How we got started…

Evry K9 was founded by Mark Cousins. Originally Evry K9 was the name of a new program created with an emphasis on the rehabilitating the pitbull type of dogs in the local shelters. Mark Cousins volunteered and trained many of the dogs in the shelter with the hopes that they would escape euthanasia and find their forever home. During his time of volunteering he noticed that the bully breeds did not have a fair chance of being adopted because of the reputation of the breed. This was the beginning of Evry K9! The goal of the program was to increase awareness, rehabilitate, train and place the once trouble dogs into their new forever homes. “Until you began to volunteer at a shelter you never understand the problems they face with overpopulation, or the heavy hearts of those who are faced with the task of euthanizing both dogs and cats.” ~Mark Cousins

During Mark Cousins time at the shelter he began to catch the eye of both the employees, adoptive families and the local newspaper. This is when Mark Cousins began to help families with their aggressive and problematic dogs. Mark Cousins continues to hold seminars and classes that teach both staff and volunteers on K9 safety, training and rehabilitation.

Mark Cousins has trained a variety of service dogs that help service Law Enforcement, task dogs for families and hundreds of dogs in the average home. Solving the smallest of house breaking issues to helping owners feel confident about their abilities to properly handle and care for their dogs. He now trains dog trainers that can provide this same great service, creating a team that not only can teach great behaviors, but help families understand how to create and raise a well trained dog.
