This is a much needed nap after a lovely hour-long session with Cathy. Just the trainer I (we) needed to correct his behaviors. Thank you Cathy.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
We have a 4 yr old border collie 50 lbs who is wonderful with people but becomes aggressive around other dogs, especially by her house. She was attacked by two german shepards and has not been dog friendky since. Can she be retrained?
Most likely yes however I would like to chat with you and get more info before I can answer for sure. Give me a call when you have a few minutes.

Cathy is an absolute professional and knows her craft well! Cathy's calm demeanor is exactly the approach that works well for us and for our dog. Each week, Cathy gave us a few, simple behavior techniques to work on. Focusing on just a few simple things one week at a time was the perfect pace for our dog and for us. I learned so much about dog behavior (and my own behavior) under Cathy's tutelage. I look forward to working with Cathy ongoing as we create a happy, balanced home with our dog.
Cathy was recommended to me by a person I met at a dog park. She raved about the change in her dog's behaviour after working with Cathy. She was confident I would be just as enthusiastic.

Cathy was recommended to me by a person I met at a dog park. She raved about the change in her dog's behaviour after working with Cathy. She was confident I would be just as enthusiastic. I was a little skeptical. I had a 6-month-old lab puppy and a 5-year-old rescue. The pup was a handful, difficult to walk and often not responsive when I called her. Boy, did all of this change quickly. She is now a joy to walk, and I no longer worry about my shoulder being dislocated(not kidding, it happened with my last lab). She now bounds over when I call and truly pays attention. Our insecure and often unresponsive rescue is next in line for the training program, I anticipate with Cathy's firm, confident and always kind manner, our stubborn little rescue will be well-behaved soon too. I can't speak highly enough about Cathy; she is professional, punctual and a pleasure to work with. Most importantly, she has had a profound impact on all of us.
Cathy has been wonderful to work with. She taught my little puppy to walk calmly on a leash and the commands of sit, stay and place. She has given us many techniques to ward off bad behavior that are very helpful. Cathy was fun and lighthearted but also serious about the dogs and the training. I have already recommended her to two other families!!
Cathy is wonderful to work with and is a fantastic trainer. I am so thankful that we got to work with her to help train our new puppy. In only a few short weeks, she helped our puppy learn basic manners with a sense of calm and purpose. We can't wait to watch our puppy grow and learn new things! We love Cathy and are thankful for all she taught us!
