How did you hone your craft?

My background as an educator and knowledge of applied behavior analysis was a strong foundation for becoming a dog trainer. After studying dog training on my own and mentoring with a certified trainer, I obtained my certification from CCPDT. I am a life-long learner and am continuously studying and learning!

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Frequency tops duration! Play a game or practice a skill when you have 3 minutes rather than waiting for a chunk of free time to "do training".

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

Some trainers want to work with dogs and not people, but I love working with the wonderful people who want the best for their dogs!

Kay is AMAZING. We were not prepared for our energetic puppy and she helped train us to manage and cultivate him. Looking forward to our next classes!

- Jeremy S

Kay is a wonderful teacher - very attentive to both the dogs as well as the dog parents! She explains and demonstrates with each pet the command. Helps to set the right expectation - class time zips so fast. The class notes address the session plus tips on dog enrichment are there for additional opportunities to keep your pet mentally challenged. Izzy and I love our Monday’s with or new BF Kay!

We loved the training from Kay at KK9 Dog Training! She was great with all kinds of dogs and it really helped us stay on track with training our pup while he was young. Kay had great tips and tricks to help with energetic puppies and any behavior issues. Would highly recommend KK9 to my friends.

My little 5 month old poodle Zak learned a lot from attending Kay’s classes. She was always patient and kind and my puppy looked forward to attending her classes! We are still continuing to practice all the techniques Kay taught us. She also answered my e-mail questions during the week if something came up that I was not sure how to handle. I highly recommend this training program! Thanks Kay!

Kay is amazing! I am Danielle with NoCo Pet Sitting here in the Loveland area. I have recommended my pet sitting/dog walking clients to Kay and they all love her and her wonderful training techniques. Kay has multiple strategies for mental stimulation and dog walking techniques for the toughest of pullers. All the dogs warm up so quickly to Kay. ❤ I have also gotten the opportunity to watch Kay's darling doggies. They are all so well behaved and sweet. Kay is the best of the best!

- Danielle G

Kay is so wonderful and patient with the dogs, and is so great with keeping in touch. I'd recommend her to anyone I know. She's been a life saver
