Kanga U Dog Training and Drop-in Care is a dog training business based in Duncan, Oklahoma, led by Brooke, a trainer with over a decade of hands-on experience in pet care, veterinary assistance, rescue, boarding, grooming, and doggy daycare. Brooke’s passion for positive reinforcement training was ignited after successfully helping her own rescued puppy, Kanga, overcome fear-based anxiety. Kanga U’s mission is to bridge the communication gap between dogs and their owners through fun, affordable, and science-based training that reduces pet surrenders to shelters. Services include private and group training sessions held at their studio inside Chisholm Mall, drop-in care, puppy potty training resources, and specialized workshops like “Be a Tree” for child-dog safety. They also support local shelters by donating training time to adoptable dogs.
