Awesome information
September 28, 2021

We have been trying to get our dogs not to jump on us and the information you gave us starts working instantly. They seem to be calmer. It's only been 4 days and we see a difference already. Looking forward on the potty training issues we are having with our 12 week old golden doodle (Duke)

Exceptional Videos
September 28, 2021

After watching a few of the videos I found them both entertaining and nicely put together.
However, I need to be in person kind of thing, I wish I could actually do as the videos instructs, but I need to be with someone. I only wish they had some live classes. Thank you for your videos I enjoyed watching them

Training Wolfie
September 28, 2021

The help I received from your video was spot on. It was easy to train Wolfie once he understood what I was trying to tell him and also the way to communicate the command. It was easy to follow. The one thing I disagreed with was the fact that your dog does not understand English. My dog(s) do understand when I am speaking to them. Other than that the information was well presented.

Pulling and jumping
September 27, 2021

Have used your techniques from the short video and they have helped my German Shepherd do better. He is still a puppy, born the end of January. He is getting the hang of if he jumps on me I walk into him. Have been doing the leash pull instructions and that is better.

The best in training your dog
September 27, 2021

I have already spend $200 with a dog trainer who emphasise on treat rewards and I did not reach any result to stop my dog from barking at other dogs and the door bell. But already with only few tips from K9 Training Institute I have wondeful results. I highly recommed their training.

Huge Difference!
September 27, 2021

We have a Belgian Malinois that's 6 months old and has been developing some bad habits. Your free video has already made a huge difference for us. Our dog jumped on us every time he saw us, but we followed your suggestions to eliminate that problem and have had incredible success. Thank you!

If, like me, you already have experience training dogs, you can still benefit from this course. It's never to late to learn about new techniques.

Training Jem
September 27, 2021

I recently adopted, Jem, an American Pit Bull Terrier who had been living on the streets near Chicago. At some point her right hind leg was broken and healed at an angle. She was found living under an old truck, covered with grease and oil. She was malnutritioned and in desperate need of medical help and food and water. She was about 2 years old and spent 4 months sheltered at a pet hospital and was frightened of everything and everyone, except the staff at the pet hospital. People came to meet her, but due to the 'crooked leg' no one took her home.
I only needed 10 minutes with her before my decision to adopt was made. Once I got her home quickly realized that she would need training and patience form me. I found the K9 Training Institute online and watched their video. I was amazed at how little things I had been doing were not productive in training her, not because of Jem being unable to learn, but because I was using mostly verbal commands rather than body movements. Once I began to use the simple techniques shown in the introductory video I was able to communicate with Jem in a way she understood. And, I am pleased to say Jem has become a very loving and happy dog.
Learning how to properly communicate with your dog, in my opinion, is the first step to being able to fully appreciate how wonderful dogs are. I am thankful to K9 Training Institute for providing the guidance I needed to properly train my dog.

Good tips from free workshop
September 27, 2021

I've only been previewing the free workshop but I like the videos and the info.
I am seriously considering getting the full course.
The info they give makes sense and if I can train by doing 10 to 15 minutes a day that is great!

New puppy

I found your class informative and helpful for my new puppy. I have had dogs before but learned some new training ideas. I especially agree with the idea of giving your dog a job. Great content for a free class.
