Natalie + Rupert
“We had an amazing experience with Caroline! She really gave us the tools to help our reactive dog calm down in certain situations. She was very positive and communicated well. Caroline tailored each training session to Rupert's needs and he gained so much confidence. So grateful to have found her.”

John + Rye
“A few months ago, my fiancé and I discovered Caroline while looking for a private dog trainer in Los Angeles. We were seeking assistance with our Jindo mix, who struggled with leash pulling, a short attention span, and excessive excitement. Caroline turned out to be an exceptional trainer, introducing us to an incredible method of dog training based on positive reinforcement.
While we still have some work ahead of us, our furry companion has undoubtedly shown significant improvements with Caroline's invaluable guidance. We are immensely grateful for her assistance and expertise.
Thank you so much!”

Lindsay + Rufus
“Caroline was great with Rufus! Super clear in her instruction, kind and easy to work with and ensured that Rufus' needs were met. Rufus needed some basic command training and also tools to combat separation anxiety. She gave good instruction with homework and will definitely be using her methods!”

Lauren + Nola
“Before working with Caroline loose leash walking looked a whole lot like me walking a hopping bunny rabbit up and down the block. Nola is such an exuberant girl and because I didn't know how to control our walks, she was always all over the place. During one of our training sessions Caroline patiently showed me how to hold the leash properly while keeping Nola at my side the entire time. With much practice over quite a few weeks, I feel a lot more confident loose leash walking Nola.
I'm so thankful that Caroline gave me some great tips on strengthening up Nola's recall. She's my shadow and she follows me everywhere I go. That includes outside. There have been a few occasions where she got past the porch gate and wandered onto the front yard. During those times she would not really respond to my "Here Nola!" command and as a result, I would have to chase her back into the house. Fortunately, because of lots of practice with Caroline's tips on recall, Nola is responding to my command more and more, which is a great relief to me.
Caroline even has given us training on impulse control which includes having Nola to wait at the door and porch gate before being taken out for a walk. This is very helpful with the door dashing as well.”

Ashley + June
“My partner & I adopted a 3 year old rescue Bernese mountain dog mix who had a handful of quirks (leash reactivity, separation anxiety, attention barking, etc). We got so lucky having Caroline as our dog trainer. From being flexible and accommodating for session arrangements to the support & techniques she's provided us to help us become more attuned with our dog, she is incredible. Would highly recommend Caroline!”

Hanni + Jesse
“Caroline is the best dog trainer!! We had 2 trainers in the past until we met her. Her suggestions, tricks, and recommendations to our sweet Jesse always work. From a dog that barks all the time he became calmer and much disciplined.
You won't be disappointed!!”

Avanika + Lumi
“Caroline was an absolute godsend for our four-year old husky rescue, Lumi. Unaware of any previous trauma our poor girl went through, we weren't able to walk a block without Lumi pulling or barking at any person, dog, or leaf. Caroline instantly assessed her and gave us the tools we needed to help Lumi become comfortable not only on her walks, but also in our home. She's made herself available for any questions we've had, even after the completion of our private sessions. We're so grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their relationships with their loyal friends.”

Majid + Maxwell
“She is a 5 star trainer! She is professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I used to think I can "do it myself" by watching youtube videos but having a trainer made a big difference and I'm surprised by my dog's improvement. Maxwell and I are very happy with Caroline. She is very resourceful and always answers to my questions with great details.”

“Caroline, my private trainer, is very sweet and knowledgeable. Caroline comes to my house and designs the training methods base on my dog's issues and I see immediately improvements!”

Elaine + Petey & Dottie
“Caroline Wu is a true dog trainer professional. My dogs, Petey and Dottie, took an immediate liking to her. The dogs were both puppies when they first met. Caroline's training methods were always given with positive reinforcements. Caroline has intuitive dog sense. She had no harshness to her discipline. And my dogs responded well to Caroline and her methods.”

Estelle + Moxie
“Moxie is doing great learning manners and obedience, but you know who is learning the most? Me! It is absolutely exhilarating to acquire new skills that help me communicate with her in a way she easily understands, and it's making our bond stronger every day. By the time she reaches full maturity (and 80lbs?) she may even start listening to me! 😂🙏”

Cecilia + Capri
“Caroline helped us to understand our dog better and allowed us all (as a family) to hear the same message so that we could all train her in the same way so that the expected response from our dog could be achieved. We've seen significant improvements in our dog. For the first time ever, I was able to walk my dog alone without being pulled by her while going uphill. Our dog has learned to listen better to commands and our neighbors have seen a big improvement in her behavior. I am grateful for Caroline's patience and calmness. I feared that my dog's nipping behavior would frighten or harm her, but she knew exactly how to take control and manage her. She taught us "high value treats" and games we could play to keep our dog engaged. Simple things like how to properly hold a "loose leash" was important for all of us to hear. We also learned how to redirect our dog so she wouldn't constantly be pulling ahead of us. Our dog has also learned how to ignore the yapping dogs next door when she hears them and is learned to become desensitized to their constant barking. I am grateful that Caroline addressed these issues because these yapping dogs aren't going to go away, so learning how to deal with this, was very important. I feel our dog is significantly more manageable and we owe this to Caroline. We could never get our dog to go to the front gate without pulling us, and now she can walk to the gate and not be so hyper energized. I appreciate the positive training tips! Caroline helped us to understand how our behaviors and responses to our dog was affecting our dog. I highly recommend Caroline and would request her back if I felt my dog might need further training. Thank you Caroline!”
