Rosie and RJ are amazing! I had them working with my dogs to adjust to a move to Lisbon. They were more accustomed to ducks in Sparrows Point than cars and people. After 7 days in our new city I can honestly say my dogs (and I) would not have made it without them. They trained them to behave in ways I did not even think of. They sit entering and exiting doors, lay down at cafes, and became accustom to the hustle and bustle of the city - a miracle - they no longer bark - an absolute must in apartment living. RJ and Rosie's calm and consistent training helped my scared mini schnauzer, Einstein, become confident and comfortable in just about any situation. Calm on Command is truly an incredible place to help your dog and you have a better life together!

RJ and Rosie are a rare gift. They truly speak canine and connected with our dogs in a way I have never seen in another person or trainer. Their empathy and compassion combined with their insight and skill make them the perfect leaders and trainers —especially for problem pups and their families. They connected with our difficult rescues in a way nobody else has been able to and gave them — and us— the confidence and skills to find their inner calm and their purpose. There are no words to express our gratitude for Calm on Command and what RJ and Rosie have done for our pups and and our family. I cannot recommend Calm on Command highly enough. We trusted them with our babies and they delivered beyond our expectations. We are eternally grateful and without adequate words to express our appreciation.
UPDATE: Having just adopted a new pup we cannot wait to work with RJ and Rosie again and know that Skywalker will love them and learn as much as our other fur babies. Money well spent and best thing we ever did for our dogs and family.

Rosie and RJ are simply phenomenal. They worked with my energetic and impulsive 2-year old puppy for a 4-week boot camp and he came home with all of the delightful personality he always had but ALSO with incredible impulse control. They paid close attention to the goals I had laid out in the intake form and met them all with flying colors. I am enjoying having a dog more now. And though I’m still doing a lot of work with him, I could NOT have done it without their guidance and work with him themselves. The training they taught me to do has greatly increased my engagement with my pup and he and I are both so much happier. Don’t hesitate. They are WONDERFUL.

I really can’t say enough good things about Rj and Rosie. They are so good at what they do and have such patience and understanding for dogs and their owners! I did private training with them for my dog Winnie who is a rescue with extreme anxiety. She’s grown leaps and bounds with their help. They’ve taught me the fundamentals that I can continue to work on with her and she is getting better and better. They also really went above and beyond with the time they spent with her offering me extra help just because they saw a need for it with her. I definitely them!

Rosie & RJ are the best dog trainers we could have asked for! We started taking our puppy to them when she was 4 months old and 3 months later, we are so impressed with how far she’s come - largely in part to the instructions Calm on Command K9 have given us.
They make themselves available for questions outside of lessons, are responsive, and clearly explain the “why” / “how” for whatever lesson we’re working on. They also care about our dog and are invested in her improvement. We’re confident that as we continue to work with them, our pup will be one that listens to us, is well behaved, and most importantly, happy because of the foundation RJ & Rosie have helped us build for her.
