About More Than Dog Training

Like any language that is not your own, you have to learn to speak it. This includes your dog! I offer fully customizable in-home training programs that focus on fixing the core of the issues you are experiencing. No more micro- managing your dog with obedience commands, together, we will teach your dog how to have manners and make good decisions on their own. I offer a holistic approach that includes nutrition counseling and realistic training goals. My goal is to educate owners so that they can communicate with their dogs and enjoy them again.

We had an incredible experience working with Caylen. After adopting a 5-year-old terrier mix who was very reactive toward other dogs — and at times even children — we reached out to Caylen for help. Through private training sessions over just six weeks, we’ve seen a complete transformation in our dog’s behavior. We’re so grateful for everything Caylen taught us and would definitely recommend working with her!

I gave Harley to Caylen at six months for a one month board. She did such an incredible job teaching her how to sit stay come and place and just have overall manners in the house. I couldn’t be more thrilled. Harley came home a different dog and I’m having so much fun reinforcing everything Caylen taught. I highly recommend Caylen…. She was awesome!

I’m embarrassed to say that I tried 3 other dog trainers and wasted thousands before finding Caylen and More Than Dog Training. Caylen takes such a personal approach, keeping my dog in her own home to get to know him throughout training. She communicated with me at every step of the way so I knew what to expect and what was possible for my difficult pup. I can now FINALLY live in peace and not worry when guests come over or when out on walks! Thank you Caylen!!!

Caylen is an amazing dog trainer! She is adaptable, helpful, gracious, generous, knowledgeable and so willing to do what it takes to help your dog and you! If you’re in the Austin area I would highly recommend! My wife and I adopted our dog Mia when she was 7 weeks (a bit early). We did in person group training sessions as well as the YouTube university on dog obedience training. Despite all of that we noticed Mia would perform everything amazing when we were inside our own house but as soon as we left the house it seemed almost as if we were not there. She would get extremely anxious and eventually became reactive to other dogs. We reached out to Caylen initially for privates at our home. Halfway through these Caylen realized she needed to spend many full days with Mia to figure out what was best for her. We pivoted to board and training where Caylen would send videos, texts and audio messages constantly informing us of anything and everything she was learning about our pup. It was so hard to not have our dog with us for 4 weeks but the constant communication was so helpful and encouraging. I know I recommended her earlier in this review however we would like to give a little more reassurance that she is the correct choice for you! Caylen was able to teach us all the tools we needed to know while hearing out our concerns when using them. She was able to explain the same thing twice but differently, my wife and I learn in different ways. Finally, it was so obvious Caylen truly cared for our dog and wanted to see her have a better life just like we wanted. If you haven’t reached out just do it already!

Caylen is an amazing dog trainer! If you’re in the Austin area, we highly recommend her. It’s obvious Caylen truly cared for our dog and wanted to see her have a better life, just like we did. If you haven’t reached out yet, do it already! My husband and I adopted our dog Mia when she was 7 weeks old. While we did a lot of research and obedience training when Mia was young, she still struggled immensely in outside environments. She would get extremely anxious and eventually became reactive to other dogs. We initially reached out to Caylen for private at-home lessons. Halfway through, Caylen realized Mia needed to spend many full days with her to figure out what was best for her. We pivoted to a board-and-train program, during which Caylen sent us regular updates and videos showing what she was learning about Mia and the techniques she was teaching her. When Mia came back home, she was truly a changed dog—great on the leash, great recall, and significantly less anxious and reactive. Caylen truly put in the work to help our dog, but she also taught us how to be better owners for Mia. She is a great teacher—adaptable, empathetic, knowledgeable, and willing to do whatever it takes to support both dogs and their humans.
