At Mr. Dog Training I want you and your dog(s) to reach their full potential. One of the most effective ways of doing this is learning how to properly communicate with your canine companion and learning to listen to them. When pets and people aren’t speaking the same language, it can be frustrating. Just like with any good relationship, communication is key! I believe training should be fun, for both you and your dog, and that training with your dog should help create a strong, lasting relationship built on respect and trust. I take pride in providing a safe, fun, and compassionate environment to learn in.

Hi everyone, my name is Kris Potter, owner of Kompletely K-9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation in Maine.

I want you to have the experience of having a calm and well behaved dog. Over the years my own dogs have had issues and challenges ranging from bad leash manners to fear, anxiety and aggression issues. Through my volunteer work helping shelter/rescue dogs, I have seen many being relinquished due to varying degrees of behavioral problems. I have seen many other dog owners just like you struggling, becoming frustrated, and feeling hopeless. Contact us today for help.
