Serenity K-9

It was meant to be ! I met Mr. Kevin while he was training a beautiful German Shepherd in HomeDepot, around the same time we rescued a German Shepherd with anxiety and obedience issues and asked Mr. Kevin to help. He came to our facility and evaluated her and her environment and got us started. Turns out we are the ones that need training just as much as the animal. He can reprogram both, you and your animal. Mr. Kevin is very professional and passionate about his work. If he agrees to take you on, consider yourself lucky ! Worth every penny !!

My husband and I recently worked with Kevin from Serenity K9 Training for our two new puppies—a 2-month-old chocolate Labrador female and a 10-month-old black Labrador male, both from the same breeder. Over our 36 years of marriage, we’ve had eight dogs but we’ve always had an older, trained dog to help guide the new puppy… until now. And I’ll admit, it was harder than I remembered! This was our first time ever using a trainer and I’m so grateful we did. The difference it has made in our home and daily life is incredible. I was concerned that a trainer might break a dog’s spirit but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Kevin has the kindest, yet strongest soul. He genuinely loves dogs, and it’s clear this is his passion. He strikes the perfect balance of being firm while also being patient and caring. Kevin came to our home for an initial evaluation and created a customized plan for each dog. He recognized that they are at different stages and have different needs, so he tailored his approach not only to them, but to us as handlers as well. The transformation in both our dogs, and in us, has been remarkable. We feel more confident, more connected and better able to “communicate” with them. I highly recommend Kevin and Serenity K9 Training to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective, and compassionate dog training.

Once you’ve made the investment of adding a dog to your family, your next step should be to contact Kevin at Serenity K9 Training and make the investment in professional training. Kevin will meet with you and listen to learn your goals for your dog and what you want to get out of the training. During your meeting he will observe the dog to see what areas need work and provide you with a recommendation for a training program to meet your objectives. Kevin not only works with the dog, but he also works with you to improve your skills as a handler. This is key to help build the bond between you and your dog and establish yourself as the pack leader. If your dog is doing daily training, he will ask you to video your training exercises with your dog between sessions so he can provide you with feedback and guidance as needed. Our relationship with our dogs has improved dramatically in four weeks. Kevin made all the difference in how my dogs behaved around me and my wife. He gave our dogs the training they needed and he gave us the tools and knowledge to be better handlers and pack leaders. Need specialized training such as introducing your dog to your pool? Kevin can do that too. Kevin has proven himself to be a valuable resource for us when it comes to our dogs. He's the blessing we didn't know we needed and we're grateful to have gotten to know him. Whether you’re a first time dog owner or if you’ve had dogs before, Serenity K9 Training will improve the quality of life for you and your dog.

Serenity K-9 is amazing. Kevin was always available to answer our questions. We recently purchased our Cane Corso puppy, Lucy, and soon realized we would need help training her. Lucy was pretty aggressive even as a young puppy. Kevin explain that that is not uncommon with this breed and that there are special training techniques to overcome the aggressive behavior. Within one session with Kevin we noticed an amazing difference in Lucy’s behavior. Kevin also had to teach us how to properly manage the Cane Corso’s behavior. After four weeks of training Lucy became a well behaved puppy that can easily follow basic commands and enjoys visiting Home Depot, Tractor Supply and other dog friendly stores.
