A training method that makes sense!
August 30, 2021

We found the free intro module very intriguing. The methodology sounds logical, practical and we loved learning about the underlying principles based on dog psychology. Understanding the way our dog thinks will help us to communicate and interact on a whole new level.

I found that at 80 years of age and a history of many dogs, including fostering, I am using many of the techniques and know they work. I just wish I saw this when I was a teenager. I, and my best friend, get so much joy out of work she willingly performs. Such as: getting the paper, my shoes or socks, putting away her toys and our shoes left at the door so I can vacuum, getting her food dish for meals, playing hid and seek, putting on her harness to ride in the car and anything I can think of to do over and over. Regardless, there are many new things we both want to accomplish after watching your video. Thank you.

Barking Controls
August 30, 2021

The video of how to give your dog a job instead of being out control and continuously barking was well done. I have used the what I learned to better my dogs behavior. I would have liked it to explain more on how going to his bed was a job. The video however was very helpful.

Best k9 training
August 30, 2021

The k9 training video was amazing. It was full of tips and easy fixes, especially for the mistakes I was making. For all the years I have struggled to break my dogs bad or uncontrollable habits, this short video has enlightened me. No more frustration after I realized my errors, I adjusted my ways and we are all so pleased with the results. I feel closer to my dogs and we seem to communicate with each other better. I can not believe that after years of excessive barking as guest arrive or deliveries are made, I have dogs that behave so well. You really can teach old dogs new tricks.

The jumping video. That I been doing with my 9 week old pup and he has picked it up so fast. He hardly ever jumps up on anyone anymore. When you walk he will sit and wait for you to pet him.

Looks very promising!
August 29, 2021

The tips showed in the free training video look very promising. I would've liked to take advantage of the transformation training class but I've got vacation and a kids wedding fast approaching.

Very simple overview but helpful
August 29, 2021

The online training video presented clues to the future master classes … & it's probably a really helpful class for a reasonable price- Just not sure Id be consistent in training without a physical class

It's hard housebreaking an adult dog, fortunately for me I have K9 training tips and Ranger is obeying a couple of commands. I have also learnt to be patient and am clear on what errors to avoid regarding training Ranger

Prepping for the Puppy
August 28, 2021

K9 offered some great tips that clued us into speaking dog. Such a great concept in training a dog to respond in their language. We are preparing to have a great experience with our puppy right from the start. Excited about experiencing the entire course.

Quick results
August 28, 2021

Sneaker, a Border collie pup, was VERY rambunctious to say the least. With the training tips he is now calmer. Also the tips for using hand signals works very well. In just a few days he has learned to stay. Before, he would sit or lay down on command but didn't seem to understand "stay". Thank you!

Dog training that makes sense
August 28, 2021

We have a 6 month old LH mini dachshund. We had started him on obedience training with voice commands but after watching the free demo of the K9i we have successfully moved to hand signals. K9i training is concise and easy to follow. We would love to purchase the Masterclass but living in South Africa it's just too expensive for us. We wish you every success in helping us understand more about the psychology of our precious pets and training them to be the best they can be.
