Ron McKeel founded McKeels Kennels after a negative personal experience with a dog trainer, which inspired him to pursue dog training professionally. He has been training dogs for 6 years and is passionate about strengthening the bond between families and their pets through effective training.

His training philosophy centers on building a dog’s confidence while establishing clear boundaries and rules that are easy for both the dog to learn and the family to maintain at home. He employs a balanced training approach, utilizing both positive and negative reinforcement, as well as positive punishment, to teach commands, modify behavior, and help dogs understand owner cues.

McKeels Kennels offers various training services, including boarding/training packages and private lessons, designed to provide clients with the tools for effective communication with their dogs, ultimately aiming for off-leash reliability. The business also maintains a kennel and provides a community forum for general discussions and customer reviews, alongside video galleries showcasing their training methods.
