Eric with Franklin K9 Academy was amazing with my loud and skittish new pup and very patient with her Mom (me). He has a gentle way with his training method and had her behavior drastically improved in just a couple of sessions. So impressed and would recommend him highly!!!

I highly recommend Franklin K9 Academy for in home dog training. Eric was great to work with. My dog is very shy and timid around new people, especially males. Eric was able to gain her trust and train her to go on walks without pulling, to sit, lay and place. Eric was very clear and patient with her. I originally signed up for 6 sessions but, in 4 sessions she learned to do everything that I wanted her to do. Again, I highly recommend Eric for anyone that is needing a dog trainer. Thank you! 😊

Eric was absolutely amazing. After our first conversation over the phone to determine what training would be like, I already felt a massive sense of relief that I was getting the right help for my bassets. After our first session, my husband came home from work, and I showed him what we learned. He said, "WOW, he did that in an hour??" We had six sessions, and every single one led to amazing improvements in the dogs, and me! Eric is so patient, kind and reassuring, and I couldn't have been more blessed to have found him. He felt more like a good friend than a trainer. I highly recommend Eric for your animals!

Eric with Franklin K9 Academy is an amazing dog trainer! When we first adopted our pup, we were in over our head with a few of her behaviors. After our first training session, we noticed quick improvements in her behavior right away. He was always so loving and kind to both of our dogs and does a great job at teaching us (as the owners) about what to do to keep practicing the skills that were taught. He was even willing to lend some of his own tools (collars, leashes) to us for the benefit of our pup. I highly recommend Eric for any of your dog training needs!
