Cathie’s Canine Connection

This is a wonderful local community dog/human training centre. 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.

We attended puppy socialization sessions, puppy training and teen training with Cathie. Thanks to Cathie’s classes our pup has learned to read other dog’s cues and have good behaviours and correct some bad ones! Exposing him early to other puppies in a safe environment was critical for his development and we are super grateful for that. The best part was the amount of learnings that us, as new puppy parents took with us. We are starting to understand and read our puppy’s behaviour and provide him with what he needs based on all the classes we attended. We HIGHLY recommend Cathie, she is not only an expert but does it with genuine care and love. Five stars all around, best money spent in our pup by far!

She’s amazing! She helped me when I needed the most with my dog. I just had a baby and needed to teach my sweet dog to respect her boundaries, he never tried anything, but I was so afraid, hormones all over the place and Cathie came over, showed us how to train him and my baby’s relationship with my dog is amazing now and my dog is much more well behaved (he wanted to jump on people to play, but being a big boy, it can be a problem). Thank you Cathie! Recommend you to anyone, please just hire her and be happy.

I have attended multiple puppy play and learn sessions with Cathy. I found her to be very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from the interactions we have had. I was unsure on whether I could bring my six year old son and she welcomed him with open arms and gave him a book and coloring pages. I was grateful she could make him a part of our puppy socialization. My puppy absolutely loved coming to those classes and I look forward to working more with her in the teen manners course. I highly recommend trying puppy play and learn. - Joanna B
