I'm in Allentown, and before working with Caitlin's Animal Training, I felt completely overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated with my one-year-old poodle mix, Suede. After the very first training update video, I could already see a huge transformation - he was calm, focused, happy, and engaged in a way I had never seen before. His reactivity inside the house has completely stopped, and I finally feel hopeful and confident moving forward.Caitlin is kind, easy to work with, and truly committed to positive reinforcement training without using prong, choke, or electronic collars. If you're looking for a positive reinforcement Labradoodle trainer in Allentown or the Lehigh Valley, I highly recommend reaching out to Caitlin's Animal Training.

We live in Allentown, Pennsylvania and have a one-year-old field-bred Irish Setter originally bred for hunting birds.My husband had no experience with high-drive working dogs but was set on getting a puppy — and our first year with Murphy was honestly chaos.Murphy was constantly on edge, couldn’t settle, jumped on us, guests, and counters, and had zero reliable recall. He even escaped into our neighborhood multiple times, and we were incredibly lucky to get him back each time.We tried group classes with a highly recommended local trainer, but Murphy would only listen with a prong collar and leash — and even then, it was inconsistent. Caitlin showed us a completely different approach.She helped us transition away from the prong collar and taught Murphy how to come when called — even around birds. His jumping has dramatically improved, and he’s finally able to settle and relax. Most importantly, she taught us how to truly understand him and meet his needs through positive reinforcement and a compassionate, holistic approach.Our bond with Murphy has never been stronger. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or have been told your dog needs harsh methods, don’t give up.Call Caitlin’s Animal Training and schedule a free evaluation — it will change everything.

We’re in Allentown, and our 4-month-old puppy Bowie just completed a 2-week board and train with Caitlin’s Animal Training. The results have been incredible. From day one, communication was consistent with updates, photos, and videos, which made the process feel seamless. The handover was thorough, and we left feeling confident continuing the training at home. Caitlin’s positive reinforcement approach truly sets her apart—no prong, choke, or electronic collars, just clear, effective, science-based methods. Bowie is now calm, responsive, and constantly getting compliments. If you’re looking for a puppy board and train in Allentown or the Lehigh Valley, don’t hesitate—call Caitlin and schedule a session.
