About Thunderpawz
Hello! My name is Kenddall Rawson, and I'm the owner and trainer of Thunderpawz, a small but impactful program. I began training pets when I was just 12, and at 16, I embarked on the journey of training service dogs. By the time I was 18, I was assisting friends in training their service dogs and had the privilege of being mentored by experienced professionals who have since retired. As a balanced trainer, my focus is on helping people gain independence through their service dogs, inspired by the incredible support my own dog provided me. I'm currently working towards my CCDT-KA certification to further enhance my skills and credibility. If you're interested in learning more or joining our community, feel free to message me or join our Facebook group. Looking forward to connecting with you! I am 22, I'm happy to answer any questions you have or offer advice anyway I can! I suffer from fibromyalgia, juvenile, arthritis, heart issues, GI issues, EDS or HEDs, chronic migraines, chronic pain, cptsd, anxiety, tremors, and more as part-time wheelchair user. Just was on my local newspaper march 11th, I am mostly self taught with the help of some other trainers teaching me some things. I am located in muskogee, Oklahoma but I travel anywhere in the US (still learning about Canada and etc). I have a service dog and service dog in training.

“I’ve had 2 service dogs then washed out 3. I was very discouraged until I worked with Kenddall. She did temperament testing on a shelter dog in Muskogee then held him for a week for me so he could get neutered. We’ve had him now about a week and a half and he’s doing amazing. He walks well on leash, doesn’t bother my cats, asks to go out to potty, is learning to auto sit at doors and when I stop when walking. I have hope again and it’s all thanks to Kenddall, her insight, & her encouragement. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
PS. His name is Redford & he’s a Catahoula Leopard Dog."
"this lady is amazing to say the least. My girl freya who was/is my service dog has had to been pulled from public access due to a rising concern that Id never be able to get her over her excited reactiveness to other dogs. Well today was the first day of hopefully many that has truly given me hope to have my girl back at my side. Kendall has already helped me in one day more than anyone else in the last year and a half of training Freya. Today I was able to walk at a short distance by a dog and maintain control of my girl and not once did she become reactive. I know miracle dont happen with dog training but today was such a huge step, and I feel I owe it all to the guidance of Kenddall. She's helped me when nobody else would. I highly recommend her to anyone needing help."

“Kenddall, the trainer with ThunderPawz is helping me to train my 4 month old puppy into a service dog. She is very open with what's right and goes at the dogs and handlers pace. Very thankful I found this company!!”
