"What truly sets Cathie’s apart is the genuine care and thoughtfulness that Cathie and her team extend to every furry friend. Their dedication to canine well-being is evident in every interaction, making each session a joy for Everest and a relief for us as pet parents."
"In a nutshell, Cathie’s Canine Connection is a beacon of excellence in dog training. We couldn’t be happier with the positive changes in Everest, and we highly recommend Cathie’s to any dog owner seeking the best for their pet. " Keiren with Everest
"With an overwhelming amount of information and misinformation online regarding dog training, Cathie is guiding us in the correct direction to allow us to be the best humans to Winston and give him the best life. Within a period of just 3 sessions across 2 months - and countless games in between, Winston has made great strides on maintaining below threshold and being actively engaged during his day-to-day activities. He experiences less reactivity to things that used to cause him to go above threshold, and he also disengages from triggers a lot faster. Thank you Cathie <3." Tina with Winston
"Cathie and her crew are amazing!
Over the summer I got a puppy and our vet recommended her to get us started on the right foot!"
"My previous dog was reactive and so socializing the new puppy has been a top priority for me. But also really nerve racking! The supervision, small class sizes, and Cathie’s knowledgeable support made sure that I felt safe and that my puppy had a chance to get the socialization all dogs need!" Alex with Clementine
"Cathie quickly helped our family develop our skills and understanding about puppies, their needs, and their behaviours through her informative sessions with our family."
Cathie is positive, enthusiastic, dedicated, and passionate about dogs and their well being and she was instrumental in helping our family develop consistent routines and vocabulary to help with house training, puppy biting, and chewing. After our sessions, she followed up with extremely helpful emails and handouts so we could review and practice skills with our puppy." Nola with Tilley
"Cathie is an amazing trainer who provided such a safe and positive learning environment for both me and my pup. She really shows how much she cares for your pet and has such an immense amount of knowledge and experience to ensure your puppy is on the right track."
"Being a new puppy owner, Cathie went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and supported. I highly recommend Cathie's services, there is so much positive things to say about this establishment!!" Louise with Mochi
"Cathie has decades of experience and tonnes of different opportunities available to socialize your dog and learn the skills you need to raise ‘em."
"Cathie’s approach follows the latest science and research which is what we wanted. I know we are on the right track with her, and with the other puppy friends we are making at her classes! I am so thankful to be able to train and socialize our pup here. Very happy to support this little local business and I hope others will do so too." Adam with Rosie
"Yes! Calling all puppies!!If you want a great start in life then going to Cathie’s PPL classes is where you want to be!"
"Unfortunately, our little puppy chihuahua had a traumatic start to his life and became fearful and frightened of most everything. Cathie welcomed him into her classroom, allowing him to watch comfortably from his own space. I know he enjoyed his time there and I was very impressed with Cathie’s knowledge and support." Sharon with Wylie
"Cathie is delightful, humorous, and reliable! Waffle, our pup, attended her puppy pre-school and socialization class, and not only did he learn a lot, but my husband and I did too. Though he hasn't faced major issues yet, we can see a significant positive change in his behaviour through each of her classes and even fun to watch other puppies are improving!"
"Spending time with her and her class was so memorable and worth it! Thank you, Cathie and her crew!" Yulim with Waffle
