Super Helpful
December 29, 2025

I'm aware we found our dog in a very unhealthy situation, so I have good reason to suspect he has trauma triggers. Someone did care about him at some point though, because he came pretty much trained. The only thing I struggle with is the whining. Some days it's minimal, others it's constant; the decibel level gives me a migraine almost immediately. Also, as he grows old (we suspect he's maybe 4ish?) he's starting to ignore things he never has before in the 2 years we've had him. I wish I could commit to the full training - trust me - it's just not possible right now. If you ever have scholarships available, please let me know! Kari

K9. If you need help, this is your day!
December 29, 2025

I have not bought the program. I am currently in between dog ownership. BUT I have a family member that is working through the K9 program with a dog that will be a service dog. I am aware with the on-ground procedures that go into a service dog and this online program aligns perfectly with those procedures. Even if you do not need a service dog, everyone needs a dog with some manners instead of being out of control around people. I recommend this product because even the sample online video offers many ways to help train a dog, young or old, that would make people astonished with your pet. Dog owners should spend time with their pet; K9 guides people in many areas for even working owners to have well-manners dogs.

Effective and simple
December 28, 2025

The introductory recording to the K9 Training Institute is so helpful. I can't wait to try it on my dog because I believe based on the evidence they presented during the recording that my dog will respond quickly to these techniques.

I am very interested in joining an online class that you have going that is on special but I have to wait until my pension comes in. I want my dog to be very obedient and of course totally house trained. She is part Yorkie and part pomeranian so I am told they learn really fast. I kind of believe it she seems very smart.

They were they were clear, professional, and knowledgeable, and seemed very interested in my dog, which impressed me when I receive my puppy. I plan on using them to help train her. They seem very trustworthy, which means a lot to me.

The things I learned
December 14, 2025

I have a fairly well behaved dog and now we have a new puppy. I was hoping by watching this video it would help make Larry's training a good experience. I believe that will be the case. Also after watching the video I believe there have been somethings we have changed with our adult dog and he has been very receptive.

Life saver
December 10, 2025

We have a German Shepherd who runs the house and I can't control her. I've watched the video and tried a few of the many tips given and it worked! Obviously, we still have a long way to go, but I'm excited to train her fully. Thank you!

Great training
December 8, 2025

We got our new puppy a week ago. He is 8 weeks old and full of life (and teeth). Your help has been wonderful. We are still working on the biting but he is getting better every day.

Astonished
December 4, 2025

My companion, Alex, she has done extremely well with the training. She was a 17 week old German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois with absolutely no training at all. I have had her for 3 weeks today. She now walks on a leash obeying the command "heel" very well. She only peed in the house 3 times in her first two days here. She plays "fetch" from the teachings she learned. Now we can start on some of the "in house" behavior. I have high hopes for her K9 Training endevors.

The training information was the best I've found to date. It goes into detail of how to begin training my dog Ozzy. Only 10 to 15 minutes a day spent on training. I learned the key is being consistent. Ozzy has been receptive to the techniques and is better behaved already.

Great and helpful advice
December 2, 2025

I have not signed up for the course yet, as I'm pending adoption, but I watched the entire video and I'm still drawing on what I learned from it. Upon adoption, I will pursue this further as I thought it was a great presentation.

A NEW PUPPY
November 30, 2025

Every time I look at your training section I see exactly what I have been grappling with as we train our new puppy, Feta! She's a white female, our first, German Shepherd and she's so sweet! Our black, GS, Diesel, crossed the rainbow bridge suddenly in August. He was only 4 years old. Feta is 3 months old so y'all know what we're dealing with! I count on K9 Training to help us out every step of the way. Easy to follow instructions. Just need bucketfuls of patience! Thanks K9 Trainer!

My big loveable friend Molly
November 28, 2025

Molly is a 5 year old Great Pyrenees weighting over a hundred pounds with a mind of her own and. That being said let me bring you up to date on her training so far. We are working with the Masters class and have come through the first couple of weeks and (more). She is doing very well. Although with the 10 week class, this could take a little bit longer than some other dogs. But as of today we are very happy with the program and look forward to completion. The video programs are very helpful and make the course that much easier to follow. Let me finish with anyone having a Pyrenees or reading about them they will know they have their own mind and she is a challenge, but we are working through the program and happy to date. Great program and Eric is very good.

Staff are Amazing
November 16, 2025

When I first saw the advertisement, I called and had many questions about training and service dog qualifications. The staff were patient and understanding. They answered all my questions and offered assistance anytime I needed it.
