currently works with dogs, cats, birds and a few other species.

In addition to his business, Ken has been involved in the human-animal bond and

visit in hospitals, nursing homes and many other areas, and he helped to develop the

original Pet Partner Skills and Aptitude Test. He has taught courses on the subject

nationally and internationally. He also helped develop and operate the Doggie Brigade

animal assisted intervention program at Akron Children’s Hospital that has been

ongoing since 1992 and has nearly 100 teams involved in it.

Ken has presented on the subject of animal behavior at the University of Akron

(Ohio), Columbus State University, the Ohio State University College of Veterinary

Medicine, the North American Veterinary Meeting & Expo and the Midwest Veterinary

Conferences, the Society of Anthrozoologists, the International Association of Animal

Behavior Consultants, the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, the Pet

Professional Guild and many other animal related groups. Ken presents globally and

travels to many countries to teach people how to better understand animal behavior

and training with a variety of species.

Wolf Park, in Battleground, Indiana, keeps and studies wolves, foxes and coyotes. Ken has been giving seminars and helping them with research projects since the early 1990’s. Along with other workshops with Ken, the park now offers a hands on Multiple Species Training Workshop that Ken and the senior care staff teach annually.
