K9 Kenny holds a perfect 5.0 rating from 165 Google reviews, with the owner responding to only 1% of feedback. Clients frequently praise the trainer’s patience, clear communication, and ability to teach owners specific techniques for leash walking, obedience, and behavioral issues. Sessions often include detailed written summaries and homework to reinforce learning at home. The sole negative review cites a lack of responsiveness to an initial phone call, highlighting a potential gap in communication availability despite high satisfaction with the training itself.

We had such a great experience with K9 Kenny! His approach is informative, truly dog-centered, and focused on problem-solving rather than just correcting behaviors.

To start off Kenny is extremely friendly. He is super knowledgeable and we could not have gotten in contact with a better trainer. He was always happy to answer all questions we had regarding our puppy. He was exceptional, having been able to show us the proper way to train our dog to get her to be obedient. I really enjoyed his style of training. It was very informative During the training to clamorous the proper way, and the improper way of doing things, it really has changed the way that our puppy acts on and off the leash. I would definitely recommend Kenny to anybody needing to train their new puppy or older dog. He works with All breeds. I thanks Kenny.

There aren’t enough words for me to describe how great Kenny is as a dog trainer. He really takes the time to get to know you, your dog, and what you seek to get out of the sessions. I really appreciate how much Kenny cares about my dog, the progress my dog makes throughout the sessions, and how approachable he can be outside of the sessions.
He makes sure to send a detailed summary of the training and tips to make sure the techniques work, and will always answer any questions you may have. The difference in my dog’s behavior before and after the six sessions with Kenny is astronomical. Thanks to Kenny, my dog no longer pulls on the leash during our walks, is no longer reactive to other people and their dogs, and has shown many other positive changes.
I would definitely recommend anyone with a dog to set up sessions with Kenny because he truly is the best.

We’re extremely pleased with the training sessions. At the first session, our dog Alfie was very skittish and unsure, but by the end, Kenny had him responding to simple commands. Each session after that continued to build on that progress. The homework was clear and easy to follow, and Kenny was always available to answer questions between sessions. We were especially impressed with how quickly he earned Alfie’s trust. We highly recommend Kenny and look forward to working with him again for advanced training.

I worked with Kenny on place training and loose leash walking for my 3-year-old cockapoo. I learned helpful techniques that I’ve been able to apply, especially around structure and consistency during walks and at home.
Kenny was knowledgeable and explained things in a clear, straightforward way, which made it easy to understand what I should be doing and why. I appreciated having practical tools to start working on right away.
