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!

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 helped me with my 10 week puppy when I had to unexpectedly go out of town. She worked with me to come up with a training program and I couldn't be happier with what she has accomplished with our Delilah. I had been so unsure of how to work with her and she has given us a solid plan and definitely a head start with her training! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

We've only had one session but great so far! Kayla was informative and thorough during a prior phone call on her approach and methods.
