He specializes in positive, patient methods without harsh corrections and adapts his approach for dogs with special needs, including those that are deaf, blind, or highly anxious. Ken also provides AKC Canine Good Citizen and S.T.A.R. Puppy certification programs, helping dogs become well-mannered community members. His services include behavior consulting, basic obedience, loose leash walking, and basic agility training, with follow-up support via text and flexible scheduling, including visits to public locations like dog parks or stores for real-world socialization.

Ken’s training emphasizes building trust and strengthening the bond between owner and dog, with hands-on guidance for owners to continue progress at home. He works with all dog sizes and types, including large breeds like Cane Corsos and small breeds like Chihuahuas, and has successfully trained rescue dogs transitioning to new homes.
