Meet Your Trainer
I’m Caitlin, and I’m so excited for the opportunity to work with you! I entered the professional dog training space almost a decade ago after receiving my dog training certification through Animal Behavioral College in 2015, and continue to educate myself in dog psychology and balanced training methods.
I live in the Dallas area with my husband and daughter – I like to think they’re both trainers-in-training. Our four-legged children (Gigi: a lab mix pandemic puppy, and Coco: a catahoula mix we found on the side of the road at six weeks old) keep me busy when I’m not working with everyone else’s dogs!
Between two high-energy dogs and an even higher-energy toddler, you can only imagine how crazy things could get without a strong training foundation. Training has been a blessing and necessity for our family. That’s why I’m so passionate about empowering others with the tools they need to restore balance to their lives and make the most of their time with their dogs.
Lack of training can also be a life or death situation — in so many cases, professional training offers an path forward for dogs deemed a ‘hopeless situation’ other than owner-surrender or euthanasia. Each year in the US, over 1.2 million dogs are euthanized, and in 2022 Texas ranked No. 1 in the country for this statistic. Preventing those numbers from growing higher, even by 1, is exactly why I do what I do.
At Balanced Best Friend we consistently see tangible, literally life-changing, literally life-saving results. And you will too.
