Hi! My name is Kayla, and I love dogs!
Since I was young, I have found ways to interact with, care for and train dogs. I have worked with hundreds of dogs and focus on the psychology, communication, and relationships between animal and owner, understanding the tools used are just a means to getting there.
The joy of building confidence in dogs and owners and helping them achieve a peaceful life together is the greatest reward I find in my work. I own two pitbulls, Mayzie Gray and Batman, who are the loves of my life.
"My 8 month old puppy was totally out of control. Kayla took him for the 2 week training at her home, and, miraculously, the wild man is now a gentleman. I could not be more pleased!!!"
"She ensured to take care of every need possible while she provided training that will last a lifetime!...My pup and I now speak the same language, which has made our entire family safer and happier. I couldn’t recommend her enough, well worth the money and then some!!!"
"Kayla is AMAZING! She took my traumatized dog, Mocha, with so many triggers that I could hardly take her on a walk and transformed her into my current hiking /camping buddy!"
