Kayla's Paws Service Dog Training, Education & Assistance Foundation -Mailbox

This happened some months ago... I did a meetup with another handler who had their dog trained through this organization. When we meet up the dog was muzzled which was already a huge red flag, a mesh muzzle at that (mesh muzzles are not made to be worn for long periods of time). When I asked I was told that it was the organizations policy. That was a surprise to me but I know organizations have their rules so I let it go. The entire time the dog was anxious and didn’t have a good heel. At one point we stopped to get some food we had the dogs under the table... the dog supposedly trained by this organization kept whining... then there was all these weird sounds and a tussle under the table... the other dog WENT AFTER MINE!!! Even with the mesh muzzle on it went after mine growling and snarling even pinning my dog down. Thank God it was muzzled because I cannot imagine what might’ve happened had it not been muzzled. My dog was washed this week due to the intense fear that the incident caused. I continued to keep the other handler updated on the situation I was eventually blocked by that handler after my trainer made the decision to wash Ridley. so I decided to look a little more into this organization and just from looking at the photos of all the dogs wearing mesh muzzles tells me that the dog was most likely from this organization. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! This trainer doesn’t seem to be washing any dogs even if reactivity or aggression or overly fearful. I really hope that this isn’t the trainer themselves but rather some form of miscommunication or mistake on the handlers part but after reading the other reviewers I can only conclude there’s either miscommunication between the handlers and the trainers or the trainer is not using up to date training methods and not training the dogs to the standards they should be trained to, lesson: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU MEET UP WITH!!!
