Behavior Challenges? You're Not Alone.

Real-life solutions for real-life dogs — rooted in connection, not correction.

Every dog has their quirks, and sometimes those quirks turn into daily struggles. Whether you’re dealing with a dog who loses their mind when someone knocks on the door, can’t be left alone without a full-blown meltdown, or growls at the vet like they’re auditioning for a horror movie — you’re in the right place.

At Caitlin’s Animal Training, we believe behavior problems aren’t just problems — they’re communication. And that means there’s a path forward.

We work one-on-one with you and your dog from the comfort of your home, helping you understand what’s really going on, what your dog is trying to say, and how to build the kind of relationship where growth (and change!) becomes possible.

Common Behavior Issues We Help With:

Potty Training Problems
Separation Anxiety
Fear of the Vet or Groomer
Excessive Barking
Nipping, Biting, or Chewing
Destructive Behavior at Home
Leash Pulling, Lunging, or Barking
Dog-to-Dog Reactivity or Aggression
Dog-to-Human Aggression or Fear
Hyperactivity and OCD-type Behaviors

Behavior change doesn’t come from punishment — it comes from partnership.

We specialize in behavior challenges because we know how overwhelming and emotional they can be. You’re not just training a dog — you’re healing trust, building connection, and learning how to meet your dog’s needs in a new way.

Whether your dog came from a tough background, missed out on early socialization, or is just extra sensitive, we’re here to help guide you both with science-based methods, compassion, and zero judgment.

Because when you love your dog *and* want them to stop chewing holes in your drywall… you shouldn’t have to choose between firm and fair. You can have both.

Caitlin is a master trainer! She understands dogs and the humans who live with them! We've worked with several trainers for our now 3-year-old Goldendoodle before we found Caitlin. She is knowledgable, kind, caring and is a good communicator! I strongly recommend her!

Caitlin is the reason our rescue dog, Kiwi, is such a good girl! Caitlin does all the hard stuff to introduce Kiwi to new commands. Kiwi didn’t know much (including her own name) when we got her. Now, she has amazing recall and has mastered several commands! We wouldn’t have been able to do this without Caitlin’s support. Highly recommend investing in this training for your dog — get the biggest package possible if you can (you won’t regret it).

Caitlin is absolutely amazing! We hired Caitlin to help us with our Bernese, Guenther. She was with us from the beginning for his total hip replacement. Guenther developed so many personality changes and she helped us through everything on pain management and behavioral therapy. Look no further if you are considering someone to help you with your pup. Caitlin is the whole package! 🐾
