Who is Skypuppy?
Hi, I'm Kylie (she/her), the dedicated woman behind Skypuppy School. With 16 years of teaching experience, I have spent the last 7 years teaching biology to college students—a job I still do full-time!
Established in 2021, Skypuppy School combines my love of teaching with my passion for dogs. My goal is to help humans build strong social connections with their canine companions through clear communication and play.
Why the name Skypuppy? In 2017, while fostering for 4Lyfe Rescue, we took in a pound puppy from Far North Queensland who flew to us. We named her Miku, which means "beautiful sky" in Japanese. Our beautiful skypuppy never left and has been my daily inspiration to train ever since—she's even featured in our logo!
In 2022, I earned certification as a Family Dog Mediator (FDM), I have completed the online Puppy Lab Certificate from the School of Canine Science, and I am a qualified Canine Hoopers Instructor.
I live with my four furballs: Miku the Bully cross, Stevie the Bernese Mountain Dog, Birdy the Retriever, and my cheeky Whippet Terrier mix, Styx. For a daily dose of our adventures, follow us on Instagram @miku_skypuppy! 🐾✨
