For more than a decade, Kevin Knartzer has been pursuing his passion of training dogs to help others using positive reinforcement training techniques.  Positive reinforcement builds a dog’s confidence and reinforces his bond with his human by rewarding the dog for voluntarily performing desired behaviors and never “punishing” the dog physically or verbally for undesired behaviors.

Though Kevin has perfected his positive training techniques training more than a dozen public access service dogs to help people with disabilities to become more independent, his training tactics can be used to shape any dog behavior.  Kevin specializes in serious behavioral issues including dog aggression and resource guarding, but he also enjoys working on basic obedience and puppy classes with his clients.  About his pet clients, Kevin said, “I really enjoy working with people to help them better understand their dogs and to work towards building a better relationship with them.”
