Dog training video
September 13, 2021

I am waiting to pick up my new puppy soon and wanted a few tips on training her. I really liked the part of how to stop your dog jumping up at visitors when they arrive.

I would also like to know how to call them back if they are off the lead.

4 components to training
September 12, 2021

The information shared, especially the 4 components to training was very informative. I am familiar with some of the techniques but you brought new information to me and most importantly the "whys" for both myself and my pup.

The advice given was very helpful with training our puppy. Small amounts of time working on leash training as well as not jumping up on people have paid big dividends already. This is a wonderful program.

Sharing and caring
September 12, 2021

Me and my dog Mikey are best friends. He is my constant companion. Unfortunately I can't afford high-priced classes to learn better ways to communicate with him. And I never have believed that harming or punishing an animal made them love you more. So I was extremely appreciative of the information that was shared so freely from the start. From the beginning the wisdom that was shared so willingly made instant changes in Mikey's attention span. He seemed much more confident and trusting. He is a rescue dog who has been through some hard things. Trust is something that he has had to learn to give. So being taught how to gain that trust was an incredible gift. I look forward to the emails that give us a little tips and hints as we maneuver this journey. They have all been very helpful. I may not have much money but I am definitely full of gratitude for the K9 Institute and the wisdom that they've shared. And delivering what they advertise speaks to their integrity which is a rare commodity these days. For that I give them much respect. And five stars.

Dog jumping.
September 12, 2021

When I watched your video I tried the eye contact and said nothing and then turned my back to Missy and she quit jumping on me. The first time it worked. I couldn't be happier. I am continuing to use it and it's still working. I am the type that will repeat No over and over. Not any more silence is golden. Thank you so much.

So helpful
September 11, 2021

It's been 15 years since my last puppy. And he was the most easy to train dog with lovely manners. But I can't remember what I did with him and how! So this site has been really helpful to remind me how to cope and train a young energetic and highly intelligent pup.

Informational trading video was great!
September 11, 2021

I didn't really think about how dogs communicate with each other so it makes total sense to not just use words but also body language. And giving our pooches jobs to do is wonderful.

Both interesting and learn some.
September 11, 2021

I am glad to hear training doesn't work with constant treats. I don't think it is healthy - even if you give healthy treats. Working 10-15 minutes per day is not a lot - everyone has time for 10-15 min per day.
