About
Our Founder has several decades of training experience as well as two Masters Degrees: Psychology/ Behavioral Medicine and Applied Animal Behavior/ Canine Ethology. Unlike other trainers, we do not break up Obedience into separate courses of "Basic" and "Advanced", but teach Obedience as one complete course; accomplished in 8-12 weeks on average and resulting in dogs that are calm, stable and reliable on or off leash in any environment or situation. Dogs trained in this fashion are attentive to the owner at all times regardless of distraction and imbued with a sense of responsibilty.
The most gratifying aspect of our business is the resolution of misunderstanding of the nature of our dogs and their specific needs in our relationship with them. Watching both owner and dog realize a calm assurance and confidence in their partnership is an amazing process. Their resulting ability to go anywhere and really share companionship without the typical worries of the usual "bad" behaviors allows our clients to share all their time, anywhere with their dogs.

I first contacted Jack for behavioral consult to introduce a new dog into our family. I was very impressed by his expertise and knowledge of ethological-based training methods. I continued to train both of my dogs under his program. In addition, under his tuteledge, I became a certified obedience trainer for K-9 Kollege of Maryland. His method produces calm, attentive dogs unlike many of the other methods I have tried (e.g., treat and clicker training).

Jack Eagan is a dedicated, professional and skillful dog (people) trainer. He explains his methodology and his approach to training, shows you the skill, then observes you and provides helpful hints as to how to handle the dog. He is available by phone to answer questions and he will come to your house to offer very specific recommendations to train your dog to achieve the results you desire. I highly endorse his knowledge, skills, and abilities.

My husband and I don't have enough good things to say about K-9 Kollege. The trainers have been able to help us with our adopted pups and their knowledge has been indispensable. We only wish we knew about them before bringing home our first rescue. Luckily the trainers stepped right in to help correct some concerning behaviors after having our first for just a few months. What was prob most enjoyable was getting to watch each pup grow progressively more confident. We've adopted 2 nervous dogs, both in different ways, and now we have 2 of the most confident and we'll trained dogs. We get compliments wherever we go on how well behave they are. They sure make our lives more enjoyable!

If you are looking for the trainer who can make the impossible possible, Jack is your trainer. My dog Zeus (German Pinscher) was a vicious dog with multiple behavioral problems. We tried different trainers, but we thought things were hopeless. After losing all hope, we were at the point of returning Zeus back to his breeder, but we decided to give one last try and hired Jack. Thanks to his methodology and vast experience, we started to see changes almost immediately, after the very first class. His personal commitment and dedication to classes is also outstanding. He loves dogs (he has his own pack of 8), he loves teaching and he is just a very, very good person. Therefore, if you are looking not for just a dog trainer, but for a good one with a very positive personality and with broad experience, Jack is for you.

Jack is truly an expert in dog behavior. My wife and I quickly learned the training was just as much about helping us learn how our dog thinks and why he behaves the way he does as it was for our dog. We have made great progress in the process. It was very encouraging to see such quick results in our dog's behavior after we learned a few important techniques and put them into practice. We highly recommend K-9 Kollege of MD.
