Kyla Guercio - KPA-CTP, FFCT, FDM

Kyla, a dedicated dog trainer with a deep love for animals, began her journey in 2015 working in Toronto dog daycares, immersing herself in canine behavior. She established her own successful dog walking business after earning her training designation from the Karen Pryor Academy. She had the incredible opportunity to travel across Canada on a 5 week tour with a Canadian musician as her personal assistant, dog sitter, and merchandise girl, demonstrating her flexibility and professionalism working with all types of clients. With a commitment to positive animal impact, she spent three years as a certified trainer at the Toronto Humane Society. Kyla's expertise includes writing training plans, aiding in vet clinics to create a safe and calmer environment for fearful/anxious dogs, and advising staff and adopters on management and training. She pursued advanced training, completing courses on aggression, fear-free methods, and applied ethology. Kyla aims to foster strong human-animal bonds through her experience and considerate approach.
