Based in Wilmington, MA, Roman's K9 provides in-home training across Andover and the surrounding area.
Before Roman's K9, Princess was reactive to dogs and humans. We couldn't have people over because even in her cage, she would growl, bark, and lunge. You couldn't hear anything besides her aggressive barking, and she would not stop. Our daughter was afraid of her, because Princess had growled and snapped at her multiple times. After just one session with Roman's K9, Princess was a completely different dog. …

Nothing was gimmicky; it was consistent, structured, and built on the dog understanding what was being asked. …
