Mindblowing!
August 23, 2021

This brief training guide was an eye-opener. It totally makes sense! Humans communicate with our voice and language but canines communicate through body language. Although it may be difficult for us humans to switch gears and 'think like a dog', it is totally doable! I wish there was an in-person trainer near me to help show me in depth how this technique applies to my dogs. Thank you.

Really good
August 23, 2021

I was really impressed by the Give your Dog a job tip - I sort of did that with my reactive Jack Russell when another dog came into view and I made her sit quietly, but wasn't sure why it worked (she now sits when she sees a strange dog and so long as it isn't allowed to lunge at her or come too close she beghaves well. Now I know what I'm doing and why, I can extend that to other situations where her behaviour is less good than I would like. If I hadn't just had to stop work I'd be buying the course - one day when I can afford it I will.

Workshop only so far
August 23, 2021

I enjoyed the workshop and I'm interested in ordering the program. At the discounted price, it's expensive and too little time is provided to take advantage but I intend on trying to purchase with the payment plan. However, if I miss the discount time, I would never purchase an online only program for the full price requested. In person training would be much less, even from a highly rated trainer. I'm quite capable of training my dog using guidance from a program. This program looks to be a very positive type of training and I hope to take advantage. After actually seeing the entire program, I will leave another review.

A Better way to train my dog
August 23, 2021

I watched the video on training my Romeo to act like a Service dog… the relaxed, watchful, obedient way a service dog would act. Its totally fascinating. Its different. I am 65 years old, have had toy poodles throughout my life, so I recognize a good thing when I see it. You will not know what you are missing if you don't watch it but I guarantee… you will be missing something cool. Refreshingly smart way to train. Their philosophy is different. The methods are different. It will teach you a dog's language rather than teaching your dog your language. Come on, you know you are interested!

K9 EXCELLENCE!
August 23, 2021

I was doubtful at first that this was too good to be true.
But I was pleasantly surprised. And have been trying out
The technique on my stubborn 4 month old Cavapoo, who is an alpha dog.
I will be signing up for training. And I need some training to.
I have had many puppies but have never had such an ADHD dog before.

Love This Product
August 22, 2021

Thought it was really interesting to learn how we are not training our dogs correctly. I learned some tricks and have used them on Bella. She has responded well. She is so smart and we have come along way in just a couple of months of being together. Thanks for the tips for training Bella.

Quality dog training info
August 21, 2021

I only watched the free video so far but it contains clear, helpful training suggestions. I especially liked the before and after videos, and showing how to give dogs a job that helps them avoid unwanted behaviour.

The tips given were helpful but I still think the cost of the course is prohibitive. Especially at this time.

Giving my dog a job
August 20, 2021

Hi team,

I love the video training.

I've tried doing the part of giving the dog an opposite task to what he does. It's been only two days now but I can see a difference in making him sit everytime he starts barking at someone. He starts barking and when I call his name at least he is stopping or pausing cause he knows I'll make him sit. Love it.

Hope to hear more training. Best time to do this while on lockdown.

Kind regards,
Christal
