her. I was at the end of my rope, had no more money for more trainers, so was going through dog training videos on Youtube, Facebook, Instagram - seeing if I could find anything that looked like they might work for her. K9 Training Institute is the only one that actually made sense for us. I have been making small bits of progress with her - finally - with info from K9 Training videos. I actually feel like there is hope for us. I wish I could afford their whole course, but she has drained us financially for now. But I am so happy for the tips in the free videos.
The training Technics are very helpful. I started using them on my dog and she is more responsive using their methods.
If you follow this guide it is easy peasy to train your dog not to bark. Basically the K9 Institute dies all the work.
I decided to foster a dog two months ago. Things were going great for a while, and then they weren't. I was stressed. I didn't want to return my dog to the shelter but we were not okay. He was running around the house trying to eat everything in sight and was becoming destructive. I've never had a dog before so I didn't know what to do. I found this free class and watched it three days ago. It helped me so much! It's like I have a different dog. I think my biggest takeaways were the operant conditioning. I needed to use more treats and I needed to use some negative reinforcement and ignoring too. The combination has been powerful. My other aha moment was that my dog needed a job. I made his new jobs to follow me around the house and wait while I do things and to sit on his bed and stay when he is told to. Before your video I would have felt like I was being mean to the dog by giving him so much structure. Now I understand that it makes him happier to have a job. I might be making it up, but I think he seems proud of himself. Thank you so much. Most free workshops hold back all the good stuff for paying members. This one was a game changer for me.
