I watch this video and found it very helpful. I have used it with a 5 yr old lab mix, and with repetition he is beginning to respond to body language. We are moving from a home he can come and go with the invisible fence to a smaller home he will be walked on a leash. We needed help with our dog because he would become anxious on a leash, pulling us and trying to go back to the car when we first started using the leash
I watched the training video and I got so much out of it. My daughter is a trained Vet Nurse and she runs a Puppy School for her clients. To be able to show her some far better techniques and to explain why that is and then to implement that on our own dogs with amazing results is incredible and totally unexpected. I am so glad I watched the video and so grateful that it was available. Thank you.
Very good advice clear easy to follow instructions
I enjoyed the free dog training workshop immensely. I got several very good points that will be very helpful to me when my new little girl comes home in 2 weeks. I really appreciate your sharing that info with me. My dog and I will definitely be the better for learning it.
I found this website and began participating in the canine training institute the information was very eye-opening very helpful and I will continue to use it recommend everybody else to use it as well.
I'm only giving 4 stars at the moment because we've only just begun with an 8 week old puppy. I will say I was at my wits end. I was sleep deprived, my clean house was no longer "feeling or smelling" clean, can't say I've got that caught up yet but at least I am finding more time to work on getting it back.
When I broke down and bought this program I was 3 nights sleep deprived, so exhausted, frustrated and felt completely hopeless. Our puppy just wasn't getting it…or I wasn't getting it.
I purchased some gates to gate him a play space in the kitchen, got him a harness, and partitioned off his crate to only allow him room to lay down in. Then every 20-30 minutes…yes really, I took him out often and excitedly praised him and gave him a little treat when he went outside. And within a couple of hours doing this I could see the lightbulb go on. It is also about learning their cues. Then if he starts pottying inside I immediately picked him up saying no firmly, but not yelling, and carried him outside to finish then praised him outside.
That was 3 days ago and we've nine had 3 fully dry nights in the kennel and one night with no potty breaks all night, though I wouldn't recommend that at this early stage because it could possibly lead to UTI. He has a baby bladder and the training is teaching him to hold it all night but I think for now every 3-4 hours is about as long as you want to go with that.
Our puppy isn't super vocal so he isn't letting us know vocally that he needs to go out so we are working on the bell system. We ring the bell every time it's potty time and I say "potty?". Now we have it hanging on the gate encouraging him to shake the bells when he needs to go.
The other thing I've learned is that he needs a job. I haven't figured that out completely yet but I'm looking forward to this next step. We just want him to be a well balanced dog that can be trusted with anyone, to listen to our commands and understand what they mean. I want to be able to walk with him without fear of confrontation with another dog. I need to learn these techniques and I feel this program has the tools for me to learn them.
Their video was most helpful in providing tips on how to deal with some common pet behaviour problems.
I have now watched the video and I think this would be a fantastic course for any dog owner
I haven't done the whole course yet but watched the video and immediately saw the benefit of the touch command. We started to train our dog immediately to touch and it's working well. She will now come in from outside to TOUCH when she wouldn't COME before. I also started working on body language to stop jumping up. It worked almost immediately. The third trick I adopted was doing a uturn when she's pulling on the leash. That also worked extremely well. I like many of the ideas presented. Thank you!
I loved it! I found it very informative and easy to follow.
Very informative and well presented. Although my border collie is extremely well behaved he doesn't like cars. I have tried numerous training methods while walking him but haven't had too much success. He still lunges at cars. Would love some help with this. I've used very similar methods to yours with all his other training and have had great success. Body language is key!
I found the tutorial most helpful, more so for me, than Zak. I now know that I need to tweak a few things to keep Zak concentrating on me, and to stay calm. When someone else explains things properly, it makes so much more sense, and easier. Many Thanks for your guidance. Jan.
I watched the free dog training workshop by K9 training institute and it was excellent. Thank you so much for this informative and useful video.
The information provided and its presentation is excellent
I had never been taught how to train a dog so this was very helpful.
I have had 8 puppies during my life and wish that I would have had this training program. Currently I have a emotional support dog and will put these tips and training videos into effect.
I sure do appreciate the K9 Training Institute for sharing their training tips for showing a dog how to be calm. As my mother used to say, "No one likes a child or a dog who misbehaves!"
I am a twenty five year German Shepherd breeder and trainer. However, I have not trained a puppy in twenty years. Basically I joined to get "memory joggers" and new techniques. I have found this training site to be excellent, not only is it bringing tips and tricks that I used years ago back to me, it is giving me tips that I have never seen before. If someone like myself can benefit from this course, a newcomer to dog training must find it absolutely irreplaceable.
This knowledge has helped me so much with training Riggs. He is starting to listen to me better and be a better dog all around!
