Not sure what to say?

Our sincere Condolences to Agi and the family. Kevin was an incredibly bright and gifted man. We were lucky to have known him and are touched by his amazing work with our canine companions.

We just now learned ok Kevin´s passing. We were friends in high school and reunited when Kevin opened Canine Arts in Ct. Kevin sold us our First GSD and I was recruited by him as a "Helper" ( decoy ) to take bites training police dogs. To say Kevin was a fascinating person is an understatement! A brilliant man with a great heart and love of the natural world and his family.

Oh my god, I didn't know Kevin passed away four years ago! This breaks my heart. He changed my life as well my dogs. I will cherish him forever.

Oh, and Kevin, Happy Birthday!

So very sorry for your loss. His book, YDYM, is way beyond an inspiration to me. Here I am reading it for the first time in June 2022 I feel his intelligence, guidance and insight in my Heart. Those of you who had the privilege to know him are truly blessed. Kevin, I look forward to meeting someday when I pass from here. It is my sincerest wish that his family has found that the memories have turned to pure joy!
