Hi, I’m Warren, and I started Equidus K9 with one belief: no dog is untrainable.
Behind every barking fit, leash tug, or nervous growl is a story—and we’re here to listen, understand, and help change the ending.
At Equidus K9, we blend modern behavioral science with compassionate, real-world training to help dogs—and their humans—live better together. We know how stressful it can feel when your dog won’t listen or seems out of control. That’s why we don’t just train dogs—we coach people, too.
We’ve helped hundreds of pet parents across Pennsylvania gain confidence, restore peace at home, and fall in love with their dogs all over again. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a reactive rescue, we meet you exactly where you are—then guide you forward with proven tools, structure, and support.
Warren started his professional dog training career in 1996. He studied at West Virginia Canine College and and graduated as a master professional trainer.
After graduation, he got a job at Kimbertal Kennels as a trainer dealing with aggressive dogs. He worked there until he started training for himself.
He started becoming active in dog sports in N.A.P.D which led him to PSA and IGP. Warren has titled many dogs and worked with top names in the sports. He has been a certified decoy in both PSA and IGP. While currently, he is certified in WDA and as a police k9 decoy.
He has rescued aggressive dogs and rehabbed them to be placed in forever homes. Currently he is training his personal dog Muppet and hoping to trial this year. When enjoying his time off Warren is training his dog Flint in PSA.
