The K9 Training Institute is a social impact organization that was formed to improve the relationship that dog owners around the world have with their pets.
We teach a large number of dog owners every year on the very best ways to train their dogs based on our own research on animal behavior.
We are especially passionate about training rescued dogs and giving them a second chance at finding a loving and caring family.
The company has garnered a positive reputation for its effective dog training techniques, with many customers noting significant improvements in their pets' behavior through the provided resources. The training methods, emphasizing operant conditioning and practical strategies, resonate well with users, fostering a sense of joy in the training process. However, a recurring concern is the affordability of the programs, as several customers express difficulty in accessing paid resources due to financial constraints. Overall, the company is viewed favorably for its informative content and supportive approach, yet it may benefit from exploring more accessible pricing options to enhance customer satisfaction.

Listened to the free seminar and implemented the three suggestions with our 14 weeks old foster puppy. We have seen immediate improvement in his progress. Definitely recommend K9 Training Institute and their calm, kind, positive training style.
While looking online for dog training information I came across K9 Training Institute and decided to check it out. I was able to check it out without any obligations. I found the material to be very professionally put together and informative. I found it be different than other classes I have been involved in in the past. While I haven't yet signed up for the course I am considering doing so. I've taken a previous puppy to classes in person but not online. I feel from what I've seen so far K9 Training Institute offers valuable information for someone wanting to train their dog.
We had the opportunity to try a couple of the things we saw in the video with our border collie, Flame. Specifically, the tugging on the leash and the jumping up on people. It's been four days since we started implementing them, and we are already seeing improvement. I only wish that there was a lower payment option so we could attend the actual master classes. After Christmas, we are strapped for cash, and making three monthly payments of the $99 was outside our budget, so we lost out on the promotion you had going. We are praying for another opportunity with a discount after we have time to save.
Great workshop giving insight into their overall training methods for service dogs. Worth checking out. You'll even learn a few things!
Just started training videos. They were easy to understand and implement the training immediately.the videos not only give you step by step instructions but also provides the rational behind the training for dog owners to understand dog behavior which reinforces the training aspect. Best birthday gift ever. My dog Parker and future adopted dog Daisy and myself appreciate this gift. A calm doggy home makes a happy home. 🙏
My dog Jaxie is 10 months old. We rescued her from a shelter at the age of 6 months. She is a black lab mix and is very overactive when I come home from work. She basically malles me for minutes greeting me. I applied your technique ( of negative reinforcement I believe?) by not reacting to her but walking by, turning my back quietly, and waiting until she sat and showed the appropriate calm behavior and it was like a miracle! THank you so much, only two days in and she is a different dog I appreciate your help SO MUCH!
Our experience was extraordinary we all felt really cared for, especially Elvis so loved! Elvis returned home with high self esteem, ready to share his training with us, showing us how much he learned and so proud of it!
A "for ever"learning curb for Elvis,
We enjoy him and all he knows and how to listen to us! Our lives can be shared with our dog every day!
For ever we thank this wonderful training team at K9.

I have been through training before but not to this degree. So far the entire course has trained me to actually know my dog and his needs.
I cannot believe the difference just one day has made with Lola, my 14 month old german shepherd. She was giving me bruises on my arms from what I called love bites. I used to tell her NO! And push her away. That didn't help at all! Using your technique of ignoring her and turning my back to her, she got it! She not only stopped the love bites, she doesn't try to chew on my grown daughters feet either! She is also much calmer. It is almost like she was trained before but I got her from a shelter.
The free workshop offered contained very useful tips as we have started our journey with an 8 week old puppy! The blog posts also offered free have been some of the most useful training advice we have read online. Thank you!
I have a rescue who is in high anxiety mode almost all the time. She loves to lick and jump on you. I have started to implement the walk away and it's working. She is a work in progress. Thank you!
Found ot very interesting especially about the dogs need to have something to do.
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
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.
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.
My experience with K9 Training Institute has been wonderful. Lots of information and tips to help my rescue, Petra, learn what is expected of her in and out of our home. We're very grateful for all of the dedication and effort put into all of the content and are excited to continue to implement all of it day by day going forward! 10/10!
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 first 20 minutes of the video is filled with practical and helpful advice for training a dog. It was clear and included great demonstration videos.
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.
