Kayla is incredible. She took on my unruly and at times aggressive dog Wallaby (1 year old) and reshaped his mindset. On her initial visit, my dog even bit her. While any other normal trainer would understandly peace out, she didn't back away. When reviewing the trainer on this app, it said one can only choose 3 of the 5 options. However, if they offered 10 options, she'd still check every box. She offers one-on-one training which is so uncommon because it limits one's clientele. However, think about the selfless mindset behind that. A child who gets one-on-one tutoring will always get more out of the lesson than a teacher teaching 10+ children. Highly recommend. A+ Pictured is Wallaby showing his unwaivering attention to Kayla while in the middle of a crowded Carytown. What child under the age of 12 years can do that?!

Kayla is amazing at what she does, hands down. We adopted a pitbull mix and I was eager to get him started with some kind of training. After looking through here, I asked a few people for some quotes. Kayla quickly responded and we had a call the following day to talk about what I wanted to work on. After talking to Kayla on the phone, I knew I wanted to go with her. We did 4 in home sessions. Kayla was super friendly with sense of humor, professional, resonablely priced, explained things in an easy way to understand, made suggestions, but ultimately left decisions up to us on how we wanted to train our dog. She's super knowledgeable and what she has taught us works. We of course had to be willing to work with him in between sessions. I was honestly worried about how he'd do and I wasn't overly familiar with the breed. She was, which totally helped ease my mind! In just four sessions, I've seen the progress. We covered sit, leave it, touch, down, spin, how to add on and prolong those commands, training on the leash, training on interacting with our other dog and more. She gave helpful tips on car rides, feeding, potty training and how to overall have a solid relationship with our pup! I'm so grateful for Kayla and the tools shes given us to help set Nero up for success. I would recommend Kayla to anyone looking for help with training their dog. Thanks again, Kayla!

This entire experience was fantastic. Kayla had my dog crate trained in less than two weeks. She sent updates daily about my dogs progress, and I am so happy that my dog finally understands how to "potty" outside. She left us with detailed instructions when she dropped our dog home, and she still checked in with us after the fact. I can not recommend her enough. My dog was very happy in her care, and she is worth every penny!

We had two separate vacations this Summer, with one week home in-between. We did the two week training package and used one week per vacation. Kayla usually likes to have both weeks run consecutively, but she agreed to do them separate for us. We understood that the week in-between we really had to work with our dog. Our dog is a 1 year old German Shephard. He was a kind dog before Kayla, but he has surpassed our expectations. He is so well behaved and responds to the commands she told us about. Everything we asked her to work on and things we did not think of, Kayla got our dog to do it all. He is so amazing and we are so proud of him. We are so grateful to Kayla. She was wonderful to work with and we will be using her in the future for boarding (our dog loved her). We can't brag enough about her and we would refer her to anyone for training or boarding. She has a special way with animals.

We never had a dog before so Kayla did an amazing job to share directions and knowledge with us in order to have our puppy well trained. She s very generous with her time and very professional after her time with our puppy we saw a significant improvement. We strongly recommend her.
