I've been looking for help with integrating my puppy with my 2 older dogs and came across this free training intro for their master course. I've seen 'free training' intros before but can assure you they just kept talking about what they will give you if you pay, and don't even outline what their courses entail!
This intro gave very useful tips and tricks, fully outlined the course and showed you actual client dogs in training to see the results - just excellent! The course, while it looks worth every penny, is a bit too much for me just now, but if you can spare the cash I would bet it's worth it!

So far I have only watched the videos and read the hints that K9 is so willing to share. Both of these things have lead me to change the way I approach training my dog.
Tucker is a rescue dog that comes with a ton of issues but, with the help of K9, I have come to realize that none of these issues are insurmountable.
I am confident that, with following their guidance, I will soon have a dog who's personality shines.

I thought the free workshop had valuable insight on dog behaviour and training information. The information was clear and loved the incorporation of videos to show examples of before and after behaviour. I also liked how they outlined what you would be learning in the masterclass. They definitely have an ace up their sleeve if they are providing training advice from a service dog perspective. I think a must for all puppy owners and any dog who hasn't been able to control their emotions!

Wonderful
October 9, 2021

My puppy is 2 months old and she has stopped jumping on me when I give her praise. I understand now that body language works better than scolding; she craves my attention so that was a huge plus.

K9TI Workshop
October 9, 2021

Found the concepts discussed in this workshop to be quite different than previous training we have done, but fairly easy to try to implement. On my own I had been using the "Bed" command whenever anyone knocks at the door, have seen small improvement but still have a away to go. I will be implementing these small tweaks right away. Enjoyed discovering this company and their way of training. Look forward to learning more with K9TI.

Helpful dog training tips

Giving the dog a job to do was a helpful reminder, and it worked as a distraction. Thanks

I don't have any experience, but I carefully read & research this site. I don't have the monies, I'm a senior on a fixed income. I was just notified by my landlord I can't have socks! Meanwhile tenants here have 1 or 2 dogs. I cried... who's gonna tuck him in at nights? I've had socks for 2 months, nothing was ever said. You all are great! I thank you for taking the time reading this.
Sincerely

Never Too Old To Learn
October 7, 2021

For more than half a century, I grew up with dogs. While still a little child, my great protector was a Bernese Mountain Dog. Once an adult, a large Newfoundland Dog was my guard dog. For the past 15 years, I had an Australian Shepherd as my companion. There were several other dogs in between, from a Schnauzer to Golden Retriever to Labrador Retriever to a Bouvier/German Shepherd mix. I trained all dogs myself with generally good results. I didn't take dog training classes. Most recently, an 8-week old German Shepherd Dog puppy joined my family and I decided to get some tips tailored to training her. The free dog training workshop provided very helpful hints, refreshed my memory and made me adjust some of my previous training methods. I reviewed the outline of the 10-week total transformation masterclass program and concluded that it is an excellent teaching tool for new and more experienced dog owners alike. I'm sure that it will make for both happy dogs and masters.
