Maryland K9 Training

If you’re looking for a dog trainer who truly gets it, look no further than Kyle. From the moment he met my dog, I could tell he wasn’t just another trainer going through the motions—he connected immediately and approached training with both structure and heart. Kyle has a rare gift: he’s calm, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what really sets him apart is his patience—not just with dogs, but with people, too. He explained every step of the process in a way that made sense, tailored sessions to fit my dog’s personality, and followed through with consistent progress.

I am the president of Pitties and Purrs Rescue Inc. Kyle came highly recommended by a mutual friend. Let me say, I was a bit skeptical, I have used many trainers over the years. We take in lots of dogs who have had no training at all, that’s why they’re in shelters. After talking with Kyle, I was first impressed with his confidence. I agreed to meet him with a dog who was returned to the rescue because of his behavior, for an eval. Within the hour, I could tell, Kyle’s form of training would work with our dogs. Since then I have sent several dogs, with their foster families, to Kyle with different behavioral problems. I have never been disappointed and the dogs went on to find their forever homes. I can’t recommend Maryland K9 Training enough. We continue to use them and have a dog entering into his training program next week. This training has saved several dogs who were considered “unadoptable”. If you’re looking for a skilled dog trainer who possesses both honesty and integrity, please call Kyle for an eval for your dog, even if it’s just for basic skills. There’s nothing better than a well trained dog.

I have had dogs for the entire 57 years of my life. I have had many trainers, but there is no doubt , when we found Kyle 3 yrs ago, it changed all of our lives . We originally hired Kyle to help with our daughter’s reactive pitbull. We then hired him to help with training for our golden doodle and our pitbull rescue pup. With our daughter’s dog, Kyle was an expert at problem solving, clear instruction, and techniques that were pivotal for the family. He remains a resource of support. I have referred Kyle to multiple families since we discovered him and have received only positive and grateful feedback . Kyle is an amazing dog trainer . And a really great person . He not only has a depth of understanding of dogs and dog behavior , but his ability to train us in order to teach us how to train our dogs is remarkable . We learned how to train our dog like never before in my life. Our dog is dependable , friendly to all dogs and all people ( including children and babies) , and Kyle instructed us how to train our dog to be a frisbee dog which has brought such joy to her and us . Kyle taught us the importance of Zaja depending on us to keep her safe , instructed us how to accomplish this, and the result is literally the best behaved and healthiest dog we’ve ever had . We feel so fortunate to have him as an instructor. There is noone I could recommend more highly .
