Battle Bridge Canine is a dog training business based in Coats, North Carolina, founded and operated by Caitlyn Parker, a certified dog trainer with extensive hands-on experience since 2019. The business offers personalized training solutions for dogs of all ages, breeds, and behavioral challenges, including puppy training, leash pulling, reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, and more. Their approach is balanced, using all four quadrants of operant conditioning—rewarding desired behaviors and correcting undesired ones—to create clear, consistent communication for dogs. Training occurs in real-life environments, including the home and public spaces, not just in a facility. They emphasize owner education, offering half-way and go-home lessons during board-and-train programs, plus a free post-program private lesson. They keep caseloads small, training no more than three dogs at a time to ensure individualized attention.

Services include private lessons, puppy board and train, obedience board and train, behavior modification board and train, and refresher boarding. They use training tools such as slip leads, prong collars, and e-collars, with full explanation provided during consultations. Their goal is to build a strong, lasting bond between dogs and owners through structured, fair, and compassionate training.

Caitlyn has completed a six-month course at Highland Canine and has trained service and police dogs, in addition to working at a large boarding facility. She is passionate about behavior science and tailors every program to the dog’s unique needs.
