FirstBarkCathy is the absolute best! She is incredibly knowledgeable, effective and caring. She was very invested in the growth of our new puppy. She was instrumental in helping socialize our dog (her puppy socials are the BEST) while also giving us training techniques that work! She curated our training to fit the needs of our dog and family. We highly recommend Cathy Canines!

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?

Title: Exceptional Dog Training Experience I recently had the pleasure of training my 5-month-old Golden Doodle puppy, Guinness, with Cathy's Canines, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As a first-time dog owner, Cathy's warm and approachable demeanor immediately put me at ease. Cathy's training methods are not only easy to follow but also incredibly effective. She takes the time to understand both the owner and the dog, tailoring her approach to meet individual needs. I noticed a significant improvement in Guinness's behavior after just a few sessions. One aspect that truly sets Cathy apart is her professionalism. She maintains a high standard of professionalism throughout the training sessions, creating a positive and focused environment. Additionally, her support doesn't end when the session does. Cathy goes above and beyond to provide ongoing support, ensuring a smooth transition as we continue training at home. I highly recommend Cathy's Canines to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and experienced dog trainer. Whether you're a first-time dog owner or have previous experience, Cathy's Canines is the go-to for achieving a well-behaved and happy dog. Thank you, Cathy, for making the training process enjoyable and rewarding!

Cathy is nothing short of amazing! We did 3 in home trainings when our dog was just a puppy and it truly changed our lives. Cathy mostly had to train the humans, but she does so by giving simple rules and explanations for everything. Our dog is 3 now and is the best companion. We take him absolutely everywhere and are so proud of him, all thanks to Cathy. We’ve sent everyone we know with a dog to see her if they need help! Cannot recommend enough!
