Learning from scratch
April 6, 2025

Our 18th month old gsd we rescued 1 week ago spent 8 months in the kennels with no previous training. We are taking it slow and have to go back to puppy stage with him. These tips are really helpfull and makes the training process more fun and with a fulfilling outcome, definitely quality over quantity.

Wonderful techniques
April 6, 2025

I don't yet have any experience with the paid program but what they have sent me with just free content has been extremely useful in training my dog. I hope to join the paid program soon so that I can benefit from the teachings they provide.

Very informative
March 11, 2025

I like your program very much, unfortunately I am 73 yrs old and this is likely my last puppy, so I will not be training any more puppies. Thanks and good luck. Also US Tariff punishment on Canada is a factor.

Clear concise advice
January 29, 2025

The free training was helpful and gave clear logical advice on how to work with my rescue Tobiah. I have used hand signals with previous dogs. However, this guy is very reactive and has made me forget everything I've been trained on in the past.😊 He responded well when I tried some of the examples given.

Review of Masterclass Advertising
July 11, 2021

I am sorry to tell you, watching it was a complete waste of my time. I suppose, I could have known - that is what free webinars are usually all about. I am a trainer myself, and I do happen to train service dogs - that's what got me interested in the offer - I wanted to see whether it was something worth watching (if other people post good, interesting webinars, I do recommend them).
Well, your webinar is a big advertising campaign, no valuable training tips - and quite frankly not suitable for my clients, I teach with more modern methods. Thus, a big disappointment.

Hello Anja - it's clear from the review that you are a competitor. Isn't it bad form to post negative online reviews regarding competitors in this manner?

In addition, what you have claimed (that our free workshop is a "big advertising campaign") is false. The hundreds of positive reviews that we have received so far on Sitejabber from dog owners who have solved some of their dogs' behavioral problems (excessive barking, pulling on leash, jumping, etc.) using the free workshop is proof of this.

Last, as Sitejabber noted, we reached out to you regarding your review, but haven't yet received any response from you.

Impressive curriculum
July 11, 2021

We thought the workshop showed impressive results in the several examples they described. The results were almost too good to be true. We are still considering purchasing the full class. We would be ecstatic if our dog responded anything close to what we saw in the workshop!

Very interesting, thank you!
June 29, 2021

The ideas, techniques and concepts were very interesting and gave me new ideas for working with my own dogs. I also found it very informaive. I would have given it a 5 if there had been a way to stop and replay portions of it.

Hello Gabriel - we appreciate your posting the review; however, we don't have any customers named Gabriel Mangan. In fact, as of today, we don't have any customers in Spain because we have not yet promoted our website in Spain. So this seems to be a review meant for a different website? Thank you.

Great results
May 2, 2025

I have an aggressive dojo argentino and after alttempting other training options I have found that this has to be the best one yet. I got results immediately after starting the training techniques they showed me and I look at dog training differently and more effectively I am confident that this will work for any dog owner. I can't believe I got results the first day of using the techniques they showed me in the video they provided for free!

Onyx's "Service Dog" Training
April 28, 2025

I enjoyed the information. I found it extremely useful and abundantly helpful. Although Onyx is still a bit too young to employ most of it l will be certain to use the knowledge when the time comes.

Work in progress
March 14, 2025

We have a 1 1/2 year old golden doodle. He does good about 90% of the time we are just working on the last 10%. We used a couple of the techniques yesterday at the park. He did great it just the 9 o'clock energy burst before bedtime. Still a work in progress. Thanks

Amazing Free Workshop
April 6, 2025

I watched the free workshop and even though there was still so much more the K9 institute had to teach me, the foundation alone they shared with me was able to help me train out some of the most problem behaviors im having with a dog I just took in for my sister. I wasn't sure I could keep him before I watched the video but the information I learned was so helpful that now I know I can. In just a few days he stopped jumping up on people and isn't pulling on his leash, not to mention the progress he's making simply by using the 4 quadrant training they teach in their free workshop. It's definitely worth watching. If I wasn't a single mother living on disability I would have paid for the extra training information in a heartbeat. It's got a be a gold mine of information any dog owner is lucky to have. Thanks so much K9 training institute!

Superb Training Methods
March 16, 2025

K9 Institute uses various "teaching methods" to enable me to fully understand the what-to-do, why, and how, when I'm training my dogs. I'm extremely hard of hearing myself but the videos clarify anything I might miss in the dialogs. Training methods are easily followed and applied so all 6 of my Border Collies are benefiting.

Great help with German Shepherds
March 10, 2025

I have 2 German Shepherds (Ziva 4 and Magnum 5). I have had them in training since puppies. And they are great in public. They even go to a controlled daycare and play with 40 other dogs and no issues. On my street though, they feel like they own it. So I have been working with some of your techniques for reactive dogs. They are not aggressive, just reactive on our street. My Magnum is much better. Ziva still likes to bark if someone is very high energy, especially if they are wearing big dark glasses and a hat. She doesn't trust them.

I thank you and my dog, Remi thanks you.
March 6, 2025

Your free three sample classes were great. In just three short days, we have seen a BIG change in Remi, a 4.5 year old Jack Russell/Whippet mix rescue. Still have to work with her, that is for sure. But my husband and I are impressed, with your course. And have already recommended your course to three other folks. I only wish we could complete your course with Remi. But we got her from a rescue group end of Dec. 2024. And that cost was $450 and my husband and I are both on Soc. Sec. And just do not have money available to complete the course, even at the generous discount you offered at the end of the sample lessons. I will continue to tell folks about your courses, though since I do believe they can help dog owners and their dogs.
