Trainer

Mitchell Kilkenny

I train dogs using real Search & Rescue methods. In SAR work, dogs rely on focus, clear communication, and strong fundamentals. That’s exactly what I bring into these classes — in a simple, practical way.

Better walks. More focus. A calmer dog.

Want one-on-one help?

Private training is available for dogs who need focused support beyond class. We can work on leash skills, focus, recall, off-leash reliability, or beginner search-style and Search and Rescue training. Private sessions start at $200 per hour plus travel.

Real field experience

The best dogs aren’t the most talented

They’re the most focused. Everything comes back to simple basics: focus, communication, and clear direction. That’s what changes things for everyday dogs.

You’ll feel the difference on your next walk.
