Introduction: Training is so much more than just sit, stay, come, and down. It is a journey in which you and your dog learn to communicate with each other in a clear and effective manner, building a lasting bond based on trust and mutual respect. From puppies to adult dogs, docile to aggressive dogs, K9 THIS has the training techniques, depth of knowledge, and experience to successfully shape your dog's behavior using positive motivation and productive engagement. Train with Rosemarie to maximize your dog's potential and guide your dog to becoming a balanced and fully integrated member of the family. Your dogs will be taught manners to fit seamlessly into your busy life style. Rosemarie's passion for dog training began as a child watching her mother handle and train their family dogs; she began working obedience patterns in the backyard. Eventually she became a professional dog handler and trainer for law enforcement and the Department of Defense. Rosemarie has developed a child safety and dog training program that features hands-on activities related to dog training and dog safety with exciting lessons that increase understanding of dog behavior and promote advocacy on behalf of dogs. She believes that teaching children how to conduct themselves around dogs and basic obedience commands could possibly one day save a child’s life.

Rosemarie helped me learn how to get control of my dog. I had a very unruly lab he was out of control and would not listen to me at all. I was at my wits end. I called Rosemarie and she spent a great amount of time listening to my issues I was having. She made an appointment to meet me and my dog " bogart " and after the first training session there was a big difference in me and my dog. After a few training sessions we are on a great road to a great relationship between Boggie and I. I'm more confident, Boggie is a different dog . I love waking my dog now. Thank you Rosemarie

I can not articulate how absolutely amazing Rosemarie (K9 THIS) was. After speaking on the phone and visiting with several other trainers in the area I was the most impressed and comfortable with Rosemarie. She utilized the most humane positive professional methods to exhibit exceptional obedience in my german shepherd puppy. Not only did she train my puppy but she utilized the same patience and professionalism to train ME how to continue training my pup! I believe that her real life experience as a dog handler assisting our military with her dog handling skills gives her credentials and world class experience that I have not seen elsewhere! I was very pleased and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for a highly skilled, caring dog trainer. I was most impressed by her ability to get faster and better results without utilizing shock collars, choke collars or abusive discipline while training my puppy. It takes an amazingly skilled professional to use the all positive methods that I witnessed and get the results that she provided! I am only surprised that my german shepherd didnt write this review himself by the time she left our home. Absolutely Highly Recommended!

Rosemarie was great! She trained me to train my dog. She spent a lot of time with me to make sure I understood everything she was saying and doing. She addressed my specific concerns about my dog's behavior. I hope to keep in contact with her as I continue to train.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    What to expect: After our initial consultation which includes a brief history of your pet and an assessment of your dogs learning level. I will either come to your home and train your dog on your premises or I can pick your dog up and train your pet at my training academy. Which ever works best for you. My methods for training dogs do not include "electric shock collars", or "common metal spike collars known as pinch collars". All our training methods and procedures involve only positive reinforcement and praise reward.
