Kenny is an exceptional dog trainer, and we can’t recommend him enough! From the beginning, his dedication and expertise stood out. He drove 3.5 hours with us to help choose our puppy, ensuring we found the best match for our lifestyle. Kenny took the time to understand our needs, asking the right questions about why we wanted a dog and how it would fit into our lives. Thanks to his guidance, we felt prepared and confident when we brought our puppy home. Kenny’s knowledge of working dogs is unmatched, and as an owner himself, he understands exactly what’s needed for success. His training style is clear, supportive, and full of realistic expectations for both dogs and owners. We believe that to have a great dog, we needed to become great dog owners, and we were more than happy to adjust to his advice and feedback. His structure and accountability have helped us see steady improvement, and our puppy views training as fun and positive. One standout moment was teaching our puppy to stay in his “place.” With one short lesson, Kenny showed us exactly what to do, and we’ve been building on that foundation ever since. His calm and focused demeanor is perfect for puppies—he keeps them attentive without letting excitement take over. Our puppy loves him and is always thrilled to see him, which speaks volumes about their bond. Kenny also prepared us for what to expect in those early days, giving us the tools to navigate them with confidence. Following his advice instead of trying to figure things out on our own has made all the difference. As an educator, I value structure and trust, and Kenny provides both in spades. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely invested in your success, Kenny is the one. We are so grateful for the impact he’s made on our lives and our puppy’s training journey.

We have been using Kenny at Phalanx K9 since our puppy became part of the family (about 6 weeks now). He helped put a lot into prospective about our breed and set us up for success by showing us good leadership through training. I really appreciate his honesty and support in explaining the “why” we train this way. I most of all respected his balanced training style with an emphasis on building a bond. We plan to continue working with Kenny as our puppy matures and grows. I highly recommend Phalanx K9.

Kenny demonstrates exceptional proficiency in canine handling techniques. His ability to manage and cater to the diverse needs of multiple dogs is commendable. In my experience with five dogs, each presenting unique personalities and challenges, Kenny has consistently provided tailored approaches to address their individual requirements. His expertise spans a wide range of canine behaviors, from managing attention-seeking tendencies to addressing complex issues such as fear-based and protective aggression. Kenny’s versatility in handling various obedience levels is particularly noteworthy. Despite the multifaceted challenges presented, Kenny has adeptly addressed each aspect, customizing his approach to suit the specific needs of each dog. A distinguishing quality of Kenny’s professional conduct is his willingness to consult his network of fellow experts when faced with unfamiliar situations. This demonstrates his commitment to providing the best possible care and solutions for both the animals and their owners, prioritizing their well-being over financial gain. Kenny’s dedication to his craft and his client-centric approach set him apart as a true professional in the field of dog training and behavior management.

I've had a fantastic experience with Kenny. Beyond being patient and highly transparent, he's a very experienced trainer and takes the time to learn about you, your dog, and their history to identify the root of their behaviors. From Day 1, Kenny focused on providing the best solution for my dog, and gave actionable advice to build a foundation for my dog that I struggled with on my own. Would definitely recommend Kenny!
