Copper & Co.
Like Couples Therapy…But With Your Dog
Welcome
I am a professional dog trainer, certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. I take a holistic approach to training that focuses on empathy, giving your dog agency and communication skills, and empowering both humans and their dogs to live happy, healthy lives together.
Woof!
About Copper…
They say when something big happens in your life, you can then categorize the other events as either before or after that Big Thing. Copper was my Big Thing.
Not long after adopting Copper as a six-year-old rescue pup, I transitioned from working with infants to working with dogs. I had previously always lived with a family dog–a big, goofy lab named Tucker, but Copper was the first pup to come into my life that I was fully responsible for, and would come to know the ins and outs of how different and special each dog can be.
We found each other when she was pretty shut down, fearful of most humans and loud noises, and overall anxious. The bond we built was nothing short of magical.
Just by being her, she taught me about canine body language, the range of emotions and thoughts that these animals are capable of, and the true meaning of resilience and trust.
Copper passed away in December of 2021 but serves as my guide for both the things that I want and don’t want to do in the dog training world.
Kind Words
“Kaylee is a fantastic dog trainer. You can tell she truly has a passion for what she does. As an owner I have learned so much. I reached out for her to help with my dogs anxiety, not only has she helped with that, she has also helped with day to day life with my dog. I think everyone with a dog should use her! She is the best.”

“Kaylee has been an amazing resource for me since adopting a dog this past December. Her training approach was effective and we had a lot of success. The skills she taught me, as an owner, have been invaluable. She is accessible, patient, intuitive, and kind and my dog and I both truly enjoyed working with her.”

"Kaylee is an amazing trainer who truly cares about your pups as if they were her own! Her knowledge and skills shine through in each session. I really can’t say how much I appreciate her and how much my dogs love her. Despite only needing training for my younger pup, she allows my senior dog to be included and he LOVES it! Even when we had no trainings scheduled, she would still send check-in texts to see how everything was going. My pups love her and it makes me one very happy fur mama!”
