“The 6 week training course with Jake completely revolutionized my relationship with my furry friend. I will be recommending Kynos to all my friends with pups!”
James S.
Orange County, CA
“Highly recommend Jake and his team for dog training. The 6 week program was a game changer for our hyperactive dog. She was decent off leash, but was miserable to have on leash. Now she's a delight both ways.”
Stephanie L.

“The biggest thing I got from the 6-week program wasn't just obedience commands — it was understanding my dog and learning how to handle situations long term. Jake is the man.”
Jordan F.

“We brought our rescue to Jake after trying two other trainers. Within the first week, we saw more progress than the previous 6 months combined.”
Maria K.

“Our German Shepherd was reactive to everything. Now we can walk past other dogs without drama. The transformation has been incredible.”
David M.

“What sets Jake apart is how much he invests in teaching YOU. By the end, I felt confident handling any situation with my dog.”

Living With Your Dog Shouldn't Feel Like This.
“I avoid walks because they're stressful.”
“My dog loses control around people or dogs.”
“I can't trust my dog off leash.”
“My family isn't consistent.”
“I've already spent money on training that didn't stick.”
“My dog listens to the trainer, not me.”
If any of these feel familiar, you're not alone.
Most behavior issues aren't obedience problems.
They're relationship problems.
Most Trainers Focus On The Dog.
We Focus On Both Ends Of The Leash.

The Missing Piece In Dog Training
Most training programs teach obedience. Very few teach owners how to maintain it.
Dogs learn through patterns, consistency, boundaries, energy, communication, and leadership.
The KYNOS Method bridges the gap by coaching owners throughout the process.
When the owner changes, the dog changes. That is where real transformation happens.
Meet Jake
“Real training isn't about control. It's about clarity.”
With 10+ years of experience and 500+ dogs trained, Jake specializes in the cases other trainers give up on — reactive dogs, aggression, and anxiety.
Every training session at Kynos is led personally by Jake. No assistants. No handoffs. No rotating trainers.
His relationship-first approach focuses on transforming how you and your dog communicate, building trust and understanding that lasts.
