We had a great experience with our dog trainer. Our dog Jojo is an amazing dog, but with a few challenges. We’ve already seen real progress with “place,” leash walking, and helping her feel more comfortable and friendly around our son. The training was practical, tailored to our home, and actually works in real life. We Highly recommend Cathy, she was fantastic.

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.

I have had such a great experience with Cathy. This was the first dog I’ve ever trained and she gave me clear instructions and came to my house, in our space! It was hands on and Cathy is extremely knowledgeable and showed me step by step! I was able to email/text her with questions and concerns, she was always responsive. Make sure you’re ready to do the work with your dog, it takes patience. A great benefit with the training & after, is that Cathy offers weekly socials to keep up with training and teaching your dog how to act!!
Cathy is amazing. She started working with us when our boxer puppy was only 10 weeks old. She helped him and us gain confidence and necessary skills for making him a great pet for our family. Highly recommend Cathy!

I was referred to Cathy by a friend. My dog's behavior was getting out of hand - she was getting bossy and unruly (Chihuahua-mix). She is an older dog that I've had for 5 years. Cathy helped us get dialed in on walks and reestablish me as alpha in our house. She's calmed down when I bring her to the office and is more secure at home. Walks are so much more enjoyable for me now that I'm in control. Thank you, Cathy!
