Cathie’s Canine Connection & Co. Inc. EST. 2004

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!

I am beyond impressed with Cathy as a dog trainer! She has an incredible ability to connect with dogs and bring out their full potential. She is patient, kind, and intuitive, and always tailors her training approach to the specific needs of each dog she works with.When I brought my dog to Cathy, he has some behavior challenges that I didn't know how to address. However, Cathy was quick to identify the underlying causes of his behavior and came up with a quick plan for training him. She provided me with regular updates on his progress, and gave me plenty of helpful tips and advice.In just a few weeks, my dog has made tremendous progress thanks to Cathy's training methods. he is now much more confident, relaxed, and well-behaved. I'm amazed at how much he has improved, and I know that it's all thanks to Cathy and her expertise.Overall, I highly recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate dog training. She truly has a gift for working with dogs, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her!

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 ❤️

Cathie has been wonderful! My husband and I just got our first puppy. Both of us have never had a puppy and had no clue what to do. Cathie has taught us so many things that has helped us understand our puppy so we can help him. We are forever ever grateful for Cathie’s help. Prince just loves the puppy classes and is coming out of his shell.

We were excited for the arrival of our new puppy, Cooper. We knew how important it was for his development to be properly socialized at a young age. Cathie was recommended to us through a casual acquaintance we met on a walk with Cooper. We signed up for the trial Puppy Play Class and have been attending regularly for 10 weeks. Cooper loves the classes and he has grown to be a confident and well adjusted pup. I would recommend Cathie and her positive reward based training methods to anyone. We have also had Cooper in Cathie’s Puppy Preschool and are currently enrolled in Teen Manners classes. Cooper is a great Pup and much of the credit goes to Cathie’s training methods.

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.

My family and our Muffin felt very comfortable at Cathie's Canine Connection Puppy classes and playtime. Cathie has a special way with dogs and knows how to address all kinds of concerns. We will definitely be taking follow-up classes with her too.

We love Cathie! Not only is she super knowledgeable and amazing with dogs, but she definitely went out of her way to make me feel supported as a new puppy owner. I was very overwhelmed and anxious about having a dog for the first time and Cathie gave me the help and confidence I needed. Our puppy is growing up so well with her help ❤️

I cannot express enough gratitude for Cathie. She has been instrumental in helping me understand and address my dog Nova's fears and anxieties. With her expertise, I've gained valuable tools to support Nova's progress and provide her with the care she needs.Cathie's guidance has been invaluable. She always takes the time to answer my questions, providing clear and straightforward steps to work through Nova's nervousness. She helped me empathize with Nova's perspective, helping me see situations from her point of view.Through Cathie's assistance, I also realized that Nova was constantly in a fight-or-flight mode. With Cathie's advice and the agreement of Nova's vet, Nova is now on medication that greatly helps her cope with significant situations.I am incredibly grateful for Cathie's compassionate and gentle approach to training. She truly understands the unique needs of each dog and works tirelessly to create a supportive environment. Her expertise and patience have made a world of difference for Nova and me.If you're searching for a dog trainer who combines expertise with kindness, I highly recommend Cathie. Her training methods are effective, and her dedication to her clients is remarkable. Thank you, Cathie, for everything you've done for Nova and me.

We found Cathie through the great reviews on Google for fear-free training. Our puppy was very fearful and anxious when we got him and we did not have the skills to take care of him. Our breeder even offered to find him a different home. After a few classes and one-on-one work with Cathie we started to see that we could keep our puppy and get the skills we need. Cathie and her associates provide excellent classes where we and our puppy can learn to socialize. We are very grateful for their service.
