Hi! My name is Kayla Hurst!

I have been working with dogs since 2015, right after I got home from basic training. I started working in dog kennels, caring for pets while their families were away. It didn’t take long for me to realize - dogs were my passion.

I dove head first into learning everything I could: body language, behavior, training methods. I practiced with my own dogs and followed well-known trainers, always wanting to grow. In 2017, I was hired professional trainer, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Over the years, I’ve worked with pet dogs, service dogs, and sport dogs. What I love most isn’t just training dogs-it’s helping people build better relationships with their dogs so they can enjoy life together with more freedom.

At home, I have three dogs of my own:

Louis- my 9 year old pit mix.

Wally- a 5 year old Dutch Shepherd, who got me into PSA

Chaos- my 1.5 year old German Shepherd. Currently training for Level 1’s in PSA

When I’m not training client dogs (or my own working dogs), I’m hanging out with my 5 year old son and boyfriend- who are just as dog- obsessed as I am and love to help with training.

I can’t wait to help you and your dog build the trust, freedom, and connection you’ve been looking for!
