The cost of training depends on how much your dog already knows and what it still needs to learn. Cost of services is discussed during a training evaluation or behavioral consultation.

I use positive reinforced methods of training. I employ my training methods contingent upon the L.I.M.A. (Least Intrusive and Minimally Aversive) Principle and the Premack Principle.

The length of time in-person training is conducted with you, your dog, and the trainer is usually at a minimum of 5 weeks. Lessons are usually one hour and are once per week. The length of time for Behavioral modification training is contingent upon how much modification your pet is needing based on the outcome of the behavioral consultation. There is usually never a quick turn around with these types of cases as they take time to achieve results because a lot of times a pet has already had issues or bad habits for years before a trainer is contacted. The minimum length of time for board and train is usually about 3 weeks.

We contacted Ken due to our dog’s reactivity to other dogs and some other behavioral concerns. I cannot believe the progress we’ve made in only 6 sessions. Our dog is much happier and so is the whole dynamic in our household. Ken is friendly, knowledgeable, generous with his time, and you can tell he cares a lot about his craft.
We also appreciated that he uses the LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive) method instead of rushing into a shock collar or anything like that. Although, he did seem very well informed about using that as an option if necessary but it wasn’t for us.
I would highly recommend Ken for anyone looking for a trainer. It was a bit of a hike for us, about an hour drive, but totally worth the time, money, and effort. We’re very grateful to have found such a wonderful person and trainer!

Call Ken today, do not hesitate if you're looking for training for your dog...you'll learn so much about dog behavior and how your behavior influences your dog. Highly recommend Ken for all issues about a dog, particularly behaviors that you need to address. We finished Phase I training basic obedience, but Ken helped us with so much more with our dog who we adopted from the shelter. I have less stress and felt so confident after our first meeting. Very worth the cost to come to your house and train the dog in its environment. We are forever grateful to Ken for helping us become a dog family!

Very satisfied with my course and experience with Heart of Dixie, Ken always took his time and was patient. I loved the one on one training and thought that did a lot for my and my dogs overall relationship. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a basic obedience course!

So far I have nothing but great things to say about Ken. He's a good guy that does a good job at teaching you and your dog. He is always willing to answer any questions and work on any concerns you have. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Hands down the best experience ever. Tato our husky pup has made leaps and bounds working with Ken. You can message Ken anytime and he’s very quick to respond. He’s very knowledgeable about all breeds and training in general. He comes to you and is very reasonably priced. With husky’s being a working breed, we have finished our first 6wks of basic obedience and have decided to do 6 more for more in-depth training. Hands down will be using him for all of our new dogs from now on.
