Introduction
I am a Certified Master Dog Trainer. I began training informally before enrolling in a formal full-time 6-month residential master dog trainer school at Highland Canine Training in North Carolina. I was one of just three students who graduated with student excellence honors in my class of almost 30 students. After dog trainer school I gained an additional six months of hands-on experience as an intern/apprentice. Prior to starting Libratum Dog Training, I served as the Service Dog Program Director at Highland Canine Training. I have experience training pet dogs, service dogs, detection and trailing dogs, and police canines. In addition to obedience training, I am versed in methods to address a range of behavior modification issues (aggression, fear, jumping, etc.) I use balanced training methods that utilize all four quadrants of operant conditioning, with emphasis on positive reinforcement and the least intrusive minimally aversive means to achieve success. I offer group classes and private lessons. I focus on building a trusting bond with your dog and establishing clear communication of rules and boundaries. I also know that every dog has its own quirky personality traits, so I design customized training programs based on the particular needs and capabilities of the dog and owner.

We are so glad that we found Caeb of Libratum to train our Mountain Cur / Lab mix rescue puppy Barrett and us. We have had a number of dogs but it had been 40+ years since we had a puppy and puppy issues. Our goals were loose leash walking, basic obedience, dealing with other dogs (not tugging, lunging, barking) not biting, recall and general socialization. Caeb with his patience and experience and his wonderful assistants; Zuka, Nova and Chance (his dogs) did wonders with Barrett. He loose leash walks and heels extremely well. He either walks right past other dogs or if we're not walking will sit and watch them go by so nice to hear comments from the other owners on how well behaved he is. His basic obedience is very good he knows sit, down, place and stay quite well, still working on stay for length of time. His hard play biting has improved drastically still has some moments but so much better and so many fewer incidents and his recall is very good when we are outside. His general social skills when we are out are very good he basically is in heel on his own and does not wander about. We would recommend Caeb to anyone needing puppy training or training hard to learn dogs.

Details: 0 - 6 months old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • Private lessons • Puppy training • Leash pulling • Biting • Chewing • Crate training • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you Bruce, I really appreciate your review of my training services. You have a wonderful puppy who is a quick learner. You and Pam did a great job following through with his homework after each session and it really shows! Best wishes and let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Reaching out to Caeb was the best thing we could’ve done for our dog Rexy! Rexy had a very difficult first 6 years of life which made his transition into a new home once he was adopted extremely difficult. Caeb was super patient and provided the right guidance for us and our baby to help build Rexy’s confidence and feel more comfortable in his new home. The growth we have seen in our baby from the very first training to the last training is truly incredible. I could not recommend him enough!

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • Private lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Biting • My home, venue, etc.

Jennifer, it has been such a great experience working with you and your adorable rescue, Rex. You and Jorge have done a great job of being patient with his anxiety and lack of socialization prior to his adoption. He has come such a long way as a result of your follow through with socialization work, desensitization, confidence building, and counterconditioning. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

Caeb was extremely efficient with his communication , his time and his professionalism . He allowed us to work on the things most important to us and our dog. Caeb insured us that he would be available whenever we needed for consult which was very reassuring. He was a pleasure to deal with and we are excited to enjoy our dog Molly !
