I really enjoyed learning more about my pup and her behavior. We have already made some significant changes and she is responding beautifully.

Free Dog Training Workshop
August 6, 2021

I was very happy and surprised how much the training video information provided. I do not usually think much of any free workshops. But, I found out it really was not a gimmick to get you interested enough to do the 'paid' training. Yes, the training is mentioned at the end, but the tips were true and given up-front. I liked the credentials of Dr. Diaz and believe that she truly is in the profession because she cares about animals

Very informative
August 6, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the K9 Training Institute video. I learned about the importance of operative conditioning and using body language given that my puppies do not fully understand my words.

I'm experienced with dog handling and have had many dogs in my life. It's been years since I trained a pup and wanted a refresher. So far, very impressed with the information received and considering the series purchase. A little steep for my budget, but do see the value it could offer!

Questions on hyperness
August 5, 2021

I always raise my voice and tell her no jumping or get down, but now I know that all I have to do is turn my head. So thank you for adding that tip to your message. I would like to know how I can get my dog to calm down since she's hyper. I was wondering if I should take her out on runs or more walks since huskies are meant to be runners and not really stay at home dogs. Is there anything I can or should change that?

This program changed my view of training Lucy. As a retired K-9 officer I thought I knew how to approach teaching Lucy to do what I wanted her to do as a family pet. I know know that there is do much more for me to know and I'm interested to go into the advanced program. Life with Lucy is now so much better. Thanks!

I tried the no barking experience and it worked when ignoring him. I am working on leash training he is not bad because at the rescue they had that a socialization there. I just have to tweek him up a little by changing directions.

I've only received positive and great emails so far with K9 Training Institute. Very instructive and helpful emails filled with vital information about their process and how they can make every dog a better dog. I have nothing to complain about with their emails and their tips to help me train my dog to be the dog I want him to be.

Wonderful Information
August 5, 2021

I haven't tried the crate training yet but the book is wonderful in as it explains everything in detail. I'm sure it will work because so far I am following instructions on house breaking my 11 week old puppy and after just 4 days she hasn't gone in the house!
