It only took me a couple of days to teach my dogs to not jump when someone comes through the front door. I have tried to teach them on my own and could not believe how easy they changed behavior with simple changes on my part.

Great Organization
March 6, 2026

The free workshop was so incredible. This is my first time ever training a puppy or dog for that matter. It's always been my husband. The content had things I had never heard before as far as training. The content was easy to follow and understand. I took notes so I can refer to them later when needed. Thank you K9 Training Institute for not only giving this workshop for free but also showing me how to properly train without treats. I highly recommend this to everyone.

I have only viewed the free training videos and have already found the information helpful. I have a new puppy and a reactive older dog. I want to help my older dog with reactivity so my new puppy doesn't pick up his bad habits.

Eye opening easy to start
March 1, 2026

We have 2 doodles 5 years old and the simple fixes for several problems were easy to use and successful within just a few days. They are calming dogs with occasional bad habits. I hope to continue working with them to make them easier to take out together..

Happy Ziggie.
February 28, 2026

The advice is priceless. Ziggie is now walking beside instead of pulling me along on the walk. Just now to instill the same with her sister Lillie. One at a time works best.

Well done for your training videos
February 25, 2026

Great videos of how to train our dogs in different areas. I will be applying this training to my dog as she grows.
As I am in Australia, your converted $ price to the membership is too expensive for me, I'm sure it's worth it but I don't work so have to be careful.
Keep up the good work.

Trial workshop
February 24, 2026

Well done, easy to follow, applicable and presented at a speed that allows note taking etc. I am using what I learned with Sofia now. I'll evaluate the results and decide whether to go on to the masterclass.

Are you sure I can't give 10/10?

Regards,
- Mark and Sofia

Wish I knew this info 3 years ago!
February 24, 2026

I had an older rescue in 2023. Unfortunately, I did not have the time or the knowledge offered in your videos to work with this sweet black German Shepherd. She couldn't handle loud noises, attacked all other dogs (big & small) pinning them down to the ground in a neck hold with her mouth, obviously trained with food, became overly excited when certain people visited, and would run outside to our parked vehicles and jump up on them scratching the new paint job on both. Humane Society insisted on giving her pharmaceutical drugs to calm her down. We tried safer natural alternatives for her nerves due to heart palpitations caused by the drugs, but we were at a loss for all the other issues. Using your techniques would have enabled us to train her properly. I would not have made the difficult decision to return her to the Humane Society. :(

Helpful reminders
February 23, 2026

I work with Junior Handlers. Since I have kids ageing out at 18 and joining at age 9 all the time, it's nice to have occasional reminders of what my younger kids ( and their parents) may have missed from the ongoing curriculum. Proper Nutrition and grooming is an integral part of getting a dog ready for the show ring but is easily overlooked in training sessions. Your hints help me to remember to add these crucial elements to our weekly training meetings.

Good training tips
February 21, 2026

I learned better how to handle my new puppy from listening to the free workshop video. I still want to learn more to resolve some issues with nipping. I would highly recommend this course.
