Why I Became a Dog Trainer
I believe that dog training is the best way to enhance the bond between dog and owner, laying the foundation for long-lasting companionship.Testimonials
Prompt arrival. Clear instructions and demonstrations of what to do. Responsive to our requests. Sophie now walks well, stays, leaves things alone. She’s working on dropping it, down and coming when called. Sophie LOVES Cailin! So do we. We will miss her.
- Sue Gsell
Cailin has been wonderful. She’s very patient and cares a lot about our dog, Beau. We are very appreciative of all of her work!
- Derek Sullivan
David, Kathleen and Cailin are really great. I had my pup enrolled in leash reactivity training, and even though there were other dogs there, I felt like we were able to get an individualized course. We will continue to work with them over the summer to curb the leash reactivity even more. Overall, we had a really great experience and you can tell they truly care.
