TRAINING
SOLUTIONS
At Dog Walks & Soul Talks, I believe every dog is one-of-a-kind—and so is the bond they share with their human.
As a certified dog trainer, I offer personalized training sessions tailored to your dog's unique needs and personality. Whether it’s mastering everyday manners, boosting confidence, or tackling tricky behaviors, my goal is to help your dog thrive while building a partnership rooted in trust and understanding.
Training is about more than just obedience—it’s about finding a common language with your dog. Together, we’ll create a happier, more harmonious life for you and your canine companion, one step at a time. After all, life’s busy enough without the chaos—let’s make things easier (and more fun) for both of you!
CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE
The Journey Begins With a Kickoff Session
Every program begins with an initial Kickoff Session — a one-time meeting where we get to know your dog’s behavior, begin laying down calm and trust, and craft a plan that’s realistic, respectful, and rooted in your daily life.
It’s where the real shift begins — from frustration and overwhelm to understanding and progress.

At first, Penny would hide from Kay (and any other visitors). Kay was so incredibly patient with Penny. Over time, Kay earned her trust, taught her to check-in, and how to walk on the leash. Kay collaborated with us during the training process, had different training techniques if one wasn't working, and then taught us her methods that worked with our dogs. Now, we have successful, pleasant, even peaceful walks!

Fortunately, we enlisted the expertise of Kay... Kay thoroughly researched our home environment, other pets, and Milton's specific needs before our initial in person meeting. During her visit, she shared innovative strategies that, despite my four decades of experience in dog rescue, were previously unknown to me.
Our collaboration with Kay was truly remarkable. I highly recommend her services.

Kay is AMAZING! I have two young, energetic dogs. Both of them are very sweet but can be a little rambunctious and high maintenance. Kay handles both of them with ease. They absolutely love Kay and have so much fun... I can't recommend Kay enough!
GET TO KNOW
ME
Welcome to Dog Walks & Soul Talks!
I’m thrilled to share my journey in the world of dog training and care. My passion for working with dogs started early, inspired by a family filled with animal lovers and our own pack of pets.
My years managing a bustling doggy daycare gave me invaluable experience not only in understanding the diverse needs and behaviors of all types of dogs, but also in building strong relationships with their humans. That hands-on experience taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and clear communication—skills I bring to every training session.
I’m also a certified dog trainer, having completed a rigorous program with the Animal Behavior College. The certification course focused on positive reinforcement, behavior management, and different approaches to canine learning theory. This training equips me to tackle a wide range of challenges all while prioritizing the unique bond between you and your dog.
At Dog Walks & Soul Talks, my mission is to help your furry friends become happy, well-mannered members of your family. I take a personalized approach to every dog, ensuring training is not just effective, but also enjoyable for both of you.
Thank you for considering me as your partner in this journey--I can’t wait to help you and your dog create a joyful, harmonious life together!
