TESTIMONIAL:

As a dog trainer who runs mantrailing classes, seminars and workshops for all kinds of dog teams (begginers, advanced, professional and not) I can say that I have seen amazing results in just a couple of days. Tools like the Intensity, Extended Intensity and the Flip have helped many a dog team improve the dog's motivation and help also new dogs understand he game.
Another thing that I love about TKM is that it gives dog and handler a wonderful structure. When they stick to it success is almost granted!
In my opinion any training method must have: MOTIVATION, EMOTION and STRUCTURE. The Kocher Method provides this... and much more!
