Kayla Fratt is a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) through the IAABC and the founder of Journey Dog Training, where she helps owners with everyday manners and serious behavior problems alike. She co-founded K9 Conservationists, training detection dogs for conservation fieldwork, hosts the Canine Conversations podcast, and holds a biology degree from Colorado College, after starting out as a behavior technician at a large open-admission shelter. On PawProof she covers the gear and enrichment side of pet ownership, toys, crates, carriers, harnesses, beds, and cat furniture, judged by safety and fit first, with the training and behavior context that makes a piece of gear actually work for the animal using it.

Her rule of thumb: pick the gear that fits the animal in front of you, not the marketing. See how the whole team works on the about page.
