In-Home Dog Training for Wakefield
Looking for a dog trainer in Wakefield, MA? Roman's K9 offers private, in-home training built around your dog, your schedule and the real places you walk every day.
Few places test a dog's manners like a busy afternoon at Lake Quannapowitt, with walkers, runners, strollers, bikes and dogs everywhere. Wakefield owners want a dog that can walk the lake calmly and enjoy downtown without pulling, barking or lunging.

The loop around Lake Quannapowitt is a perfect real-world classroom, and nearby Breakheart Reservation is great for trail recall and off-leash proofing.

I am the owner of a 2yr old fearful/reactive German Shepard named Roxie. I have been working with Kurtis for a few weeks now and I am very impressed at the results he has helped us achieve. Much easier walks, taught me to effectively correct her reactivity, obedience training progressing well. We both look forward to working more with Kurtis!
Kurtis is professional, knowledgeable and dedicated. He is the first of many trainers that was finally able to rid my GSD of his dog reactivity and I’m really appreciative. He treats my dog like his own and I would recommend him to anyone!
Kurtis was amazing with my dog! Benny can be a pain with leash pulling but even after one session with Kurtis, he was immediately much better! Kurtis was extremely professional and passionate and genuinely cares about the success of the dogs and the owners. Kurtis also took the time to teach me how to maintain this progress at home which was fantastic. …
