Cathy is a wonderful trainer and helped me understand just how important the puppy stage is! Coming to our home was so convenient and helpful with the training process! Cathy brought suggestions for treats and toys that I never even thought about and helped me tremendously with potty training. I highly recommend Cathy’s services🐶🐾🦴

Re: Cathy's K9 Kids Dog Training October 2025 "Five stars! I had a great experience with Cathy's K9 Kids Dog Training. Cathy was incredibly helpful from start to finish." My two-year-old Schnauzer exhibited high anxiety and worrisome growling when young children were in our home. At our initial consultation Cathyassessed Ivy’s behavior and set goals, followed by a customized training plan. Cathy coached me on how to manage my dog's behavior in different situations, treating me as a partner in the training process, she had patience and her demonstrations were clear. Following each lesson, I received verbal and written progress reports, including accomplishments and areas that need more work. What did we learn working with Cathy? Prior to coaching from Cathy, Ivy wore a harness when taking a walk and would pull me along. Cathy taught Ivy and I how to walk at the same pace, building a great walking relationship. I am regularly using learned commands with success. Let’s Go Come Leave It Wait Off Place Heal/Sit Going through the training process my dog understands expectations and it strengthened the bond between the two of us. I am so happy that I made this decision for myself and my dog. I highly recommend Cathy's K9 Kids Dog Training. Diane Sommer Massillon, Ohio Schnauzer Owner

Around the end of August I got a dog that I was informed was housebroken, walked well on a leash,and loved cats. None of this was true. I tried training my dog myself and was about to give up on him and rehome him. Then a friend suggested I try Cathy's K9 Kids. Cathy worked with us and gave both myself and my dog the confidence we needed to train together. Cathy taught me how to take control of the situation and work with my dog using positive reinforcement. I now have a housebroken dog that I can walk on a leash. We're still working on the cat thing, but I couldn't be happier. This dog is now bringing joy into my life, where in the beginning all I felt was stress. Thank you Cathy for this positive experience! Norman and I really needed you, and you came through.
Working with Cathy has been a dream come true! Allie (my mini Goldendoodle) was the most obstinate little puppy I’ve ever had. I didn’t think I would ever be able to train her. Cathy works miracles and now my sweet Allie is a joy! I’d recommend Cathy to anyone and everyone. She is great at what she does and is a lovely person as well.
