I’m a veterinarian practicing in NYC since 2010. I met Ettel in 2011 upon searching for a certified trainer to work with my behavior cases.
The first few cases I sent her way showed marked behavioral improvement and I had happy clients, so she became my “go-to” referral.
As a trainer, she is knowledgeable, flexible, intuitive, and exceeds expectations. It’s easy to work in tandem with her on difficult cases that need medications. As a human, she is exceptional and caring. Of the hundreds of clients I’ve referred to her, not one has been unhappy working with her.
I recommend Ettel all day, every day.

Kayla is the best! I know that my pups are in good hands when she is around. She wants all pets to be happy, comfortable, and treated with respect. She is incredibly knowledgeable about pet body language and fear free training and wants to set you and your pup up for success. One of my dogs is slow to trust and needs someone understanding of that. After only a few visits Kayla is now someone my nervous girl is so excited to see!!

I am so grateful to have met Kayla. I have a reactive pup with fear based anxiety and aggression so it’s hard to find appropriate care for him. Kayla is amazing with Rocco! He loves her and I feel at ease when he’s with her. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Ettel who helped me get a better understanding of Rocco’s behavior and get it under control. I would definitely recommend their services 🐶

We are so happy & grateful for Kayla’s dog walking service! She is patient and hyper focused on the comfortability of our anxious little dog. Our dog has shown dramatic improvement with his problem behaviors ( fear of home visitors and random objects on the street) over the last 7 weeks of her 1-2 a week visits. Bonus is she takes the cutest pics of our pups!!
