Episode 7: Kendyl Callaway (Sentient Sparky Dog Training Co.)

Welcome to ”Dog Training Bytes” – the show where canine professionals share their key takeaways, big a-ha moments, and hardest lessons learned from working with dogs.

On today’s episode, Mattison is speaking with Kendyl Callaway

From Kendyl:

Over the course of my evolving work with dogs I have focused a majority of my time on canine wellness, nutrition, and a holistic approach to behavior and training. My goal is to understand biologically, physiologically, genetically, environmentally, emotionally, and cognitively what contributes to the presenting behaviors of clients that come to me. More often than not, we start work with an "aggressive" dog and end up working with a Veterinarian or a specialist on the manifestation of physical symptoms or internal casualties that are contributing to the behavior we label as "aggression" and also an enrichment plan that seeks to enhance the dog's quality of life and overall well-being. With that being said, I sometimes categorize myself as an impassioned pursuer of all topics related to canine wellness. I want to educate every client that reaches out for help in a compassionate way that enables them to see their dog through multiple lenses not just the human lens of "getting rid of this undesired behavior." I love learning from all of the wonderful professionals around us and to see the evolving research and time being invested into applied ethology, canine nutrition, all species epigenetics, and more.

Currently, I work in person doing canine behavior coaching in the Metro Jackson, MS area which is an eI previously worked in Delaware County, PA as a dog trainer and apprentice with Mattison, Freed By Training and as a group dog training instructor at A Pawsitive Improvement in Brandon, MS. I offer free consultations nationwide to shelters, rescues, and adopters who are working on transitioning a new rescue dog into their home and lifestyle.
