COVID PUPPIES
February 11, 2023

We got Samson at the end of 2019, unfortunately he got very sick and we had to keep him away from other puppies so we had to put off obedience classes until after the first of the year...COVID hit so we did a one on one class with a local trainer. Not the same as training with a group. I also am a runner and as soon as he was old enough Samson became my running partner...I let him get into bad habits of setting the pace...(great trainer, right?) Long story short...I had an injury and now have problems with him just walking without pulling...I have used the tips from the starter video and am amazed at the progress we have made...also greeting people at the door. I am very impressed and motivated by the K9 Training Institute!

Thorough introduction via free workshop
February 10, 2023

I tuned into the free workshop, and found it to be well organized and very informative!
I liked the video/ visual examples as well as verbal instruction provided- and found it to be very relevant.
I would have preferred, however, to be able to control the video experience a bit more. I didn't know exactly how long it was (and had to stop the video a bit early as a result) and was not able to rewind or fast forward- this makes it hard to keep notes/ re-read information. However, I still found a lot of the experience to be applicable and useful for my training going forward. Would consider the masterclass- but want to follow up with their team to ensure it is a more flexible video experience before committing.

Free class.
February 10, 2023

The free video lesson was helpful with some of the bad behaviors my dog was experiencing. Most of the problem was my reactions to his behavior. Never knew my dog was controlling me! Would love to do the Master Class and learn more!

UPDATE
January 14, 2022

UPDATE, it took a whole day and after 2 calls and emails from both my email accounts, but I now have the master classes! Classes are amazing but they do need to work on the payment methods and financial department.

I just sent $297.00 via PayPal. Hard to spend but I want my puppy well trained. The site immediately said they "couldn't access my card" for some reason yet PAYPAL sent them my money! I received nothing! No email to my 2 emails.

Quick, Easy, and Effective
November 17, 2021

PInitially figured this free offer was like any other- not worth the time. But I found several very helpful tips that worked right away. I also did not mind the expected marketing for the paid training which was low key and didn't treat me like a "project." Eventually even paid for the training, which so far has been fantastic. There is nothing negative about K9 - only helpful and positive.
