About Us
Hi, I'm Caitlin - founder and head trainer at CVC K9 Dog Training.
My passion for dog training began 6 years ago, when I brought home my very first dog, Chester. I soon realised I needed help with him, as we was displaying a lot of behaviour issues I didn't know how to solve on my own. After trying puppy classes, trying to find a trainer that showed real life results and talking to other local dog owners - I started to find my own training approach. Focusing on relationship and clarity.
I've since completed courses and mentorships, gained a lot of hands on experience and had the pleasure of working with dogs of all shapes and sizes, all with their own unique personality.
Choosing CVC K9 Dog Training means opting for a service that prioritises your dog's needs and your peace of mind. I utilise personalised training plans tailored specifically to your dog's behaviour and personality. You can expect a supportive and understanding environment that fosters learning and growth. My commitment to ongoing education ensures that I stay up-to-date with the latest training techniques and behavioural science, so you can trust that your dog is getting the best training possible.

The best trainer, the knowledge and support is second to none!! If you are debating booking in for training, I can't recommend enough and worth every penny and more!
Gone from having a dog who couldn't settle in the house, constantly mouthing at me and being unable to walk him due to his strength/him pulling me over to a dog who will relax in the house and heel walk!!
Not only that, Caitlin has provided us with the knowledge, tools and techniques to maintain his training and work on his mouthing in the house and heelwork outside!
My confidene and trust is improving as we have a dog who is listening more to us every day. Thank you agin for all your work with Marley and your support for us!

Caitlin has been an absolute game changer for us and our Mali, we'd tried other trainers before but never really got on top of our issues and needed a different approach. Could't recommend her enough!!
