FirstBarkWe had a great experience with Eric! Our two rescue dogs both have had some great successes with their learning and he helped us become more confident teachers too. He was very flexible and always willing to work with our schedules. Would highly recommend!

It does not get any better than Eric. Over the 6 lessons he helped our golden retriever puppy learn the best habits and skills to make our lives and our dog’s life better. He’s also a great person to spend time and work with!
Best dog trainer in Nashville!! Cannot recommend Eric enough, he was so amazing to work with and had very successful training sessions both in home and field trip lessons with our pup.

Absolutely thrilled with the results from Eric! After moving from a home with private yard to a condo setting with shared living space, my pup was really struggling with understanding how to “share his yard” with other dogs. My pup, who loves to play with other dogs out and about or in a park setting, would have a strong reaction when seeing another dog around our condo, (barking, lunging, pulling), which was not a fun experience for anyone. Eric was wonderful at explaining how to handle these situations and help me teach my dog appropriate, calm, and controlled behaviors. We did 6 sessions with Eric over about 4 months and the difference in my dog’s demeanor is amazing. I have mentioned to Eric multiple times how enjoyable it is to walk and explore without the anxiety of wondering what will set my pup off. My dog truly has little to no reaction with other dogs within our complex now—and that peace of mind is the best investment for both me and my pup. I highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to improve their dog's behavior.
Eric with Franklin K9 Academy did an outstanding job with Hazey! Our favorite commands we learned are come, place, heal and sit/stay! We highly recommend calling Eric if you want to enjoy spending more time with a well behaved dog. Night and day difference! We’ll miss you Eric!
