Helpful research based canine tips
March 26, 2023

Been considering K9 Training Institute for my 2 adult rescues, their training approach video feels fact based and makes great sense. And they offer tips if you purchase their training or not, seems to demonstrate their confidence in being able to deliver on the training promises.

First you have to train the trainer.
March 26, 2023

All my neighbors comment on how well trained my dog seems to be. I reply that controlling my dog's behavior is always a work in progress. I am a former trainer and "Training Director" for a major state agency (retired). Good training has always been the result of focusing on desired performance outcomes and helping the trainee to desire to meet or exceed those performance outcomes. The two go hand in hand. The same goes for my pup. A rescue, she was a one-year-old terrier/schnauzer mix. Weighing in at 24 lb. I was told she would not get much bigger. After having her for just three weeks my wife and I brought her to a dog park and we were traumatized by her attempted viciousness toward a mother and her two children. Securely leashed at the time I never expected to be able to trust her around children or strangers. Four years later and now grown to 56 lbs. she is a pleasure to walk and I even get her to fetch my neighbor's newspapers and set them near their doors. The K9 Training Institute methods have reinforced and validated my training techniques. The Institute has helped me to understand what I have done right, what I can improve on, and what I needed to stop doing immediately. I subconsciously knew that my dog recognized my body language but I never understood to what level. For the first time I consciously recognized the hand signals I often used with verbal commands were key parts of my body language. I also learned the importance of positive corrective behaviors. My goal now is to train my dog to alert me when a visitor is at my door instead of going into frenzied barking and running to the door. I had no idea how to begin to correct this behavior until I was introduced to the philosophy and techniques of the K9 Training Institute. I could not have trained my dog to this level without first training myself.

Excellent content!
March 26, 2023

Thorough and detailed explanation of the program and what it can do for you and your dog. The tips I receive in my inbox are invaluable. I just adopted a dog I'm training to replace my service dog who recently died of cancer, so this program couldn't have come at a better time.

It Works!

The workshop is full of good information and it works! After only the second day of applying a technique, our poodle is starting to jump on us less when we come home.

I am a new dog owner of a giant rambunctious dog. The tips were remarkable. I can't believe there was so much that I didn't know. I have implemented many of the tips, and they are actually working.

Great tips
March 25, 2023

I watched the free video that gave some wonderful advise on how to solve excessive barking and pulling on leach along with others. The most helpful thing I learned was that dogs have ADHD and must have a job!

I am anxious to try those techniques which feel very doable. The choice of behaviour to correct is bang on and the video is helpful in visualizing how to correct.
