Our dog is a barker, and struggles with social interaction with other dogs when he's on a leash. Seriously considering this course to work on changing those behaviors.
Was having problems understanding my pet ways and behavior. I'm learning patience and alternatives. Try K9 training the best. Cardi my pet and I are much happier. Thank you K9 training
The video clips have been very informative and the advice has been easy to follow with clear instructions.
Panthea has come a long way. She knows her commands and she has sit and stay and stay with me and not against me.
I like the tips they shared and will be using them with my dogs from now on.
Thank you. I have found the free tips very helpful and it helps to understand my dogs better
Just in the introductory training, there is so much valuable information about how to train your dog to behave as calm as a service dog. For example, I never knew that a service dog considers it his job to lie down while waiting for his owner to give the next command. I observed a German Shepherd service dog at the grocery store and he was lying down calmly while his owner was looking in the meat department.
Thank you so much for what we have already learned! We are putting it into practice and it is working already! We have two Yorkies that are a sweet as can be but have a mind of their own!
I really appreciated the information in this video. I am a very nervous first puppy owner and this gave me more confidence to be able to handle the little critter!
I wanted to be able to learn to train my dog correctly from the start. I feel like this resource is giving the knowledge it requires to get a good start and all I need to do is listen, learn and work hard. I like the one step at a time process.
The training was very helpful and insiteful. I feel like the information i gained will be very useful with training my puppy
Gave me lots to think about and I've already implemented what they suggested. My dog's a puppy. Good to get it early.
Watched the two and use one on jimping myself but the bark doesn't work well with my wifes terrier at all. That breed seems to have the barking inbred.
My first Terrier for wife my last also.
No reply to phone or e-mail messages.
I would love to take the course, but timing not good for me now.
Great information and well put together. I will have to try this program after the holidays
I tried many of the suggestions, some my pup took to straight away, others she took a little while with lots of repetitions. We're working on her barking at the lawn mower and vacuum cleaner using the ‘look after your bed' suggestion as used for barking when someone comes to the door. I'm having difficulty getting her to understand that her bed needs looking after / that's her job while I vacuum. But the suggestion sounds reasonable so we're working on it.
The suggestions are clearly written, in common sense language.
Soon I'm sure my little girl will be the perfect pup! Thanks
Training our new puppy utilizing the daily exercises is very effective. Our little guy is so smart and such a joy to work with.
Still debating on purchase. But I am pleased with previous customer reviews
I learned a great deal about training my dog through this mini-course. For example, I learned 1; operant conditioning (positive and negative reinforcement) 2; body language (using your eyes and gestures as directions for your dog to follow and 3; ADHD (all dogs need a job to do). I learned how to teach walk my dog on a leash, how to keep my dog from jumping on myself and others, how to keep my dog from barking, how to get my dog to stay down until I tell him to get up, etc. I learned many necessary details to help train my dog.
