Kailyn Poindexter, R.V.T.
Owner & Lead Trainer
Kailyn Poindexter is more than just a dog trainer—she’s a lifelong animal lover with a deep connection to the world of pets. Growing up right here in Sonoma County, Kailyn spent her early years working on a ranch surrounded by horses, dogs, and chickens. Her love for animals blossomed into a career when she took her first job at a local kennel during high school. It wasn’t long before Kailyn’s passion led her to the veterinary field, where she earned her license as a Registered Veterinary Technician.
For over 14 years, Kailyn has dedicated herself to the well-being of animals, combining her medical expertise with her passion for training. She understands that every dog is unique, and she tailors her approach to meet the specific needs of each one. Kailyn’s goal is to strengthen the bond between you and your furry companion, using training techniques that are as effective as they are compassionate.
When she’s not training dogs, you’ll find Kailyn enjoying the natural beauty of Sonoma County, whether she’s hiking the trails, visiting local vineyards, or spending time with her own beloved pets.
