Hi, I’m Caitlin, founder of Calm Canines. With over a decade of experience in service dogs, animal husbandry, and cooperative care, I specialize in creating safe, low-stress nail care experiences right in your home.

I know how overwhelming nail trims can be—for both dogs and their humans—especially when fear, anxiety, or past experiences get in the way. That’s why my approach is rooted in patience, choice-based handling, and respectful, gentle communication that meets each dog where they are.

As a Certified Fear-Free Professional and Certified Pet First Aid Instructor, I’m dedicated to building trust and confidence through calm, thoughtful care. Every session is tailored to your dog’s unique needs, helping them stay comfortable while learning that nail care can feel safe.

My goal is simple: to support you and your pup with compassionate, skillful handling that helps them feel their very best.
