every walk?
The lunging, the embarrassment, the "I've tried everything" feeling — you're in the right place.
You're in the right place if…
Selective hearing. Leash pulling. Zero recall.
Your dog isn't broken — they just need the right training.
"Caylen taught me that we both deserved better. Now, our daily walks are relaxed and I am no longer fearful of her lunging at strangers or barking at other dogs. Caylen gave me back hope."
The Program That
Changes Everything
Most board & trains warehouse your dog for a month and hand them back with a pamphlet. This isn't that. Your dog lives in my home — not a kennel. They work with me every single day in real environments: neighborhoods, parks, distractions. They come back as the dog you knew they could be.
Pricing is discussed on your discovery call — because your dog deserves a custom plan, not a price list.

Board & Train
Your dog spends 4 weeks living in a real home environment — not a noisy kennel — on a large park property just outside Austin. They come home with reliable off-leash obedience, solid recall, and the ability to go anywhere with you.

- One-on-one attention from Caylen
- Ready for parks, trails, restaurants, public spaces
- Guided transition support when they come home
"I'm embarrassed to say that I tried 3 other dog trainers and wasted thousands before finding Caylen and More Than Dog Training. Caylen takes such a personal approach, keeping my dog in her own home to get to know him throughout training. She communicated with me at every step of the way so I knew what to expect and what was possible for my difficult pup. I can now FINALLY live in peace and not worry when guests come over or when out on walks! Thank you Caylen!!!"
"Caylen is an amazing dog trainer — adaptable, helpful, knowledgeable, and so willing to do what it takes to help your dog and you. We adopted Mia at 7 weeks, tried group training and YouTube, but she'd perform perfectly indoors and fall apart the moment we left the house. She became reactive to other dogs. We started with privates, but Caylen recognized Mia needed more and pivoted to board & train — sending videos, texts, and audio messages constantly throughout the 4 weeks. It was hard not having our dog with us, but the communication made all the difference. Caylen taught us the tools we needed, heard out our concerns, and even explained things two different ways because my wife and I learn differently. It was so obvious she truly cared for Mia. If you haven't reached out yet — just do it already!"
"If we had not found Caylen, I am skeptical that we would have kept our dog much longer. Caylen was amazing — I mean AMAZING. She observed us, tailored everything to our family, and now I have no regrets about Daisy or concerns about how she behaves."
"I reached out to Caylen because I desperately wanted my puppy to be off leash. With every private session I learned so much — how to communicate with my dog and how to trust her. I had no prior knowledge of E collars and believed they were evil and painful. Caylen reassured me that was not the case AT ALL, and by our last session I was confident in everything we had learned. My pup was running around getting to be a free dog. I'm sure there are a lot of wonderful dog trainers out there, but I can tell you there's no one like Caylen. She is patient, confident, and extremely knowledgeable with dog psychology and health!"

Hundreds of Dogs.
One Passion.
I've spent a decade working with dogs of all kinds — from brand new puppies finding their place in a home, to adult dogs who just need better manners, to reactive dogs who struggle on leash or in certain situations.
Every dog that comes through More Than Dog Training gets a customized plan — and every owner gets a trainer who is fully invested in their success. That's a promise I take seriously.
"Don't give up on them.
Let's work on it together."
Every dog deserves a trainer who's fully invested in their success.
Inquire Now"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 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 creates a positive environment where you don't show up embarrassed for help. 10/10 would recommend!!!"
