Caitlin's Animal Training

My family had at home sessions, in Allentown, for our puppy, Buttercup. From the start the training was very a good experience for my dog. It was conducted using positive reinforcement only. Whenever she realized that she was about to have a session, her tail would start wagging. She was so happy. We worked on leash skills, potty training, puppyhood nipping, barking, excitement, and boredom behaviors all of which were addressed clearly and effectively—without the use of prong, choke, or electronic collars. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

We worked with Caitlin in South Whitehall and had an amazing experience with our Havanese puppy, Buttercup. From day one, she was so easy to work with - kind, patient, generous with her time, and incredibly thoughtful in how she approached our dog's training. Using positive reinforcement only, she helped us work through puppy nipping, leash struggles, potty training, barking, stealing objects, and boredom behaviors with clear, practical guidance. Our dog now listens, settles, trades items, and handles everyday situations so much better. Caitlin truly educates the people as much as the dog and stands out as an ethical, science-based positive reinforcement dog trainer in the Lehigh Valley. We highly recommend calling her to schedule a session.

After struggling with our dog Bisou in Allentown, we were at our wits' end. She was having accidents at six months old, pulling so hard on leash I couldn't walk her alone, jumping on counters and tables, and even chewing holes in the wall from anxiety. Caitlin completely changed our lives. She taught us how to understand Bisou's behavior and gave us practical tools that actually worked. Now Bisou listens, stays calm, walks nicely, and barely counter surfs. She knows sit, stay, leave it, and is a happier, more confident dog. We highly recommend Caitlin - she made a huge difference!

Caitlin is hands down the best dog trainer going in Allentown. We had tried several other people before, and honestly, no one else was able to truly manage our dog or help us understand what was going on. Before working with Caitlin, our dog was difficult to handle and felt overwhelming at times. We were struggling, and it didn't feel like things were improving. But Caitlin immediately saw what our dog needed and showed us how to communicate clearly and confidently. Now? She's a lovely little dog. Calm, responsive, and such a joy to be around. The transformation has been incredible, and it feels like we finally have the dog we knew she could be. Caitlin is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly intuitive with dogs. She doesn't just train the dog - she teaches the people, and that makes all the difference. I couldn't recommend her more highly.
