Caitlin’s Animal Training

Caitlin provides customized, one-on-one training sessions conducted in the client’s home. Programs are tailored to the dog’s specific needs, whether addressing basic obedience, reactivity, aggression, or integration of new pets. Sessions are ongoing and may be structured as intensive programs for severe behavioral issues. Training emphasizes owner education so families can maintain progress independently.

Caitlin’s Animal Training offers in-home dog training services that focus on helping dog owners build a strong, positive relationship with their canine companions. Caitlin specializes in behavior modification for challenging issues like reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, and integration of new pets into multi-dog households. She provides personalized, patient, and evidence-based training that empowers owners with practical tools and understanding, rather than relying on fear or dominance. Her approach is grounded in positive reinforcement, and she supports clients through every stage—from puppy socialization to senior dog rehabilitation, including post-surgical behavioral adjustments. She also offers guidance for therapy dog preparation and works with all dog sizes and breeds, including large and giant breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs and Pit Bulls.

Caitlin’s training extends beyond commands; she helps families create calm, harmonious homes by addressing root causes of behavior and teaching owners how to communicate effectively with their dogs. Her clients include veterinarians and pet professionals who value her deep insight and compassionate methods. She has successfully transformed dogs with severe aggression, overexcitement, and fear-based reactions into confident, well-adjusted companions.

In addition to training, Caitlin collaborates with pet sitters to support dog owners who need reliable care for dogs with behavioral challenges, ensuring continuity and safety during absences.
