As a dedicated and Certified Dog Trainer through the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP), I take pride in offering personalized dog training services that cater to every furry family member's unique needs. Armed with a Bachelor’s Degree in Science of Canine Studies and an Associate Degree of Science in Assistance Dog Education from the esteemed Bergin University, my journey in pet training has been fueled by a passion for canine behavior and welfare. Since establishing Kanine Freedom in Santa Rosa in 2018, I've been committed to providing comprehensive at-home private training sessions and board and train programs, specifically designed to nurture your dog's potential, whether it's basic obedience, puppy training, or addressing complex behavioral issues.
At the heart of my services lies a dedication to ongoing education and industry best practices. As an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator and an active member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), I continually attend workshops and conferences to stay informed on the latest training techniques and methodologies.

Customer Reviews
Kevin is a highly attuned , kind and humble dog trainer. He has helped my partner and I speak the language of our Rottweiler and all of our lives have greatly improved since our training with Kevin. We were struggling with leash reactivity and Kevin gave us the tools and confidence to interrupt this cycle and behavior. Investing in your relationship with your dog is worth every penny. Kevin explains methods and behaviors in a very simple way and gives great metaphors. I highly recommend investing in working with him. Thank you Kevin from Rhea , Ariana and Thomas. - Santa Rosa, CA - December 2025
- Ariana BKevin is the absolute best! He was so good at training my dog, and I just love his training techniques. He truly is the best dog whisperer in all of Sonoma County :) -Sonoma, CA - January 2025
- Lizzy CKevin is such a wonderful trainer. We first found him when we were desperate to find some help for our 9 month old GSD rescue with many challenges, with severe dog aggression being one of the most concerning challenges. Kevin came highly recommended as a trainer that specialized in Shepherd breeds. From the first lesson, we could see the effect that Kevin had on our dog and we learned a lot from him over the course of the 8 sessions. Kevin is incredibly patient with dogs and humans alike, and is very gratuitous with his time. We can't recommend Kanine Freedom highly enough! - Santa Rosa, CA
