“My dog means everything to me! I need an expert who can help us.”
If you’ve been having difficulty managing your dog and feeling frustrated, things seem to be getting worse, and maybe you’ve even tried other trainers without success, then you’ve come to the right place.
With over 27 years of canine behavior training experience, including the use of current best practices, and a deep understanding of what you’re going through, I can help you turn things around.
Here’s how I can help
Behavior Assessment
A comprehensive behavior assessment can be done at your home or my training building. We’ll identify the areas needing improvement and establish a detailed training plan to move forward.
Private
Sessions
One-on-one sessions in the privacy of your home, at my training building, or in public venues based on what will best achieve our training plan goals. Each session is specifically tailored to you and your dog’s needs.
Group
Sessions
Group training sessions may be held at my training building or a public venue. These sessions have you working on specific tasks around other dogs that are designed to build resilience and enhance cognition in each dog.

As a state police canine handler, I’ve witnessed firsthand the impact of dogs when we tracked lost children or located family members suffering from Alzheimer’s. Reuniting families was an unforgettable experience. I was able to provide support and comfort when people needed it most.
On other occasions, my canine partners and I went into harm's way for the safety of others. I had the opportunity to be a part of a community of handlers who selflessly gave everything to those in need.
As a service dog trainer, I teach dogs to assist with life-changing services. I was once asked to train a dog to detect walnuts due to a child suffering a severe hypoallergenic and respiratory response to them, requiring immediate overnight emergency medical care. I can also teach dogs to respond to anxiety and PTSD.
I enjoy working with families and creating relationships with their dogs that will bring great memories for years to come.
As an instructor teaching everyone from police officers, canine handlers, and SWAT personnel to college students and everyday dog owners, I take pride in having dogs perform at their best no matter what the situation or need.

Whether working a police dog through the terror attacks on September 11th, teaching the youth of today, or working on a particularly challenging situation with your pet, Kevin is the person you want in your corner. His dedication to a successful outcome is only surpassed by his genuine concern for his clients and their pets. I recommend his services most highly and without reservation; he will not disappoint you.”
