De-Tails about Caitlin

Caitlin Morrow, head trainer for Behavior Tails, achieved her first dog training credential in 2007. Her constant pursuit of continuing education has resulted in a Bachelors of Science in Animal Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville as well as an Associates Degree in Veterinary Medical Technologies. She is a registered Veterinary Technician in the State of North Carolina. After graduating with honors from Animal Behavior College, Caitlin began interning with a certified Behavior Consultant and spent many years working and leading a team of dog trainers in Asheville. Caitlin continues to hold certifications and professional memberships to organizations that require case logs, knowledge assessment exams, continuing education requirements and a strict set of professional guidelines that all members are held accountable to. After spending over a decade working in Western North Carolina, Caitlin knows most of the local veterinarians and vet techs and comes highly recommended by other dog trainers, past clients and the veterinarian community.

Caitlin is a positive reinforcement based dog trainer that adheres to LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive) policies and does not use correction based training methods. With the focus of training being the individual dog’s needs we work to create harmonious living between all members of the household without the use of corrections or force to get results.
