Eric Presnall
Lead Presenter and Trainer
K9 Training institute
Before working with the K9 Training Institute, Eric was the host of an Animal Planet TV show that went searching for the most well-trained dogs in the U.S. – skateboarding dogs, surfing dogs, service dogs, etc. His role was to judge the trainers’ success with their dogs. He also worked alongside Hollywood stars who were also animal rights activists like Betty White, Greg Kinnear, and more.
Our workshop has helped to successfully train more than 2.7 million dogs – from small breeds like Pomeranians and Chihuahuas to large breeds like English Mastiffs and Great Danes.
Also, puppies as young as 6 weeks old, and previously untrained adult dogs as old as 13 years, have been successfully trained using these techniques.
