I have only started week one but the course is easy to follow and my dog and I are both enjoying it. I have already started to see an improvement in her engagement with me. Can't wait to start week 2.
Was an awesome training and great class! Super helpful
We rescued a two and a half year old breeder dog from a shelter. She had some issues some trust issues was fearful and needing much training. I myself am a cat person so training a dog I was not it's knowledgeable. After much research we decided to give canine training a try. Great success. Not only does it train my dog it trained me to train my dog. No longer feel I'm making rookie mistakes. Recommended this to my neighbor whose dog does not have good boundaries with people and furniture. Recommend this for puppies and dog training.
So far the training has been great and a lot of new tips. The training focuses on a relationship with your companion. Appreciate the sharing
What I have seen so far seems excellent. Used one tip the first night when I went home... ignored my pups and didn't make eye contact and they calmed down quickly.
I've only watched the initial free episode. I learned so much about dog AND owner behaviors. They don't just tell you what to do, they explain the reason. I was able to utilize the information immediately and got great results. Knowing why something happens leads to greater understanding, empathy and patience. I love my dog more.
Många bra tips. Att lära din hund att ha ett jobb. Suveränt. Jag skall genast börja träna min hund med detta
I have a lot of experience with grown dogs, however, with puppies, not so much. The puppy training videos were very informative and helpful.
I love your approach to training a dog. I have started with our dog this week & already see a difference in his behavior.
Thank You

Well, I've been reading every single training information that has been sent to me and practicing them on my Doggo argentino she's a girl and she's very stubborn but one that really actually got me was the body commands where it explained that dogs do not understand people, but they don't understand the body language, and I certainly was amazed to see because I didn't know that I know dogs are not people, but I thought they would understand what yes no said don't do that you know they would understand those type of things but now that I'm using the body commands, and I do a company at buy some one word, not a whole phrase or sentence like it described to do. She has been exactly doing everything that I tell her to do I am in total shock. She is a great girl and here I was thinking that she just was not ever gonna listen that she's still stubborn till the daylight, but she did listen. She was just not understanding I guess but now with the body language, she sure is and I do accompany it by a simple one word like if I tell her lay down, I do it with both my hands down and I say lay down. If I tell her $#*! I will do it with one hand going down and I tell her $#*! sometimes I don't even use the words I just use my hands and she'll still do it meaning, she understands the body language more but I do like to use words as well, but just one simple word to not confuse her. Thank you so much and definitely look forward to more information and practicing everything on her. This is just one of my most happiest ones that I wanted to share that left them in total shock and everyone at home lol thank you very very much for all your intell it is greatly appreciated and much more when it's coming for nothing in return just the simple, wanting to help people out there, and their pets as well to be loved, and happy so that everybody can live under the same roof very happy and very differently. Thank you again.
I've been using the technique in the video to stop Izzy from barking when someone comes to the door. It works out great.
Here is my review just based on watching the "free" workshop video.
Pro: The people do seem knowledgeable and fun.
Pro: The video is well made and easy to understand, and the information was outlined well.
Pro: It also presented a very convincing case of why the training techniques are more natural for the dog's ability to learn.
Pro: This training method looks to be somewhat similar to a more updated and fresher take on the Koehler method—accept far more accessible.
Con: The video is EXTREMELY sales gimmicky to the point of almost pushing me away. Without all the sales gimmicks, this video could have been a lot shorter and presented more authentically, but they force you to watch the entire video to find out what the actual cost is (there is no ability to rewind or fast-forward the video).
Con: The Website is also gimmicky in that it also doesn't list the cost upfront; one must watch the video. All this makes me wonder if the whole training process is going to be continuing in further sales tactics. Even my review here (with being promised an e-book in return) is a sales tactic since I have not yet signed up for the Master Class, but I'm willing to play along with the hope that my concerns may actually be addressed.
Con: They offer a "special" price of $200 if I sign up within 5 days of seeing the video (yes, they actually track the days and remind you how many days you have left), but the problem with that is I don't even have my puppy yet to start the training. He's been born, but I can't get him for 8 weeks. It just feels pushy, and I wish they hadn't decided to go that route. Getting a puppy and signing him up for a class should feel fun and light—not pushy.
Overall, I LOVED what I saw in their training methods ALOT. But I don't have great trust in them because of their gimmicky sales tactics. So therefore, I am on the fence. Yet if I'm on the fence too long (past 5 days post video - and I don't even have my puppy yet), and the price does go up because of that, then I'm certain what my decision will be.
Thank you, and I hope my concerns can be addressed in a non-pushy, non-gimmicky sales, authentic kind of way.
I enjoyed the free videos. I practiced the No jump procedure, and just after a few times, my dog is not jumping on me.
It showed me to give my dog a job when he growls as people and dogs go by my apartment. However, what job do I give him when he is sitting on my lap and growling?
I like the approach. Patience is not food motivated. Using body language like you do for service dogs is a great approach. I do plan to enroll in the Masterclass series.

It's so helpful for me with learning the ways and tools to train my puppy.
Very good info. I haven't had a puppy in 17 year so all this info was great. Will definitely be trying it out when I pick Remi up at the end of April.

Exactly what every new fur baby parent needs very well explained each video was very easy to follow, it was very helpful for us we just got 2 Goldendoddles brother and sister and it's not as easy as I thought to work with them I also work full time so I need help and this was the perfect one for us we highly recommend this training, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to tell you how much we appreciate you and all the help you have given so far excited to learn more, every new fur parent will benefit from this training,

Hi Aaron - thanks for your feedback. I am sorry that you had difficulty finding the cost associated with our masterclass on our website. The price is actually clearly shown once you scroll down the page a bit and is also mentioned in some of the emails that we had sent to you. Perhaps there was a temporary technical glitch with either our website or with the Internet connection on your device that prevented the entire page from loading which prevented the price from being shown? In addition, I think there must have been a misunderstanding because our email did not promise you an ebook in return for your review here - it specifically said that you simply need to write to our customer service helpdesk in order to get the free ebook (regardless of whether or not you posted your review). In any case, we hope that you have benefited from the ebook. Also, as the FAQ section in our site states, customers are welcome to sign up in order to take advantage of the special offer while it lasts even if their puppies haven't arrived yet, and can write to our helpdesk to delay the start of their training until their puppies arrive.
While I am glad that you loved our training methods, I am sorry that you didn't have a completely positive experience with our site. This doesn't match the experience that any of our other customers have reported (based on the more than 1400 positive reviews we currently have on Sitejabber) but nonetheless, I am going to forward your feedback to our marketing team so that they can use it to improve our website for future customers. Thank you.
