My sensitive Rumi
June 12, 2026

My rescue German Shepherd/Malinois puppy(
Now 10 months old) is a brilliant, sensitive 50 pound ball of love, energy and mischief.
J9 K9 was the perfect place for me to find the support that I need to give myself and my precious doggy a happy life together….
Professional training with a giant heart and lots of joy…. I highly recommend Janine and her staff.

Very nice presentation
June 6, 2026

Very easy to follow but don't make the same mistake I did. I have not yet even gotten my dog and was doing some preplanning. Problem is you must sign up right away and of course I was unable to do that since I did not have a dog secured yet.

The free training workshop
June 4, 2026

Very good. Video showed me what to change when my dog pulls when walking him to get him to stop. He still tries to challenge me occasionally but as soon as I change directions he quits.

K9 Training
May 29, 2026

Have been researching various dog training programs and found this program and knew it would be right for my new puppy. Their free program is most helpful and being retired and on a fixed income, I truly appreciated it. Thank you for what you do to help us dog parents!

Really great clear training
May 23, 2026

My dog was a butthead of a teenager, and this training has helped him grow a bit calmer and think before he acts or reacts to his surroundings.

Behaviour management
May 20, 2026

I took the free training. I've had two dogs previous. My Ripley though had been on a whole different playing field. It's the walks and barking when she sees other dogs that was the worse problem. I needed to change to become the safety and alpha for her. Just having the rules has helped me. It's about the repetition and the getting into her space to let her knew I was in charge. We are still working on things but knowing I have some rules to follow to change her behaviour up has been a great start. I'm looking forward for the weeks to come.

It is a miracle
May 20, 2026

We did all three of your steps, but the third one was the charm. Our dogs barked all the time. It only took one day and they have stopped barking!

K9 Training Institute Webinar
May 14, 2026

This webinar was very informative, outlining new approaches to managing dog behaviour apart from just the traditional reward and reinforce strategies. The K9 approach is based on understanding dog psychology.

Beyond expectations.
May 12, 2026

K9 training Institute not only helps you train your dog, it helps you understand how a dog thinks and behaves. If everyone would take a small amount of time invest in your dog's obedience, we would have fewer rescues. A well behaved dog is a pleasure and a priceless companion.
Thank you for your commitment to the health and wellbeing of our K9 family members.

Good information
May 10, 2026

I have owned dogs for many years and found the information in the workshop to be spot on. Would attend the complete course but as a retired person can't afford the price, even with a discount.

My pup Sam

Good to be able to read advice and try to put into practice. Sam has a mind of his own so it can be a battle unless I have cheese in my hand.

Great introduction
May 3, 2026

The free dog training workshop contained valuable information and steps to get started on training my dog. The insight provided seemed to work and I will continue to implement it with my dog. I enjoyed the example videos as well. Seeing it work with other dogs made me want to try these training exercises more.
