Kevin’s impact on how I am living with and raising Spencer has been transformative. I brought him a troubled and confused dog and through a natural and organic process he enabled Spencer to channel his energy into becoming a confident, grounded, balanced, and happy dog.
In truth, he did not train my dog, he trained me; for while my dog is barely recognizable from the one I adopted, it’s me who was given the tools and understanding from Kevin that were necessary to bring out the best in Spencer.
Thank you Kevin!
