Hi! I’m Kayla, a professional dog trainer with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. My background in professional dog training and care gives me a strong understanding of canine behavior, body language, safe handling, and the importance of meeting each dog where they’re at. I have experience working with everything from puppies and easygoing family dogs to high-energy, fearful, reactive, and behaviorally challenging dogs. I’m comfortable reading canine body language, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, managing dogs safely on walks, and adjusting my approach based on the individual dog rather than treating every dog the same. In addition to training, I have extensive experience with the day-to-day care of dogs in both home and professional settings. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, crating, structured walks, enrichment, potty breaks, maintaining established household routines, and providing owners with updates while their dog is in my care. I also have experience administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions, including working with dogs who have multiple medications, supplements, feeding requirements, or other individualized routines. I understand how important accuracy and consistency are when another person is responsible for your dog’s care. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m happy to reinforce your dog’s existing training and household rules rather than allowing good habits to disappear when you’re away. I can provide structured walks for dogs who benefit from them while still making sure they have an enjoyable, enriching experience. Above all, safety is a priority for me. My training background allows me to recognize potential problems early, make informed handling decisions, and provide care based on the individual dog’s temperament and needs. Whether you need someone for regular walks, occasional drop-ins, or reliable care while you’re away, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for by someone with professional experience in both dog behavior and hands-on canine care.
