Episode 8: Kayla Koeppen (Sunny Soul Dog Training)

Welcome to ”Dog Training Bytes” – the show where canine professionals share their key takeaways, big a-ha moments, and hardest lessons learned from working with dogs.

On today’s episode, Mattison is speaking with Kayla Koeppen.

Kayla Koeppen Is a new member to the Tulsa Pack team who is working toward her CPDT-KA certification. Her main focus and passion is working on behavioral cases and dogs with big feelings. To Kayla this entails helping pet parents identify and understand their dogs emotions, and the connection between those emotions and the behaviors they may be seeing.

She has two dogs of her own, a 10 year boxer and a 3 year American Bully, who both have struggled with reactivity and their own relationship together. Kayla’s training journey and passion has stemmed from her experiences with Jasmine and Sully which has given her empathy as well as insight to what some owners may be going through themselves. She is currently offering 1:1 virtual training sessions and Hybrid (Virtual/In-person) training sessions for Denver Colorado residents at tulsapackathletics.com. She has a range of package sizes, all including daily access to training and check in’s. Its also important to Kayla that she offers a safe and judge-free zone for owners to come and learn. She is an advocate for the open-minded approach where owners are met where they are with the knowledge and support they need to have a more peaceful and fulfilled life with their dogs.
