Excellent expert training advice
September 16, 2021

I saw this on the internet so signed up as we just got a meeting puppy. The free videos were extremely helpful in giving me an introduction to the way dogs think and behave. Great tips!

I loved the workshop!
September 15, 2021

The workshop was very helpful! I had my husband watch it too and I was telling him things to do with Ozzie but didn't listen to me, but today he was doing things that was on the work shop video,, My Ozzie is a sweetheart but every once in a while he gets aggressive towards someone when they go to pet him,, I need to figure out how to nip this! He is a rescue so I don't know his history which makes it very difficult,,, thanks for sharing the video

I have had dogs my whole life and have attended in person training classes with some of them, and followed the basics learned there with others. My current new puppy is going to be huge and I need to take his training seriously. This free workshop already taught this old dog (me) some new tricks. Very interesting and makes complete sense. I am going to practice what I've learned today starting today :)

Good Tips! And it really is FREE!
September 15, 2021

Difficult to accomplish when you are in the middle of a pack though! The youngest yorkie cross learned quickly; the other 2 not so much. My Border Collie looked at me like I had lost my mind. He knows all this stuff! LOL The lab/pit cross has a screw loose; don't know if anything will work with her.

Looking forward to Masterclass
September 15, 2021

I watched the free dog training video and was convinced! I tried tip on getting my dog to stop jumping on me when I came through the door - and already can see she will be stopping this bad habit very soon as she is responding just as the dog in video. :) I ordered masterclass and can't wait to get started.

Online dog training

The information provided was well presented, covered common behavioural problems and provided actual demonstrations of how to kindly and positively change a dog's behaviour. Really useful information every dog owner should know.

K9TI Workshop
September 14, 2021

The workshop by K9 Training Institute was very informative for the short time we had. There are a lot of pointers and gave us enough information to get a good feel for what the ultimate training course would be. The presentors felt trustworthy and knowledgable.

This simple command really worked!
September 14, 2021

My dog got excited and barked and jumped on people who came to visit me. I tried the "bed" command and it really works! She calms down and waits until she has permission to greet the guest. There's still a tendency for her to want to jump up but it's much less because she's calmer and more focused on getting my permission. Looking forward to learning more!
