Real Solutions for Real Dog Struggles

Dog training for calm, focused, reliable behaviour — based in East Vancouver and serving the Lower Mainland.

Why most training isn't enough: Most training methods only get you halfway there.

Sure, they might deliver a sit, a down, maybe a half-decent recall — but they skip the most important part: the mindset behind the behaviour.

You’re left with a dog that knows a few commands but still feels anxious, overstimulated, reactive.

We don’t just need obedience — we need neutrality.

That calm, stable mindset where your dog can simply exist in the world without tipping into chaos.

Struggling With These Dog Behaviours?

  • Leash reactivity

  • Pulling on walks

  • Barking at dogs or people on walks

  • Barking in the home

  • Poor recall

  • Separation anxiety

  • Overexcitement and jumping

  • General anxiety and lack of structure

Don’t see your dog’s specific issue listed? No problem — I work with a wide range of behaviours and can help you figure out the best path forward.

You’re not alone — and you’re not failing. You’ve just been sold a version of training that doesn’t teach calm, communication, or leadership.

This Isn’t Just Obedience -— It's a Reset

Through my three foundations:

  • Place

  • Heel

  • Recall

Your dog will transform.

Instead of managing your dog through redirection or avoidance, I teach them how to be neutral, present — not overloaded, not panicked.

Because while distraction may shrink the problem temporarily, it also shrinks your dog’s world.

I help expand it. Your dog’s world can be bigger!

Through structure, clear communication, and the right tools, I help dogs build the calm, focused mindset that real life demands.

I don’t just train your dog — I show you how to lead them through stress, reactivity, and chaos.

I help you become someone your dog can trust: grounded, clear, and capable.

Together, we build calm through structure, consistency, and clear communication — not by managing symptoms, but by shifting mindset and behaviour at the root.

My approach blends real-world application with a deep understanding of how dogs think and respond. This isn’t about control — it’s about clarity, confidence, and connection.

Whether you’re dealing with chaos, reactivity, raising a new pup, or just trying to enjoy your walks again — I’ll help you get there.

Curious but not sure where to start?

I offer low-pressure intro sessions to help you understand what’s possible.

Let’s chat — and see what your dog’s life could look like.

Big or small, change starts with one step.

Let's begin!

When I first got Archie I was at a loss on how to train him. We tried many trainers before finding Kenn, who was a true blessing! He truly has a gift and I highly recommend him for difficult dogs!

I was at a loss as to how to get Billy’s excessive excitement under control. After working with Kenn, the difference is like night and day. Kenn has an easy-to-understand approach and after only two sessions Billy and I can now enjoy our walks together.

THANK YOU! I never imagined I could have stress free walks with Dolly, and now we are! Never could have done it without Kenn’s help. There’s more to overcome but I feel like I can do it.
