We have had the absolute best experience with Eric and Franklin K9 Academy. Eric takes the time to truly establish a relationship with your dog which makes all of his training extremely effective. Each week I could see a huge improvement. I really appreciate Eric’s willingness to listen to me when I described our specific needs and my dogs personality and sensitivities. Eric’s calm confidence motivates your dog to listen and follow his lead. I am so thankful to have had such an amazing experience. Eric is the best and I can’t say enough good things about his training !! Thank You

Eric was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! He was so fun to work with and we saw huge improvements after implementing his training. Eric is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and was able to work on basic discipline while tackling our specific concerns with dogs of different age and size. We are so thrilled with their progress and feel confident with the tools Eric gave us to keep that momentum going!

I cannot say enough good things about Eric and Franklin K9 Academy. We inherited our puppy from a family member and as he grew, he was uncontrollable and BIG! Eric truly was the difference between keeping him and giving him away. Now we can walk him anywhere. Downtown, in dog-friendly stores, and he is a true gentleman dog. We are proud of our pup and grateful for Eric.

Eric has truly been a miracle worker with our high energy puppy! We didn’t even know where to start with structure and training, he is truly an expert! We selected the “made for life” program and I’m thankful everyday that we chose that route. He transformed our little velociraptor pup into a well behaved member of the family. With 4 young children, an obedient dog was a must and he set us up for success with training for our puppy as well as our family. He even took the time to come on a weekend to help our kids understand the importance of training and help them build their confidence. It was amazing to watch him train her weekly, watching her grow every time and become the dog we always have dreamed of. She went from pulling on walks and nipping everyone/everything to getting compliments literally every time we are out on how well behaved she is. All the boxes were checked for me with the completion of this program and he still reaches out to ensure she is on track! If you are getting a dog, especially a high energy dog, Eric is your trainer!! Our family couldn’t be more happy with this decision!

Eric knows dogs so well! We got a rescue and began training with him a few weeks after. He gave clear solutions to try for unwanted behavior and was really flexible with scheduling our training sessions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking in-home dog training may be right for their dog.
