RJ did a very capable job at training my puppy for a number of commands. The dog has become much easier to handle, following the training.

I can’t thank RJ enough for the awesome work he did with our girl Sadie! In just 4 sessions she has made a complete turnaround… from lunging and barking at other dogs, to obediently awaiting my command, we are so happy with the results! He also gave me tips and tricks to help me with training her at home! I highly recommend him, he did fantastic!

R J. is an excellent trainer. He worked with our dog on the issues we were having (she's a big dog and we needed her to pull less on walks and be less reactive to other animals). R.J. trained her well and he explained everything to my wife and me clearly and patiently. I highly recommend K9Rj!

RJ is an amazing dog trainer! My dog, Bear, was very aggressive toward people and other dogs, but within the first visit, he learned basic commands. Over just a few sessions, Bear improved drastically—following commands 100% of the time and calmly interacting with other dogs. RJ’s methods are clear, effective, and personalized, and he always kept me informed on what to do to continue Bear’s progress. Bear hit his goals even faster than expected, and I now feel confident taking him out in public. Highly recommend RJ for anything from basic training to solving tough behavior issues!

2 weeks ago I had a dog (6mo the old), I couldn’t even walk to mail box without her pulling me down…. Complete turn around with RJ training and then training me how to work with her♥️
