Potty Training your Dog
August 15, 2025

Is going better. Still not totally confident that he will consistently give message that he needs to go out to go potty.

K9 Training Institute provides great advice on traing your dog. They cover different methods, how different breeds respond (and why) to different methods and how to incorporate those methods into your training program. Dogs are not robots (or "people") and respond to prompts differently. An entire toolbox in needed to get the desired results. There is an old saying "Happy wife, happy life"... but "well behaved dog, happy life" is very important too. Well trained, obedient dogs are fun to be around. They are a pleasure to have in your home and are welcome members to the community you live in due to their good behavior. A dog without behavior problems is less likely to end up in the pound or in rescue. Signs in businesses that say "Dogs Not Welcome" are usually not there for the well behaved dog. They are there for the ill-mannered ones.

House broken in 1 week!
August 14, 2025

A week and a half ago I rescued a male Shih Tzu mix while I was off work for the week. He's 4 years old and was not house broken. I was concerned because I work full-time 4 days per week and was worried he would not use the dog door to go outside on his own when I was at work. I signed up for the free mini training tips email, followed the instructions and before I had to return to work Bruno was going through the dog door and into the back yard to potty on his own. I had told him that if he was unable to figure out how to go outside when he needed to or wanted to that I might have to return him to his foster home. He listened! I have not awakened in the morning or returned home in the evening to a single oopsie in the house so far. I'm thrilled.

Great start
August 14, 2025

I'm fostering a puppy for 10 days. I'm exhausted! I found the free training on line and WOW. Ill take anything I can get to help transition this little nugget into a well trained puppy. Learning about the 4 quadrants of training proved very helpful especially when she nips. Thanks for sharing and for those who plan on training a dog especially one that can be supportive to its owner this is a great teaching tool.

Best advice ever
August 14, 2025

I watched a short video from canine training. Can I put what I learned to work that every day I have five dogs and when I learned work immediately. My neighbor knocked at the door and I had explained to her what to do. It was amazing. They didn't jump on her. She walked to my kitchen counter, not paying attention to the dogs. No pets on the heads no greetings she turned around and they were all sitting in front of her. It was amazing and then they got the rewards. Everybody got pets nobody jumped. I was so impressed.

Explained the basics of training easily, hoping it works on an overactive stubborn 3 yr old doodle.

Walking my puppy on a leash improved. Also the use of body language has helped.

Value Packed
August 12, 2025

I've signed up for numerous "free" webinars on dog training with promises of value. None have actually delivered anything truly useful until this. I found the K9 Institute video engaging, fun AND incredibly helpful, with training tips that were immediately transformative. Thank you for walking your talk! Highly recommend.

Free Dog Training Workbook
August 11, 2025

This workbook has been of great help. A lot of free information which is awesome and I like that you start with body language then add verbal commands. Still working my way through but this has been a great asset.

My dachshund
August 11, 2025

I have had a couple of years barking from my 3-year-old dachshund. Then I found this website and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. The instructions are easy to follow. My dachshund is learning new habits to replace the bad ones. So far so good

Free workshop was informative
August 11, 2025

I haven't had to do any puppy training since 2009 and this free workshop was very informative and I recognized a lot of the techniques I originally learned years ago, plus some new ones. Thank you for offering that information.

Free Dog Training Workshop
August 10, 2025

I had just brought my new puppy home when I happened upon your "free
Dog training workshop". I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I especially
Liked the operant conditioning segment that showed the four ways to
Communicate with your dog. My only problem with the workshop video was
That I wanted to scroll back and review something and I was unable to.

High hopes for Coco
August 10, 2025

I have a 9 month old GSD who is in dire need of calming down and taking instruction. I have high hopes this program will give me and her the relationship we need. I am totally new to dog training and 74 years of age I need a calm dog. I have just started her training and I know that it will not be an overnight project, but this course gives me the tools and support I need to accomplish this task. Thank you for making these service dog training lessons available to all of us who need them.

Great class
August 9, 2025

The introductory free masterclass was full of great information on explaining the philosophy of K9TI training. If it wasn't for severe financial difficulties at this time I would have jumped on this immediately. Even though Bonnie exhibits a couple of these behaviors, she is the prima donna of escape artists. My biggest issue is she getting out when the front door is open. Thank you for the masterclass. I did enjoy it! Jo

Great info for free
August 9, 2025

Id love to use the K9 training institute. I already hired an in-person trainer for board and train so we are paying for that 1st. If the discount comes around again from K9 we will have to hop on it.

Super instinctual training!
August 7, 2025

The tips that were provided in this class cut through the b. S. and achieved almost instantaneous results. Would be comfortable using these techniques with all dogs.
