Thunderbird Dog Training

Back with another review for another pup that Kayla took under her wing! I can never say enough amazing things about Kayla and her depth of knowledge and expertise in professional dog training. She's helped two of our dogs so far-- each with their own specific needs for training-- and they've returned to us both times with exemplary development in their behavior and obedience compared to when they were sent to training. One was a GSD (I have another review for him posted here) that I had adopted from the e-list from MCACC 3/2025 and I very quickly realized he was much more than I could handle and I needed professional help for him. Our second dog we sent to training was my boyfriend's 1.5 year old GSD/Rottweiler that has very over-the-top and intense drive and energy, and we needed help wi

Kayla is absolutely incredible. I came to her with three dogs who I genuinely thought were beyond help — chaotic, stubborn, and completely running the house. I felt overwhelmed and honestly a little hopeless. Not only did Kayla transform their behavior, she transformed our entire home. My three “lost causes” are now well-behaved, calm, and happy little babies. They reliably sit, stay, lay down, come when called, walk beautifully in a heel, and can even be trusted off leash — which I never thought would be possible. Walks are peaceful, guests can come over without stress, and I actually enjoy being out with my dogs instead of bracing for chaos. Kayla is patient, knowledgeable, and so intuitive with dogs. She doesn’t just train the dogs — she teaches you how to understand them and communic

Kayla and Braden helped us so much with our rescue dog. I was a bit nervous to do a board and train but felt so supported the whole time. We met each week for training tips and connection time and in these instances we were training right alongside our dog. We also received frequent updates including pictures and videos. Kayla and Braden helped him overcome so much while still honoring fundamentally who he is. We loved how intuitive they both were with not only him, but also what we needed to be comfortable with the training methods and tools. They gave feedback that was incredibly supportive while still being direct enough that it was presented in a way that was easy to hear. We never had to guess at anything and although I have a lot of dog training experience Kayla and Braden found ways

I can’t say enough amazing things about Kayla. I was almost jealous my dog got a wonderful “vacation” while I was at home 😂 Not only was Kayla excellent at providing a safe and positive environment for my reactive rescue, she ensured to take care of every need possible while she provided training that will last a lifetime! Kayla also kept me constantly updated about how he was doing and his progress, then helped my daughter and I learn how to communicate with him, and also provided a follow up lesson in public to further help me understand how to manage my German Shepherd’s anxiety (and honestly, mine too!) My pup and I now speak the same language, which has made our entire family safer and happier. I couldn’t recommend her enough, well worth the money and then some!!!

I wouldn’t trust anyone else to train and take care of our Teddy! Kayla is knowledgeable, devoted, extremely kind, and all dogs adore her! I highly recommend the two week immersion training! Our pup was a rescue with stranger anxiety and wasn’t housebroken. Kayla worked diligently with him on socializing with humans and potty training. We have a wonderful and well behaved family member, and our Teddy has a second lovely home. Highly recommend Thunderbird🤩⭐️
