My Mission and Methods
I'm there for you and your dog: It is my goal as a dog trainer to help teach you how to train your dog, navigate and solve behavior problems, and understand your dog better so that you can succeed in your goals and live the best life you can with your dog.
We will achieve this by using the dog approved training method of positive reinforcement (also known as force-free or reward-based), which stems from the science-based learning processes of classical conditioning and operant conditioning. These methods are proven to work with any type of dog to teach them valuable skills and build a strong bond with you at the same time.
Meet Kaylei VSA-CDT-Online
I started my journey by getting a B.S. in Zoology at the University of Maine with the idea of becoming a wildlife biologist. Unfortunately I found out it wasn’t for me, but I still wanted to work with animals. So, I became a vet assistant and did this for 4 years before deciding to change careers to become a dog trainer. I love being a vet assistant, but after adopting and training my dog, Kangaroo, I found a new passion and way I'd like to help people and their dogs. So many dogs struggle in trying to learn how our world works and what's expected of them, and it can be hard for people to learn how dogs work as well. That's where I come in and why I'm here.
I am a graduate of the Victoria Stilwell Academy's Online Dog Trainer Course, and I will forever continue to expand my knowledge and keep up with the latest in dog training techniques.
I do private in-person dog training lessons in Asheville, NC and surrounding areas, but I also offer online lessons to anyone in the US.

Meet Kangaroo (AKA Roo)!
Kangaroo is the inspiration for There For You Dog Training LLC and a precious member of the family. She is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix that we adopted when she turned 2 years old in February of 2022. She’s from Arkansas and besides knowing she was once hit by a car and had hip surgery, her history is unknown to us. This smart girl is my assistant as she participates in online lessons to help me show owners how to train their dogs.
Her hobbies include hiking, destroying toys, cuddling, sun bathing, looking for wildlife, and training.
