Based in Wilmington, MA, Roman's K9 provides in-home training across Melrose and the surrounding area.
My bulldog stopped pulling after one session with Kurtis. He explained everything clearly and showed me how to maintain the progress at home. Super knowledgeable, structured, and effective. Highly recommend Roman’s K9.
I brought my puppy to Roman and he really was able to give me the basics for my pup. Met with Kurtis 2 weeks ago and we fully nailed down sitting, down, stay, and paw. So grateful and glad I met Kurtis. Cheers!!!
I was having such a difficult time getting my GS to listen to me. Kurtis had my puppy following basic commands almost immediately, and he showed me how to take control. I had tried dog-training classes without success, partly I think because the dogs just want to socialize and have fun (yes, my GS is female lol). Kurtis comes to your house to train your dog, which is more calming for the dog. …
