Meet The Trainer

        Kayla Mollat, ABCDT, attended Animal Behavior College in 2016, where she became a professional certified dog trainer. She completed her externship under Pamela Wagsness. Kayla is also an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator (AKC CGC). Given this credential, she is able to administer the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Program, CGC, AKC Community Canine, and AKC Urban CGC tests. Kayla avidly pursues ongoing education and professional development by attending the International Association of Canine Professionals annual conferences. She has spent most of her time training family pets, diabetic alert dogs, and works with rescue dogs of all sizes. In addition, she has devoted five years to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs who are considered bully breeds. Kayla uses relationship based dog training methods which build a trusting, cooperative relationship with your dog. You will have your dog's respect, and your dog will be eager to work with you. Kayla believes all dogs are individuals who all have a different way of learning. She takes a customized approach to each dog and training situation. Kayla has always had a passion for dogs for as long as she can remember. When Kayla was in the 2nd grade, she saved all the money she earned from training family pets and used her earnings to adopt a dog at the local pet shelter. There she found “Luckydog.”When Kayla was 4 years old, she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Luckydog would later save Kayla’s life by waking her up before she had a diabetic seizure whilst sleeping. Luckydog was a natural alerting diabetic alert dog who continued to save Kayla’s life multiple times and inspired Kayla’s career path. She dedicates her passion for dogs to Luckydog.
