Kendall Tawney-Wendell KPA-CTP             AKC Approved Evaluator



My journey into the world of dog training began during my undergraduate studies at Iowa State University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science. It was there that my fascination with canine behavior and training truly took root. Driven by this newfound passion, I pursued and obtained a Professional Dog Training Certificate from the Karen Pryor Academy, a cornerstone in positive reinforcement training. 

As an approved AKC Evaluator, I have the privilege of assessing and guiding dogs and their owners through various training milestones. My experience spans a diverse range of dog breeds and behaviors, allowing me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each dog and their family.

Whether you're looking to enhance basic obedience, address behavioral challenges, or simply strengthen your bond with your furry friend, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I believe in creating a training environment that is both effective and enjoyable for both dogs and their owners.
