Based in Wilmington, MA, Roman's K9 provides in-home training across Chelmsford and the surrounding area.
Kurtis has been absolutely incredible for Chuck. He helped completely fix Chuck’s reactivity toward other dogs, bikes, and people, and taught him how to walk calmly on a leash without pulling — something I honestly didn’t think we’d achieve this quickly. Beyond the results, Kurtis is genuinely so nice, patient, and easy to work with. …
Kurtis doesn't just work with dogs, he trained us owners.. He explained the why behind every command and correction, set clear expectations, and held me accountable for practicing between sessions. Nothing was gimmicky; it was consistent, structured, and built on the dog understanding what was being asked. …
Kurtis at Roman’s K9 is the real deal. My 3-year-old Shepherd, Scout, blew through basic obedience almost instantly with him, and he took her straight into distraction-proofed obedience — she holds commands around other dogs, people, whatever’s going on. He’s extremely knowledgeable, and just as importantly, he trains you as much as the dog. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. …
