About Ken
Who is Ken Wille?
Ken’s heart has always been with animals, whether that means stopping traffic to help a turtle cross the road or being late to work to make sure a lost dog finds safety. He’s always had up to three dogs at a time, sometimes more when fostering, and has been hands-on in their training since he was 12.
Ken attended the Milwaukee School of Engineering and served in the United States Army Cavalry during Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. He then built a successful management career, including seven years managing FedEx Office and three years with Panera Bread, along with other leadership roles where he led teams of more than 100 people.
Ken joined Sit Happens to pursue his lifelong passion, becoming a certified dog trainer and spending several years working one-on-one with families and their dogs. Today, he brings that hands-on training experience together with his business background as manager, supporting the trainers and making sure every client receives clear communication, dependable service, and a training plan that fits their family. He believes in using love and positivity with dogs, and brings the same strong work ethic and military discipline to helping families enjoy better lives with their dogs.
