About Highland Canine Training – Asheville

The Asheville arm of Highland Canine Training is run by a single named trainer, Caroline Veldman, and its own page states plainly "Located in Asheville." The positioning is hard cases: the company says it works with dogs "which other trainers consider 'hard to train'" and has built a reputation for diagnosing and resolving troublesome behaviors.

Programs

Three formats are published for Asheville clients – private lessons, group classes and board and train – with specialized training available on request and free evaluations offered. Private lessons are described as the trainer coming to the client's home once a week.

The trainer's background

Caroline's bio says she enrolled at the company's School for Dog Trainers and completed its twenty-four week Master Dog Trainer Program, where she found a preference for working with pet dogs and their owners. The page lists the problems she works on: fear and phobias, jumping, barking, biting, aggression and destructive behavior, and says she is versed in clicker training, on- and off-leash obedience and remote collar training.

Coverage

The page publishes the towns she serves – Asheville, Mills River, Hendersonville, Weaverville, Brevard and Candler – and finishes with a list of dog-friendly places locally, including breweries and patios where a dog can practice.
