Why You Can Trust Us
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.
​
I have worked with all kinds of dogs from small poodles to mastiffs. I would be delighted to work with your dog, too! I can confidently say my experience will be worth every penny for giving your pet high quality training!
