Kayla Moreno

Service Dog Director & Pet Dog Trainer

Hi! I’m Kayla.

When I was young, I always wanted to become a veterinarian. I helped at a vet clinic from age 12 until my high school graduation.

After coming home from a college, I realized I wanted to take on the responsibility of a dog. I got in contact with a family friend, Connie Deason with Majestic Manor Goldens and began working by bathing puppies and helping with picture day, eventually working to become a trainer.

During this time, I completed the Karen Pryor foundations and the certified training professionals courses - about eight months worth of training!

I typically worked in her home with 8-12 week old puppies, focused on potty schedules, basic obedience, elimination of unwanted behaviors and more. After realizing I wanted to turn dog training into a life-long career, I began searching for further training.

I chose to attend the Master Dog Trainer program at Highland Canine School for Dog Trainers in North Carolina. At Highland, I solidified my love for service dogs.

I have been with K9 Summit since the day we launched, Jan 1, 2022. I have trained several service dogs as well as hundreds of pet dogs.

I absolutely love what I do. I am now a mom, too, and it’s been incredible the ways motherhood ties into the psychology of dog training.

So thankful to be a part of the K9 Summit team as we work with owners and their dogs all over the world!
