Caroline Veldman

Your Asheville Dog Trainer

Caroline has always had a strong connection to animals, especially dogs.

After working as a commercial real estate broker, she found herself looking for a more fulfilling career. Having always been drawn to animals, Caroline decided to pursue a career as a professional dog trainer and enrolled at the School for Dog Trainers. While completing her 24-week Master Dog Trainer Program, she discovered a passion for working with pet dogs and their owners.

As a professional dog trainer, Caroline’s goal is to help dog owners build lifelong positive relationships through clear communication and consistency. Much like humans, all dogs are unique. Understanding your dog and their individual needs is the first step to building a better relationship; knowing your dog is the foundation for dog training.

Caroline approaches each dog as an individual, creating a specific training plan to meet their particular needs and training goals. She has a number of approaches to tackle any behavioral issues, including (but not limited to): fear/phobias, jumping, barking, biting, aggression and destructive behavior. Caroline is also well versed in clicker training, on and off-leash obedience, and remote collar training. All of these tools allow Caroline to find the right fit for you and your dog.

Whether you want to work on basic obedience, behavioral issues, or just finding physically and mentally stimulating activities your dog loves, Caroline is ready to work with you to give you and your dog lasting results.
