Gio the grandpup!
October 29, 2021

I can not say enough great things about K-9 training institute! What I have learned about working with my grandpup is amazing! He is a 6 month old German Shepard weighing 65-75 pounds! He is a big puppy and very powerful! Everything I have been taught in a week so far is amazing, he had been jumping on me and nipping at my arms so I looked like I have been in a terrible fight! Now is much calmer when I speak to him! He is so loving which I did not think would happen unless he was in K-9 boot camp! He has already taken canine training which really did nothing because he already new how to sit, stay, down, shake and heal! Now with just a couple of K-9 training lessons he is like a different puppy, so Thank you so much for your help and support in teaching me with my grandpup to obey commands!

Informative
October 28, 2021

Usually, masterclasses don't give you much information, but I was surprised when there were actual examples/strategies for some of the issues most dog owners have.

K-9 behavior training

This free training was well explained and examples were given. The video is repeated to help retain the information. Because I liked it, I forwarded the training sight to others.

Training for Success
October 28, 2021

Koko always tries to nibble at our shoe laces. We continue walking by her but she's keeps nipping sometimes tripping up the kids as they try to walk away. We try to keep the kids walking but its difficult when she's on top of their laces. If they say off and keep walking Koko keeps trying to get at their laces. After a few days it seems she not as focused on the laces, but its' still pretty tough for the kids.
Our walking with a leash is much better. Now that I don't allow her to continue pulling me in the direction we are walking, but turning around and heading in the opposite direction. This is working better for us and it was reinforced when we went to the dog park and I saw other pet owners scolding their pet to heel and tugging the leash with no change in their pets behavior. Great start for us

More Great Dog ‘Tools'

I have some behaviour holes to fill with my dog such as barking and rushing the door. I'm looking forward to applying some things I learned to help with her bad manners.

Having not raised a dog in over 20 years, raising my rescue puppy has been a fairly daunting task. However, even putting in a few small training sessions has made this task much more achievable and even fun! I'm looking forward to year's and years of a great relationship with my dog!
