Caleb is an exceptional member of the Sun Lakes Chandler Animal Clinic team, known for his Fear Free Certified Professional expertise and deep-rooted passion for animal welfare. Born and raised right here in Arizona, Caleb has always been drawn to animals, considering them his “best friends” since his earliest memories. His journey in animal medicine began in 2007 when he began as a Veterinary Assistant, and he joined the dedicated team at Sun Lakes in 2022, where he has since become a key figure.
At the core of Caleb’s approach is his profound interest in animal behavior, especially in understanding and communicating with canines — a skill he affectionately refers to as ‘speaking dog.’ This unique ability enables him to forge trusting and meaningful relationships with the canines he works with, ensuring their comfort and well-being. His certification as a Fear Free Professional is a testament to his commitment to creating a stress-free environment for animals under his care.
Caleb’s approach to animal care is deeply influenced by his certification as a Fear Free Professional. This certification is not just a title; it represents a profound commitment to reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in animals during veterinary visits and training sessions. Fear-free techniques are centered around creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals. This involves using treats as positive reinforcement, gentle handling to avoid triggering stress or fear, and paying close attention to the animal’s body language to ensure they remain calm and relaxed.
Caleb is fervently working towards furthering his education in animal behavior and training and is committed to a growth mindset and continuous learning. In every interaction, whether with a playful puppy or a more reserved older dog, Caleb’s goal is to make a positive difference in their lives. We are excited to introduce Caleb’s upcoming Puppy Training program, a perfect blend of his insights into animal psychology and practical, effective training techniques. This program is designed for those looking to guide their pups toward becoming well-adjusted, joyful companions. If nurturing and training your puppy in a supportive and skilled environment is for you, Caleb’s class could be the ideal choice.
