Kai's K9's - Dog Training Solutions

Atlanta-based dog trainer with over 10 years of professional dog experience. Hi! I’ve always had a passion for animals, particularly dogs.

My name is Kaitlin, or Kai for short!

I'm the owner and sole trainer at Kai's K9's located west of Atlanta, GA. As a kid, I was known as the “animal whisperer” in my family–-always caring for, reading, or watching documentaries about them. In fact, my first training experiment was when I was just 6 years old. I taught my family's crazy chocolate lab, Millie, to jump through hula-hoops! I was als

o the only one in our family who could calm her down when she was off the rails (that dog needed a little more training than knowing how to jump through hula-hoops). Being able to truly understand animals, dogs in particular, requires a 6th sense. Having a natural connection with another species doesn’t come easily for most people, but it's second nature to me. I approach training each dog with a similar structure, but no two dogs will be trained exactly the same way, because no two dogs are the same. It all depends on what your pet is receptive to, and figuring out the why behind what they do. My professional experience with dogs spans over a decade, ranging from grooming, to specializing in handling aggressive, reactive dogs, to sitting in during surgeries as an assistant veterinarian technician, to managing a locally-owned dog daycare in the heart of Atlanta. Looking back on these experiences, I've realized one common denominator they all share: I would always go out of my way to work with the misunderstood dogs. The ones no one wanted to deal with. The ones no one could seem to calm down, get to listen, or even go near without being afraid. No one asked me to take on these dogs, I simply wanted to. They just needed someone to understand. I'd shadow the worker who loved them as well. The one who also saw something special in them that no one else did. Over these years, within my roles, I studied closely under local trainers who specialize in dog behavior and aggression, as well as advanced training for service work. The last couple of years I’ve studied and researched dog behavior and psychology on my own, and feel confident in myself to take the plunge into starting my own training service.

Training and working with dogs in any step of life really is my biggest passion-–being able to help a family understand their dog and form a bond they never thought they could have is life-changing. A confident dog is a happy dog. A happy dog is a happy home.

Meet Goose 🪿 👋

Ever since Goose was attacked by an off-leash dog a little over a year ago, he has struggled with confidence and reactivity around people and dogs. It’s gotten to the point where it’s hard to take him anywhere without him losing control, and the owners in turn feel helpless in those moments.

At home, he’s incredibly smart and well-behaved (his dad has put a LOT of hard work into him), but obedience all starts at home 🏡 and that’s where we gotta start, especially with lots of triggers just outside.

Goose had his second 1:1 session today, and he’s already doing incredibly well! There’s still lots of work to do, but it’s easy when you have a pup that’s eager to learn and wants to enjoy life!

Hello friends,

I have some bittersweet news to share:

Due to health reasons, I have left Petsmart.

Thank you to all of your support over the last 2 years. Every moment with each and every one of you was incredibly significant to me and I will cherish all the memories of being able to help all the lives I met during my time there, whether four-legged or two-legged. 💕

That being said, I am pursuing my own dog training business once again! I understand and have no hard feelings if you’d like to unfollow this account now—Petsmart is the bees-knees and I HIGHLY recommend any of their trainers in the north GA area. 💪🏻

However, if you’d like to tag along and follow this new chapter, welcome to the wonderful world of Kai’s K9’s! 😊 👋

If you or a loved one are interested, I am offering In-Home, Outdoor Group Sessions, and Virtual Training! There will be very limited openings as I am doing this a few hours a week on the side of my new job. Spots are filling up super fast, so I recommend booking ASAP to save your spot ☺️

Feel free to DM or reach out to me on my contact points listed in my bio.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read all of this. I hope to continue touching many more lives over the coming years!
