FRANKLIN K9 ACADEMY

IN HOME DOG TRAINING

 HELPING FAMILIES ENJOY THEIR DOG THE WAY THEY ALWAYS HOPED they WOULD



Does your dog not come when you call them?

Does your dog pull on the leash when you walk?

Does your dog jump on everything and you're embarrassed to have people over?

You're a phone call away from your dog coming to you when you call, walking right next to you on walks, and to have people over again without being embarrassed.

Nickolas Jones

Our dog got way bigger than we expected.  He is a 95lb lab with tons of energy.  We were struggling with training, walking, and general behavior.   We had 6 sessions with Eric, and we had a whole new dog.  He even stays with us off leash.  He will sit, lay, place, and listen better than any of our previous dogs.  I highly recommend this company.

J. Arrington

Eric is professional, friendly, and an exceptional dog trainer! Our dog Milo was pretty wild, however after a few sessions with Eric Milo was responding to several commands and overall, more well behaved! He is great at checking in after sessions and answering any questions I had. If you are looking for an incredible dog trainer, Eric at Franklin K9 is the way to go!

MEET YOUR TRAINER

Hey there! I’m Eric and like you, I love dogs. Along with being a certified dog trainer I have been a teacher and coach over the past 25 years. 


I’ve been where you are right now.  When we first got my rescue cattle dog Rosie, my wife didn’t love her and Rosie didn’t like my three children. The kids were excited to have a new dog to play with and go for walks. Well, she only liked and played with me and she pulled like a horse on walks. Through this experience I realized how much of your day-to-day life is affected by your dog’s behavior.  You want to enjoy having a dog.  Finding the solution eventually led me to this career, where it’s been so rewarding to help others experience this, too. 


My goal as a dog trainer is to help dog owners with stress that comes from your dog not listening to you, pulling on walks, jumping on people and counters, and generally causing day to day life troubles. The empathy I have with my clients is because I WAS them… frustrated, embarrassed, or sleeping in the other room because the dog wouldn’t be quiet.


My teaching and coaching background helps me stay calm, confident, with clear positive communication with my clients.  This also means we can follow step by step processes and keep things simple. Your dog will be just as awesome, but listen at the same time!


The rest of the story though… Rosie became an amazing dog for our family! We could go for off leash walks in the morning. She would listen across an open field, sitting and laying down when I asked her to (even from far away). 
Ask me to show you the video at our first lesson!
