Dog trainer charged with cruelty to animals

CLEVELAND, Tennessee (WDEF) – A local operator of a dog training company has been charged with Cruelty to Animals.

The complaint came from an Atlanta woman who booked her Great Dane at Kinder Dog Training for seven weeks.

When she picked her dog up, she was shocked.

Abigail Eastburn says “You can’t imagine what we are going thru… and I hope you never have to.”

She rushed the sixth month old to a vet with sores and malnourishment.

She posted before and after photos of her dog.

Three more dog owners have filed complaints against Steven Kinder and more are coming forward.
