Foundations Dog Training

I’m Ethan VanDonkelaar, founder and head trainer at Covey Kennels. I built this community to share the same proven system we use in our in-person Foundations for Success program — now adapted for your home.

For over a decade, I’ve helped dogs of all temperaments learn to Heel, Place, and Here with confidence. My goal is to make training simple, fun, structured, and rewarding for you and your dog — no matter your experience level.

Join us, follow the plan, and you’ll see progress faster than you thought possible.
