K-9 Academy Dog Training School

5/5 stars every time for Tony, his services, and his pooches. I've been going to Tony for about 2 years now, and we've only ever had amazing results. Not only do Tony's methods get results, but he will also answer your questions, explain why you're doing something the way you are, and provide peace of mind. I have now worked with Tony for a 10 year old dog and a < 1 year old pup on obedience, dog reactivity - both fear-based and overly friendly - and for proper introductions within the home. As an anxious person, I feel much calmer after every session. Obedience was incredibly fun and built a great bond between my dogs and I. Introducing the puppy, which I thought would be an wasy task, was NOT. My older dog was a happy boy outside but within the home he would snarl at the new puppy (see

Zodiak is a rescue, he's the 1st dog we ever owned. Tony taught us how to correct certain behaviors and often took calls about issues that came up. I'm very thankful for his patience and knowledge.

Tony is an awesome trainer. His methods are simple and effective. He really understands dogs and explains everything in a straightforward manner. The rest is up to you! I just took my 15 month old German Shepherd to the vet for his checkup and the vet was very impressed by what a good boy he was. My husband and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend!

I came to Tony the same day I picked my adopted lab up from the shelter and we began working on basic obedience. Tony's wealth of knowledge and understanding of dogs is incredible. His method of training works - it was only a matter of minutes before our dog began recognizing commands, and, with consistent work, she has become an obedient and loved part of our family. I can't recommend K9 Academy strongly enough - if I could I'd rate him 10 stars! Any time I hear that someone is having issues with their dog I tell them to go see Tony.

Tony Mercuri the owner of K9 Academy has given me the confidence and knowledge to bond with my dog through training. Tony has great knowledge and an understanding of how a dog thinks and behaves. He has taught me the tools I needed to have a happy, well behaved dog. Tony does all his training with kindness, great praise all the while instilling confidence in you and your dog. When you put together all you and your dog have learned with the basics and continue to advanced you will be amazed at how every step leaves you with a very enjoyable companion. You can tell he is someone with a passion for what he does and he does it very well. If your looking for a great trainer you definitely will not be disappointed.
