I always raise my voice and tell her no jumping or get down, but now I know that all I have to do is turn my head. So thank you for adding that tip to your message. I would like to know how I can get my dog to calm down since she's hyper. I was wondering if I should take her out on runs or more walks since huskies are meant to be runners and not really stay at home dogs. Is there anything I can or should change that?
This program changed my view of training Lucy. As a retired K-9 officer I thought I knew how to approach teaching Lucy to do what I wanted her to do as a family pet. I know know that there is do much more for me to know and I'm interested to go into the advanced program. Life with Lucy is now so much better. Thanks!
I tried the no barking experience and it worked when ignoring him. I am working on leash training he is not bad because at the rescue they had that a socialization there. I just have to tweek him up a little by changing directions.
I've only received positive and great emails so far with K9 Training Institute. Very instructive and helpful emails filled with vital information about their process and how they can make every dog a better dog. I have nothing to complain about with their emails and their tips to help me train my dog to be the dog I want him to be.
I haven't tried the crate training yet but the book is wonderful in as it explains everything in detail. I'm sure it will work because so far I am following instructions on house breaking my 11 week old puppy and after just 4 days she hasn't gone in the house!
I was very happy to receive constant and thorough guidance in regards to how to train my puppy. I am still waiting for few more weeks to bring my puppy home, but I have a plan in place and I am prepared to do a good job in raising a well trained dog! Thank you all!
Hi I have 2 dogs Max and Ben, Ben is 3 and Max is 1 Max learnt the walking together really quick in 5 min as Ben took about 15 min so that is really a great start we are working on the no jumping, Ben is good but Max is still very playful he will take longer. I cant wait to start the door knocking test
Enjoying the tips and tricks they offer. I have trouble with my pup barking at other dogs and people as they walk by. It can be frustrating at times because she is the sweetest dog and is coming off as an aggrieved one when she barks and pulls towards other dogs and people.
The workshop was very helpful, more than the 4 private lessons that I paid for recently with a private company. They basicly told me that my dog had too many problems and they would discuss with the owner and get back with me. They didn't call back for over a month and then only wanting to know if I wanted to resume training with them.
I wish I had seen this workshop before I paid the money for the private lessons. Which was of not much help at all.
I have learned much more from this free workshop that I am now putting into practice..
We are about to embark on adopting a new pup and this mini training series shed light on proper ways to reinforce behaviour, how to communicate and use language they understand! The information and videos were excellent! Thank you!
I throughly enjoyed the webinar. The training looks easy and promising. I even stopped the video a few times just to make sure I would remember the details
Very impressed. If you think about the premise from the dog's point of view, it makes perfect sense. Dogs (especially Goldens) want to please their master and others. Giving them a job to do is perfect. What was helpful to me was to better understand what the word "job" really means. It can be very simple, like stay down. If they believe they should not get up until they are released, it becomes a job for them, which they like.
This all assumes, of course, that the dog recognizes the owner as the dominant member of the pack - which is where some people encounter problems.
I love the explanations behind the what you teach snd when Rosie is 12 weeks and my goal is to use her as a therapy dog someday. She is doing well with watch and touch. Distractions are distractions. But it takes time snd I have vowed not to get frustrated. The way to stop nipping at me has helped so much-I'm her favorite chew toy
A 4 year old rescue German Spitz with some character flaws and some bad experiences for which the advice given has been unexpectedly totally correct-and some!
From dropping hair to barking/answering the door and now a torn LCN (rear left knee ligament) and expected heavy veterinary costs on the way!
This advice has led us to seeking a physiotherapist (today) as it may not be as bad as we may think. Some weeks of physio will therefore shed a better light on the problem. An operation now/ or later following this physio, would give us time to teach Stevienicks with some of the finer points in training her more following this introductory program and to follow up with the full training course which would only improve her well being for now and for Stevienicks future.
I was glad to learn all I did to help with my new 14 year old Rescue Dog, Lizzie. Thank you for your free online training.
I'm just trying it but so far it's been good. Everything they're telling me makes a lot of sense. My older dog is watching and learning too
Appreciate all the helpful dog training hints. It does take time and commitment.
The training video gave me several clues on why my dog acts the way he does. I'm going to start using some of what I learned, and start saving up for the entire 10 week course!
I watched the training video on non verbal commands, found it logical and helpful. I am putting some tips into practice.
