  • “"Caitlin helped me so much with the training of my Cockapoo puppy, Gabby. Caitlin was wonderful with her, they had an instant bond. Caitlins patience, skill and love for my dog has had a huge impact on the life of my new best friend. I will be forever grateful for the impact she made in Gabby's life. I highly recommend letting Caitlin assist you with your pet."

  • Two women with two dogs sitting on a sidewalk, dogs licking the hands of one woman, in a park with trees in the background.

    “Caitlin was amazing with Jacy & Chase. Before training, they were excitable and jumped on visitors. They aren't jumping on visitors -- or us anymore! They sit and lay down on command. The best part is they enjoyed learning and making us happy."

    Kay Virdell

  • "I could not be more pleased with the process, professionalism and dedication to achieve the goals I had for my Lucy. Our training time most importantly, taught me how to get the behavior I am looking for from her. I feel so much more confident in my own abilities now!"
