I was drawn to this because I read an article on it and explored the trainings. But there are red flags all over this institution. Why would you say you break a dog of anxiety; why would you claim advanced behavioral method when you are using shock collars according to your website? Breaking an animal of any habit is maybe something a farm animal like a horse has done to it and it’s not a modern humane method. I get you grew up in poverty and there can be money in the animal business; but also your replies are defensive. Why use an e collar or even have a class on it when it’s a rights violation can’t be used on puppies and should not be used on special needs dogs or seniors? But claim to have an advanced method which is like a dog whisperer when you use e collars. Also the newspapers that support this place should also be boycotted. “Abuse” starts small. E collars are a small special form of a torture device that can cause burns and other issues. Get your facts straight. & dog mussels? In my opinion anyone who keeps more than four dogs confined or boarding unless the facility is licensed is in it for the money. And yes this place had employees, but if you are taking more dogs than you can care for safely is this about the dogs or profit? This place is being touted as revolutionary; but its uses mussels and e collars some of the most ancient and archaic methods. You don’t break dogs of habits. That’s for horses and probably should not be used for them either its inhumane. I don’t care what anyone says the muzzle should not be overused it’s not a humane tool. It was also used on slaves would that be viewed as humane no so why use them on a dog? The reason this place takes tough cases is because they muzzle abs shock them into submission according to all research.

I recently completed and passed Method K9’s Level 1 Certification, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. This program didn’t just help me grow as an upcoming trainer — it pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow as a person, too. This isn’t your typical “online course.” Yes, there are videos, tests & modules, but you are also provided with business coaching, which is something that is extremely helpful! But the live monthly group coaching sessions truly set it apart for me. They gave me a sense of community and reminded me that you’re never doing this alone. And any time I had questions outside of those live sessions, the support went above and beyond. I received detailed video responses or emails that broke things down clearly and thoroughly. I felt supported every step of the way. I’m incredibly proud of this milestone and can’t wait to continue my journey with Method K9 as I move on to my Level 2 Certification!

At my wits’ end with my dog! I struggled to train my puppy, so I sent him to a special training school. It helped a little, but not enough. Then I found Method K9 online and decided to try their certification course. Wow, what a difference! My dog completely changed. He’s calm, happy, and content. While still maintaining his goofy personality. The program is so well organized and easy to follow. Everything they promise is exactly what you get. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re on the fence, get the program. Future you (and your dog) will be so glad you did!

I’m currently enrolled in the Level One program at Method K9. I chose Method K9 after watching Stephany’s videos—the way she teaches resonated with me in a way I hadn’t experienced with any other program. I’ve had the same positive experience watching Hope’s videos, and I have to give special thanks to Kari, who’s been incredibly responsive to my emails and calls and has been extremely helpful throughout. The program offers monthly Q&A sessions and access to hundreds of videos, which have far exceeded my expectations. This is truly a five-star program, and I look forward to continuing my journey with Stephany, Hope, and Kari. Best,
Tony
