The company has garnered a positive reputation for its effective dog training techniques, with many customers noting significant improvements in their pets' behavior through the provided resources. The training methods, emphasizing operant conditioning and practical strategies, resonate well with users, fostering a sense of joy in the training process.

Overall, the company is viewed favorably for its informative content and supportive approach, yet it may benefit from exploring more accessible pricing options to enhance customer satisfaction.

Upon watching the free video I have given my 12 year old pup another job when my doorbell rings or someone knocks on the door I now have her sit on her mat designated for when she gets her treats, so she knows it well. The bell just rang, & no bark but sat on her mat till I answered. Took only 3 days!
I've yet to order but have been using the free web videos and my 3 year old Rottweiler has made a happy difference for both of us!
Everything given was extremely helpful. From watch the workshop to receiving emails with further information and help. Seeing the videos that were posted and how the improvement of the dog takes place was also fabulous to see. All of the information has been a great help to me. Thank you
I haven't had a chance to fully go through the workshop yet but I already use hand signals while training so as I am self taught I'm sure there will be lots of hints and tips for me. Especially around stopping barking and jumping up I hope. My previous labs were amazing with training and so easy as they loved food but my current rescue Heinz 57 labs are proving to be more tricky to teach so looking forward to studying and using your free program
Very useful and informative, unfortunately full masterclass too expensive or I would have loved to go for it
The things described in the training made so much sense but I had never thought of before. These cues also made it easier for me to be calmer while training.
Very helpful. Especially the body language v. verbal commands & pulling on the leash advice.
I volunteer at an animal shelter & am already using these tips.
I am going to give a 5/5 score today. I am encouraged with what I have received so far, but I am just getting started. Piper is now 10 weeks old and I just started with the "watch" queue yesterday. I would say we have our work cut out for us. Hopefully I won't give up. That will be the test of whether it stays 5/5 or drops down. It is really difficult to give her the treat the one second she does make eye contact. Something we need to work on with a lot on practice.
Great and easy ways to train your dog without treats
Had been through email. Unfortunately, I am unable to purchase the entire course. But appreciate the email tips
The videos are engaging and uses common sense to teach your dog how to behave. These videos show amazing results.
Coco is very strong for me that she usually pulls me& she jumps too every time we are coming home from work. The basic ones that they showed on the video is perfect for me.
Thank you.
I loved the free workshop and emails that I get. They have great tips and tricks for dog parents.
The 3 steps explained in this free tutorial has expanded my understanding of puppies/dog behavior, how to encourage good behavior in a constructive way, and gave me tools to help me communicate commands more effectively. I have had training classes in the past, and this free tutorial has added a deeper element of awareness of a gentler approach that helps me too. Happier puppy, happy family. Thanks.
Everything is friendly and with knowledge thanks to you guys to have this awsome opportunity for me and my dogs
I subscribed to K9 as I don't have much experience with dogs. I am looking into adopting a border collie but I have no clue on how or where to start. K9 is a great place as they keep sending me info via email and that has helped me tremendously
The free workshop was informative and easy to follow. It held helpful tips.
I found great tips as a dog owner. We are going working on a couple of issues, like leash pulling and jumping
Very happy with the advice - haven't instigated it yet but it totally makes sense. For dogs jumping people always say (incorrectly) to turn your back on the dog - well mine just kangaroo at my back jumping all the time - your method makes complete sense.
