Howdy! I'm Kendall, the trainer behind Sunnyside K9.

My passion for dogs started long before I ever trained professionally. What began through my high school's FFA veterinary program eventually led to four years in the veterinary field, years of continuing education with trainers across Texas, and hands-on experience working with everything from puppies learning the basics to dogs with more complex behavior challenges.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in General Business from Texas A&M University–RELLIS while continuing to grow my experience in the dog industry. Along the way, I gained professional experience training board-and-train dogs, managing pet care teams, fostering rescue dogs, and competing and training with my own dogs, Remi and Nellie. Every opportunity has helped shape the trainer I am today.

My training philosophy is simple: train the dog in front of you. Every dog learns differently, and every family has different goals. Rather than forcing every dog into the same program, I focus on building clear communication, confidence, and practical skills that fit your lifestyle. Whether you're welcoming a new puppy, working through unwanted behaviors, advancing your dog's training, or anything in between, my goal is to help you build a relationship with your dog that lasts well beyond our time together.
