Pressure

Ken has different ways to apply pressure to people and I am gonna go over them.

Close range:

Close range usually involves 5A/2A range or closer.

here you can freely use the dog to keep it going, you can go for a tick grab or you use 214C/D for a delayed pressure extension.

236C/D is really useful for pushing to the corner or going for air dash j.B stuff.

you can also get cross ups with 5C and 2C.

Mid range:

5B/sweep range.

Usually you want to use 5B > 236A/B here and choose if you want to push them back or enter close range and go for the above mentioned options.

Also a good time to test if your opponent wants to escape, basically this range is good for gauging enemy responses.

Far range:

Use dog to force your opponent to block and and try to close the gap or use 236A/B/AB to reel them in.

Alternatively you can use this as a chance to use Diarama and heal, you can still use Koro during Ken specials so you can harass with dog while getting some health back.
