MEET THE FOUNDER
Twahlee Rollins
Recognized by New York Magazine as Best Dog Training (2015) · Featured on Netflix’s Canine Intervention · Founder of Metro Dog Training
Twahlee Rollins is the founder of Metro Dog Training and an experienced canine and puppy trainer. His work is grounded in clear communication, structure, and practical dog management—helping owners build skills they can rely on long after formal training ends.
He developed and refined his training foundation while working with California K9 Solutions (Cali K9), gaining extensive hands-on experience training hundreds of dogs and puppies across a wide range of obedience and behavioral challenges. That experience shaped a system focused not only on improving dogs, but on improving how people handle, guide, and manage them in real-world environments.
At the core of Metro Dog Training is the belief that lasting change comes from clarity and consistency. Twahlee’s approach emphasizes handler skill, timing, leash use, and everyday management—giving owners the tools to communicate clearly and maintain structure beyond formal training sessions.
In 2024, Metro Dog Training expanded with the opening of a dedicated training facility, allowing structured training and daycare services to operate under one roof. This expansion supports consistency, reinforcement, and continued development for both dogs and handlers.

What They Say
Discover how our personalized approach has made a difference for our clients and their furry friends!
We strongly recommend Twahlee and his Metro Dog Training! As he told us, dogs in all stages are trainable, not only a puppy, we are thinking of going back to class when Takito reaches certain age to reinforce his behavior.

Twahlee is an INCREDIBLE trainer. I can’t say enough good things about this program. Well worth every penny. Twahlee is thorough in explaining what to do and why we do it when it comes to training. Our dog Olive was an anxious mess before we started her training. And now she is more confident than ever before. Even her daycare has made comments about how more confident and relaxed she is. I would give 6/5 stars if I could.

Life-changing. That’s what Twahlee and Metro Dog Training was for us and our rescue dog, Mia. She has severe anxiety and he helped her transform from a dog who likes to hide, into a courageous little dog who sought opportunities to explore the world – people, parks, car trips, store trips, etc . Almost as importantly, he taught us to accept her for who she was, and helped us realize how hard she was trying. This helped us see how far she had truly come with the training.
