ABOUT JAMES KAELIN

My name is James Kaelin and I’m the owner of Positive Response K9 Training LLC. Before starting Positive Response K9 Training LLC, I was a police officer for 26 years, and retired at the rank of Sergeant. During my police career, I was a canine handler for 16 years.

Additionally, I was a certified police canine trainer for 13 years. I also have a trainer’s certification from the largest police canine association in the country. While working with police dogs, I had the opportunity to participate in police dog competitions, winning awards at both the regional and national level. Many of the dog teams I have trained also won regional and national awards.

Having a passion for dogs and dog training made it an easy transition, upon retirement, to start my own dog training business.

"Mr. Jim trained my dog Wyatt in his 2 week training program. Prior to training Wyatt was afraid of all people and dogs. He would shriek when on leash due to his fear of everything and pull the entire time so it was impossible to take him for a walk."

"As a first time dog owner, I had no idea how to control our 9 month old Labrador Retriever. We sent May to train with Jim Kailen for 2 weeks to learn how to behave better."
