Dog Training

HOW IT STARTED

After her training in Ohio, Bethany returned to Connecticut and began working as a Veterinary Technician at an animal hospital in North Haven, CT. She also began training dogs. Her success was immediate as customers saw the results of her labor and love! Bethany founded her licensed dog training business named Partner With Us because she believes all successful training involves a true loving partnership between the trainer, the owner, and the dog.

OUR PASSION

We LOVE dogs! Bethany fell in love with dogs as a two year old, keeping daily watch at her front door for any dogs being walked in her neighborhood. Having spent countless years both volunteering and working at doggie daycare, Bethany’s immense passion and unconditional love for dogs is reflected in her dog training approach.

the PROCESS

Training Sessions are to take place at your home or location you desire. A 15 minute consultation first appointment is available to all new clients to discuss your dog’s behavioral challenges and training goals. After the consultation, you may decide to have a training session right away or wait and schedule a training session later. Sessions typically last 45 minutes

we understand dogs as
much as we love them

FOUNDER

Bethany Cavallaro, founder of Partner With Us, is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a 2013 graduate of National K-9 School for Dog Trainers.
Growing up on Long Island in a family without pets, Bethany fell in love with dogs as a two year old, keeping daily watch at her front door for any dogs being walked in her neighborhood. Her parents, allergic to most pets, finally caved to her pleas for a puppy and bought a Bichon Frise. Snickers became her constant companion and lifelong buddy and helped her make the move to Connecticut as a young teen. Bethany experienced the grief of losing her best friend when Snickers passed away at 16 years of age. Bethany’s first volunteer job was at a doggie daycare playing and caring for dogs; eventually she was hired and worked there for 3 years. After graduating high school, she enrolled in National K-9 School for Dog Trainers in Columbus, Ohio. By then she had a new best friend, Jaymo, a golden doodle. Jaymo went with her to school and participated in all the training. Bethany was awarded certification as a Professional Trainer on May 17, 2013. She is trained in the following:

  • Basic and Advanced Obedience
  • Behavior Modification
  • Puppy Development
  • Utility
  • Breed Identification
  • Tracking and Scent Detection
  • Personal Protection
  • Police K-9
  • Retrieval

Her success was immediate as customers saw the results of her labor and love! Bethany founded her licensed dog training business named Partner With Us because she believes all successful training involves a true loving partnership between the trainer, the owner, and the dog. A good trainer can teach a dog how to behave, but a responsible owner must follow through with the training to see lasting results. Bethany is married and lives in North Haven with her best friend Jaymo; she enjoys helping owners see their dog’s behavior transformed through her compassionate, loving style.
