Misunderstanding
October 10, 2021

I have a bad review for this course. I was I correct with my first review. It was a misunderstanding on my part with billing. Corrected review. Great course and well worth the $200. My English Mastiff is well on his way to becoming trained like a service dog.

I am so impressed with the approach & tomorrow I am signing up for the 10-week course. I love that the content will enable us to train our Golden to respond like a service dog. I love that we will learn over ten weeks. Our dog is a gentle, clever lass who deserves to be trained exquisitely. Cannot wait to start. Thank you for offering the training at a reasonable price

Techniques that really work
September 9, 2021

I have always thought that positive reinforcement isn't going to work in every situation. Dr. Alexa confirmed this. I implemented that very same day the technique she explained to stop my dog from jumping on me. And it worked. I could not believe how quickly my dog learned to do the right thing instead.

The K9 Training Institute videos have been very helpful to me for training my Service Dog. I greatly appreciate the professional approach to dog training by Dr. Diaz who explains dog training in a very extensive yet understandable style. I would recommend the K9 Training Institute to anyone seeking professional dog training online.

Different way of thinking
September 9, 2021

Things start to make more sense when you look at dog training this way. A whole new aspect to me anyway and I am fairly up with good dog training. It really made sense.

Easy to follow
September 9, 2021

I just finished my first week of puppy training. Reggie is a 17 week old rescue puppy. It is so great to be able to start the training immediately instead of waiting for him to get into the vet for well check, shots and neutering. The vet is booked out for over a month. Reggie is learning so fast. He enjoys the training sessions. To keep my 3 year old dog from feeling left out I train him too. K9 Trainers are ok with that. Its like training 2 dogs for the price of one. They have Q&A calls taped so that is added learning opportunities. I will have my first call with a trainer tomorrow morning. Reggie is the 3rd dog I get to train. The first one from the beginning and I am confident I can do this with K9 Training Institute because the material is easy to understand.

Excellent Program
September 8, 2021

We are joining and expecting excellent results!
We love the theory behind giving your dog a job and terrific methods to improve their behaviour. Using physical commands instead of verbal and that is is scientifically based.

Give them a job
September 8, 2021

I thought the idea of giving the dog a "new" job to do instead of what they think their job is was amazing! Definitely going to do that. I've seen it working already.

Very informative
September 8, 2021

After years of verbal commands it's amazing the difference in the use of body communication. I work for a veterinary hospital and didn't remember how important it is for my pet to have a job!

Logical and Impressive
September 7, 2021

The approach shared in the free training video while designed to sell products and services, speaks directly to my experience in equine training. I'm excited to learn techniques that I can immediately implement to achieve desired results with my K-9 partners.

Though I have yet to experience the Master class, the daily tips provide handlers a better way to train our best friend and protector. I hope to take advantage as soon as the pandemic surge in several states slows enough to stop traveling to hospitals under seige hoping to relieve overwhelmed healthcare workers. Boxers are amazing dogs but prefer I stay home. Though Buck travels with me he needs work to prevent bad habits. I will be looking into each emailed post and recording as soon as I can. The Master class is just what my boy needs to be as well trained as my recently deceased black lab who was my service dog for 9 years. This workshop promises to transform my rambunctious boxer pup into the disciplined well mannered boy anyone would be proud to have visit their home, hospice, rehab, outdoor Cafe, etc. I understand it only takes 15 to 30 minutes a day. That's a challenge for me but one I look forward to at any price.

I liked it a lot and hopefully it will get through to the kids as to why our dog does some of the things she does. I have already practiced using some of the techniques in the video and it seems to work great. Leash training took one day and she does so much better. Now I just need to get the potty training down and i might have a pretty good puppy.
