Testimonials

Kinga Ewa is a remarkable and highly professional dog trainer and is truly an asset to the MK9s Service Dogs’ training team. As a trainer with over twelve years experience working in the dog training industry I can unequivocally say that Kinga is one of the best trainers I have had the privlege to work with. I have known Kinga in a professional capacity since July 2019. Her passion for having a successful working relationship with both the client and the dog is demonstrated everytime she has a training session. Her vast experience with training dogs allows her to quickly adapt and modify a training plan to ensure that both members of the team will have a postive experince in that session. She has a wonderful way of balancing both the canine and human needs and is able to ensure that both are being met successfully.
I would highly recommend Kinga as a trainer and a service dog trainer. She is very skilled at what she does and it has been a privilege to work with her. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.
– Michele Khol – MK9s Service Dogs, Director of Operations and K9 Programs

Kinga is amazing – not only with dogs, but with their people. She’s particularly adept at fostering deeper connections between the dog and it’s person. I saw this in action last year – she had two huge dogs with her and was working with a special needs six-year-old who was terrified of dogs. She got down to the child’s level to talk with him, didn’t push him to do anything he didn’t want to do, just talked with him about dogs, and his thoughts on dogs. Kinga has a calming presence that’s hard to describe, but it’s part of what makes her a great trainer. I’m still not sure how she did this, but within minutes the child choose to go up to one of the dogs and pet him (trust me, this was a BIG deal).
She’s also just a wonderful person. In addition to working with her private clients, she volunteers her time training service dogs for Veterans.
