About Me

Hello I’m Caitlin, a fully certified and insured dog trainer passionate about helping you build a stronger, happier relationship with your furry friend.

I am passionate about helping owners understand their dogs behaviour and how they communicate with us. Training is about more than just obedience — it’s about understanding, trust, and connection.

My journey into dog training began with my rescue husky, who came into my life when he was about three years old. Sadly, he had never been trained and had endured significant abuse from his previous owner. He had never even experienced a proper walk before. Working closely with him, I dedicated myself to understanding his behaviour—what triggered his fear or anxiety and how to help him feel safe and loved. This experience opened my eyes to the incredible importance of truly listening to our dogs and meeting their individual needs. It inspired me to become a trainer so I could help other dog owners create meaningful, trusting relationships with their pets and ensure every dog can live their best life.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to gain experience from respected trainers such as Nanci Creedon and have spent 4 years working in the veterinary field. This combination has allowed me to work with dogs of all backgrounds, behaviours, and medical conditions, helping me develop a strong understanding of canine communication and behaviour. I believe that every dog deserves kindness, patience, and respect, and that the key to successful training lies in science-backed, positive reinforcement methods.

Based in East Kilbride and surrounding areas, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my life with four wonderful dogs — including a 16-year-old crossbreed, a rescue husky, and two Cane Corso X — and I bring this personal experience, combined with professional expertise, to every training session.

At DogGro, we believe every dog deserves kindness, patience, and respect.
