New puppy experience
September 1, 2025

I'm just getting started with my new havanese puppy but have been involved with pet therapy and other service dogs as a program director in a hospital. Dogs that are well trained and loved are a crucial part of healing processes.

Amazing video and of great help
September 1, 2025

I want to be guide dog trainer and this was the most info that I have gotten from one place. I love research but trying to find training expertise for dog is really challenging. This was an amazing find I really enjoyed it. I am sure thier program will be great for those training their own dog. I did not enroll only because my dog does not have the problems the program fixes. The video was great and really helpful.

Good video
August 30, 2025

I usually find promotional videos pretty lame but I learned some good info from this one. Our geriatric dog will sadly leave us soon. When we get a new puppy (cannot live without a dog!) a while after I will be looking for training with these folks. Even our old guy has benefited from the bits I learned

Great presentation
August 29, 2025

A very professional presentation with a lot to give consideration too. There are many on line dog training programs options to choose from, some are rather simplistic and do not really offer the residential dog owner structured guide. Othesr ls are misleading with ads that look good, and inexpensive, but what you get is different from the ad.

Puppy eye opener
August 28, 2025

Liam was so full on as you would expect any puppy of 9 weeks to be, but with applying the hand signals as well as verbal instructions he is making headway.

K9 training
August 25, 2025

I just started with the videos but as a former military dog trainer I am very impressed with what I am seeing my dog in the military was trained for ordnance drugs and aggression and this is the opposite of what I need now wanting my dog to listen but definitely not aggressive
