Lenny has always been a dog lover and knew early on that he wanted a career with dogs. He became a trainer with Suburban K9 in 2009 while still attending college at Northern Illinois University. Lenny quickly excelled as both a trainer and a student, eventually graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. Over the years he became an expert in dealing with difficult dogs and training off leash.
Lenny’s background coupled with his training skill allowed him to rise to the role of field manager in our Midwest region. His job involves working with each of our trainers on a daily basis. He acts as both a mentor and a training partner. You will often see him on our other trainers’ appointments to ensure quality and 100% customer satisfaction!
His best buddy is named Scrunts, a mix breed that he rescued from Tails Humane Society. Lenny often brings Scrunts along to help when a dog is needed for an appointment.
