“Cindy is incredible! I have a pretty insecure dog and Cindy has helped my dog become better socialized with other dogs. I have learned valuable information to apply not only at training but at home as well. If you want a more well-balanced dog you should definitely call Cindy!”
Our Story
Welcome to KK’s Canine Training, LLC website, my name is Cindy Riesgo trainer, owner & operator of KK’s Canine Training.
Katie an American Staffordshire Terrier is our inspiration to help dogs and their owners to live a happier well balanced life. Through training this is possible!
Katie was 10 weeks old when I found her in a shopping cart alone and scared. I began the training process in a puppy class with our local Humane Society then I proceeded with Basic, Intermediate and Advanced training. Katie is now retired though was a registered Therapy Dog with Alliance of Therapy Dogs who worked with special needs children. Along with that, she was a AmbassaDog for the Fort Lauderdale Airport, and a proud member of the non -profit group My Pit Bull Is Family.com
She is a wonderful role model for her breed and continues to be my reason to help dogs in need.
When you decide to train with KK’s Canine Training you become a member of our pack for life.
