Virtual Dog Training and Behavior Modification - Nationwide
KK9 East is the virtual training arm of KK9 Dog Training. We provide compassionate training and behavior modification support for dogs and their guardians. Behaviors that are problematic can create stress for everyone in the family. Looking at the whole dog through the LEGS (Learning Environment Genetics Self) model, we create individual behavior plans and provide support to bring about a more peaceful co-existence.
Safety and Predictability
Training and behavior modification strategies can be categorized into safety or predictability. When addressing behavior concerns our training plans include management protocols for safety and predictable training strategies that build trust and consistency.

How did you hone your craft?
My background as an educator and knowledge of applied behavior analysis was a strong foundation for becoming a dog trainer. After studying dog training on my own and mentoring with a certified trainer, I obtained my certification from CCPDT. I am a life-long learner and am continuously studying and learning!
What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?
Frequency tops duration! Play a game or practice a skill when you have 3 minutes rather than waiting for a chunk of free time to "do training".
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
Some trainers want to work with dogs and not people, but I love working with the wonderful people who want the best for their dogs!

Customer Reviews
Kay is AMAZING. We were not prepared for our energetic puppy and she helped train us to manage and cultivate him. Looking forward to our next classes!
- Jeremy SKay is a wonderful teacher - very attentive to both the dogs as well as the dog parents! She explains and demonstrates with each pet the command. Helps to set the right expectation - class time zips so fast. The class notes address the session plus tips on dog enrichment are there for additional opportunities to keep your pet mentally challenged. Izzy and I love our Monday’s with or new BF Kay!

- Abby MMy little 5 month old poodle Zak learned a lot from attending Kay’s classes. She was always patient and kind and my puppy looked forward to attending her classes!

I highly recommend this training program! Thanks Kay!

- Makenzie WKay is amazing! I am Danielle with NoCo Pet Sitting here in the Loveland area. I have recommended my pet sitting/dog walking clients to Kay and they all love her and her wonderful training techniques. Kay has multiple strategies for mental stimulation and dog walking techniques for the toughest of pullers. All the dogs warm up so quickly to Kay. ❤ I have also gotten the opportunity to watch Kay's darling doggies. They are all so well behaved and sweet. Kay is the best of the best!
- Danielle GKay is so wonderful and patient with the dogs, and is so great with keeping in touch. I'd recommend her to anyone I know. She's been a life saver

- Joslyn F⭐ Work One-on-One with Kay Williams — Certified Animal Behaviorist
If your pet is struggling with anxiety, aggression, reactivity, or other complex behavioral challenges, Kay offers private virtual consultations for pet parents in Westerly, Washington County, and surrounding areas including New London, Norwich, Warwick, Cranston, Providence, Fall River, Taunton, Brockton, New Bedford, Pawtucket. Because sessions are conducted entirely online, your pet stays in their natural environment — the exact place where most problem behaviors occur — giving Kay a clearer, more accurate picture of what's really going on.
Why a Behavioral Consultation Is Different
A general pet trainer focuses on commands and obedience. Kay goes deeper — identifying and addressing the root cause of complex behaviors rooted in fear, anxiety, or trauma. This isn't basic training. It's a personalized, science-based plan built around your pet's specific history, triggers, and needs. If training alone hasn't worked, a behavioral consultation could be the turning point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be located in Westerly to work with Kay?
No. Sessions are conducted entirely online, so you can book from anywhere in Rhode Island or across the country.
Are virtual sessions as effective as in-person visits? In many cases, yes — and often more so. Pets tend to show their true behaviors at home rather than in a clinic or with a stranger present. A virtual session gives Kay a more accurate window into your pet's world.
What do I need for a virtual session? Just a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and a stable internet connection.
❤️ Behind every anxious or reactive pet is an animal that deserves to feel safe — and an owner who deserves to feel hopeful again. Take the first step toward a more peaceful home and book a consultation with Kay today.
