FirstBarkCathy taught us the tools to turn our crazy girl into a respectable lady. In a couple of sessions with Cathy, the difference was night and day. Our gal is still learning, with our guidance and Cathy’s help, she is a great addition to our family. Thanks 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.

We are so happy with our training experience! We have a spirited 5 month old Rhodesian ridgeback puppy named Ari and wanted to get ahead of potential bad behaviors and get a good training foundation for her but we needed help! Cathy gave us great tools to help us train and enjoy a happy, well behaved girl. We get so many compliments on how well adjusted she is for being so young. Walks have been enjoyable instead of frustrating and Ari is turning into a really awesome dog. Cathy has a lot of fun with training and Ari loves when it's time for the games we learned. We're excited to continue Ari's training with Cathy's doggie socials. We would definitely recommend Cathy's training program! She understands how dogs think and it's clear she loves what she does. :)

Cathy is AMAZING!!! We have two very stubborn corgis. Our main problem we had was walking them on the leash. They would pull and lunge and it was a literal nightmare to take them potty. After just a few sessions with Cathy there was a night and day difference. They aren’t perfect but we are continuing to use the techniques Cathy taught us and they are improving all the time. We loved how Cathy taught us about the proper relationship to have with your dog so they don’t walk all over you. Cathy is seriously a dog whisperer, is extremely knowledgeable, and is a delight to work with! Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you, Cathy!!!

We found Cathy thru a friend and then actually "won" her services through an auction at our child's preschool. BOY are we glad we did. Cathy taught me to be loving and assertive to my dog by being loving and assertive with me. We had 3 sessions and I'm telling you that our dog's behavior changed after DAY 1. Literally one hour with Cathy and we had a happier, calmer, more well behaved dog. She really is SO good with dogs and great with owners and families. We had 3 sessions and all of the bad behaviors are transformed. Of course, I am transformed so that's why! If you're considering working with Cathy do not hesitate. And if you love your dog and want the best for them and for your family, call Cathy's Canines. We're all happier because of it!
