Bio:
Kevin is the Principal Clinical Animal Behaviourist at Pawrus® Animal Behaviour Clinic, Training Director at Pawrus® Dog Training Academy and Co-founder at Pawrus® Group. Kevin is currently on an extended leave of absence.
He is the First Pawrus® Certified Partner Trainer™ (PCPT™) and Supervising Teacher of The Elite Positive Dog Trainer, our Trademark Professional Dog Trainer Program. He mentors Animal Behaviour Consultants, Animal Trainers, Animal Training Assistants, Veterinarians, Veterinary Technicians and Nurses.
Kevin obtained his Professional Diploma in Dog Training & Behaviour with Distinction from Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behaviour as a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) under the Mentorship of World Renowned Dog Trainer and Former American Kennel Club (AKC) Obedience Judge Mrs Terry Ryan. Previously, he was a Military Working Dog Trainer (Narcotics Detection) with the Singapore Armed Forces Military Police Command’s Military Working Dog Unit.
His interest in dog behaviour and training began at the young age of 18 during his National Service (NS) in the Army. While he enjoys training dogs, he realised that the bond between dogs and humans can be adversely impacted by behaviour-related issues and conflict arising from misunderstandings between humans and dogs, causing unwanted detriment to both human and animal welfare. Ultimately, his focus is on enriching the human-animal bond by shaping the positive education experience for all, especially fearful and aggressive animals. He has strong research interests in canine and feline cognition.
Fifteen years since, he has successfully attained independent certification as an AVS-Accredited Certified Dog Trainer (ACDT), Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed® (CPDT-KA®) and Certified Behavior Consultant Canine – Knowledge Assessed® (CBCC-KA®). Additionally, under the tutelage of Dr. James C. Ha (PhD, CAAB) and Dr. Renee Robinette Ha (PhD), he has Graduated with Distinction from the University of Washington’s Certificate in Applied Animal Behavior (UW-AAB).
Every quarter, he lectures for the Institute of Technical Education (ITE)’s CET Division, teaching pet parents the fundamentals of dog behaviour in Basic Dog Behaviour and Management.
Presently, he is a Master of Science (MSc) Clinical Animal Behaviour Candidate at The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, The University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Moving forward, he is working towards attaining Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviorist (CCAB).
In the coming future, he is looking forward to reinvent the Future of Pet Care with Innovative Pet Products by Maxie Lab Group.
His dream is that one day, Animal Behaviour can be easily understood by everyone and practiced only with positive and scientific methods. He wants to help pet parents and animal companions forge lifetime and meaningful bonds by designing a common avenue for them to better understand one another through simplified, confidence-building experiences.
Working collaboratively between humans and animals, his training philosophy is:
“Shaping Confident Animals with Positive Scientific Solutions™”
