About Rob
Rob’s actual training experience exceeds over 25 years. He started MTK9 in 1992 in Lexington, MA. His first student was a rescued boxer that a veterinarian called him, “un-trainable” so he recommended a “Pet Psychologist” to the owners. The owners heard about Rob and after meeting him they were impressed enough to hire him. Within three weeks the dog was successfully trained and the new owners could finally enjoy their new companion without the need of any psychologist.
From 1992 until about 1996 Rob continued to have success doing in-home training for families. It wasn’t until then that he got involved with conformation shows and weight pulling when he realized at that point, he could only be considered an Obedience Trainer, not a Dog Trainer. From conformation and weight pulling Rob went on for more experience and learning.
Around 1999 Rob further pursued education, learning protection work. In addition to continuous successful training it is here where he developed relationships and a network of some of the best dog professionals in the world! At the same time Rob purchased his first “working” dog and so the learning progressed tenfold.
Unsatisfied Rob has always been compelled to learn and gain even more experience and knowledge. In order to know dogs and the industry completely one has to be directly involved in every aspect if possible. So during the first several years of building MTK9 Rob worked directly for others in the pet industry. Again he would never be satisfied with just anyone so he had chosen to seek the very best paying his dues in each field. As kennel help and vet assistant the hospital was an accredited hospital and boarding facility for eight years running by AAHA. The groomer he worked for had a customer base of over 1000 clients. In addition a student of MTK9 was a Professor at Tufts Veterinarian School of Medicine, licensed both here in the U.S. and Germany!
His thirst for knowledge continues to this day very much aware that learning never ends. It is this humble attitude that makes MTK9 one of the most sought after facilities for proper training. Here in Texas alone 6, yes SIX other dog trainers have requested and received help training their own dogs from MTK9. Furthermore Rob has been called upon and worked with four different police departments. From handling skills for security K9s to decoy agitation for clubs and/or associations MTK9 remains to be second to none.
