More Than Dog Training

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 s

I can’t say enough good things about Caylen. She is incredibly personable and professional in every way. Working with her has been life-changing. My dog (a very hard-headed pitty) had a complete turnaround because of her training, patience, and expertise. I’m beyond grateful for the results and highly recommend her to anyone looking for real, lasting change with their dog.

Calling More Than Dog Training in request of a 6-week training program was one of the best decisions of my life!! I have a reactive dog and walking her around our neighborhood was nearly impossible before Caylen's help. Now, through my reps with Caylen, I have solid methods to ensure my dog walks with a loose leash and doesn't feel the need to lash out at passing people or dogs. I have a much better understanding of what was going on in my dog's head. I HIGHLY recommend Caylen not only because of the immense knowledge she has to share, but because she is an empathetic person who truly listens to what you want out of each training session. She doesn't talk over you or make you feel silly for asking too many questions. She creates a positive environment where you don't show up embarrassed fo

If I could give more stars I would. We just finished 4 weeks of board training for our dogs and we couldn't be more happy and thankful for all of Caylen's help. We had an issue with in house fights with our corgis and we needed to work on reactivity and helping them to be in peace. Caylen helped us not only to train and have better behaved dogs, but to understand their biological needs and what it makes them get into fights. With her insight and expertise we were able to build better relationships with our dogs and we couldn't be more excited for the next chapter in our lives with our pets. Aside from her dog training, Caylen was also extremely communicative and very good at managing our expectations. Her honesty and clarity made us feel at ease with having our dogs away from us and in her

Benni is our second Golden Retriever, and when we picked him up from the breeder, we were very confident. After all—we’d done this before. Turns out, Benni had other plans. He quickly taught us that no rules applied to him. His crowning moment? One morning I walked into the dining room to find Benni standing on the dining table, eating my breakfast and drinking my coffee. That was my “okay, we absolutely cannot do this ourselves” moment. Fate stepped in the very same day. While walking Town Lake, I noticed a woman with a perfectly trained puppy. I stopped her on the spot and asked for her secret sauce. Her answer, without hesitation: Caylen. I sat down on a bench, called Caylen immediately, and two days later we met in person. That’s how our journey began. We started with private, in-hom
