What K9TI says the free workshop covers

K9 Training Institute says the free workshop introduces approaches for these everyday challenges:

  • Potty training and housebreaking foundations
  • Leash pulling, recall, jumping, and excitement
  • Barking and calmer greetings
  • Puppy focus around everyday distractions

About the presenters: According to K9TI, the workshop is presented by Dr. Alexa Diaz, whom it describes as having a PhD in animal behavior and more than 20 years of service-dog training experience, alongside former Animal Planet host Eric Presnall. These credentials are supplied by K9TI and have not been independently verified by The Puppy Playbook.

What this free workshop helps you decide

Puppy training advice can feel noisy and contradictory. Use this free workshop to understand one structured approach, compare it with your values, and decide whether you want to go further.

1

Understand the framework

See how the trainer organizes the problem before deciding whether the approach deserves more of your time.

2

Check the fit

Compare the methods with your puppy’s needs, your household, and your commitment to humane training.

3

Choose your next step

Finish with a clearer choice: use the free ideas, explore the paid option, or seek individualized professional help.

Our honest editorial note

We are sharing this third-party workshop as an optional resource—not a promise of results or a blanket endorsement.

  • K9TI’s public materials discuss positive-reinforcement tools, including clicker training, counterconditioning, and gradual desensitization.
  • The Puppy Playbook has not personally tested the complete paid curriculum.
  • Avoid techniques that frighten, hurt, or overwhelm your puppy. For aggression, severe fear, sudden behavior changes, or safety concerns, consult a qualified veterinarian or credentialed behavior professional.
