Hello, hello!
I'm Caryn Liles!
I help dog-guardians go from feeling overwhelmed, embarrassed, and confused to feeling clear, supported, and confident in changing their dog's behaviour through positive reinforcement, routines, and relationship-building.

You love your dog but you’re struggling to train them in a way that's efficient and effective. It feels overwhelming and frustrating. You adopted a dog to enjoy each other's company and right now it's not feeling as enjoyable as it could.
Walks feel chaotic and even embarrassing, leaving them alone results in complaints from the neighbours, having visitors over is damaging your pride, and doG forbid you leave a crumb of food on the counter...Fido loves to surf!
Go from a place of overwhelm and anxiety, to a place of confidence and enjoyment!
Whether you have a brand new puppy, a new mystery-history rescue, or a spicy adult dog who needs a couple tweaks, you’ll find what you’re looking for here at TCCE.
You can get science-based guidance from a qualified professional AND feel supported while connecting with other like-minded guardians who are navigating the same challenges with their dogs.
You can do all of this without paying an exorbitant amount of money by the hour for a fraction of the support.
I can help you by meeting you exactly where you are.

THE FIRST YEAR
A robust bundle of courses for puppyhood and adolescence PLUS 12 months of Q&As
COMING ON DEC.6, 2023!
I've helped thousands of dog-guardians thrive, rather than simply survive.
Are we the right fit for each other?

About Caryn Liles, Founder, Head Trainer & Behaviour Coach

Caryn speaks from the heart, injecting humour and compassion into all her work. She strives to inspire pet guardians and pet professionals to take an active role in learning “doglish” and to communicate with compassion and curiosity through humane and science-based training.
With five certifications under her belt, she is a lifelong learner; she earns continuing education credits each year, ensuring that she is up to date with her skills and knowledge. She is certified as a Professional Dog Trainer, a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, a Family Paws Parent Educator, a Fear Free Certified Professional, and a Primary TagTeach Instructor.
TCCE began in 2008 and quickly grew to a full brick and mortar location, running 6 days per week with a team of qualified instructors, dedicated to achieving stellar results with clients and their dogs. In 2020, TCCE’s brick and mortar location closed due to the pandemic and transitioned 100% online to a membership model.
Not to sweat! Caryn had been teaching virtually across North America for many years already, so this was an exciting transition that allowed TCCE to reach dog guardians worldwide with almost-daily support and endless resources.
Caryn is recommended by other pet professionals, veterinarians and veterinary behaviourists. Clients jokingly (or not) refer to her as “my dog’s social worker” or “our therapist”.
Caryn has trained dogs, cats, horses, chickens, a rat and even a goldfish. She has a soft spot for German Shepherds and reactive dogs.
