Cathy's Canines Dog Training

Rae Hoirup · 5★ · 2026-05-16

After interviewing with multiple dog trainers, we knew that Cathy was the perfect person for our family. In 5 weeks, our boy has become more confident and calm while still maintaining his goofy and fun puppy personality. He is a completely different dog when we go on walks now (for the better) and Cathy has helped my partner and I set Paulie up for success while giving us the tools that we need to be our most confident and best leaders for him.\n\nI have already recommended Cathy to two friends of mine and I’d recommend her services to anyone looking for guidance and training resources. She also offers a doggy social that we’ll continue to go to. We are so grateful for Cathy’s Canines and we can’t say enough good things!\n\nThank you Cathy!! - Paulie, Reganne, and Anthony

I have had such a great experience with Cathy. This was the first dog I’ve ever trained and she gave me clear instructions and came to my house, in our space! It was hands on and Cathy is extremely knowledgeable and showed me step by step! I was able to email/text her with questions and concerns, she was always responsive.\nMake sure you’re ready to do the work with your dog, it takes patience. A great benefit with the training & after, is that Cathy offers weekly socials to keep up with training and teaching your dog how to act!!

We cannot recommend Cathy enough for anyone looking for a dog trainer in the area! From the moment we met her, it was clear that dog training is Cathy's absolute passion. She goes above and beyond, investing herself completely in the relationship she builds not just with your dog, but with you as the owner.\n\nIn just five weeks with our 4-month-old boxer, Poppy, Cathy has worked wonders. We've established a consistent routine, mastered crate training, and Poppy now confidently executes basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Poppy now walks with incredible confidence and swagger on the leash and she has really come out of her shell to be a super social dog!\n\nWith so many training options out there, what truly separates Cathy is her unwavering commitment to helping you build a real, deep relationship with your dog. She doesn't just teach commands; she empowers you as the owner to take the lead and really is focused on building a lasting and healthy relationship with your dog. As an added bonus, her weekly puppy socials are something we look forward to every week. It's a fantastic opportunity for the dogs to interact without human interference, and we've seen Poppy's confidence blossom with each session.\n\nSimply put, choosing Cathy has been one of the best decisions we've ever made for Poppy and our family. We feel part of every session, and watching Poppy’s progress has been so rewarding. She's a true gem and I highly recommend Cathy’s Canines!

We had a great experience with our dog trainer. Our dog Jojo is an amazing dog, but with a few challenges. We’ve already seen real progress with “place,” leash walking, and helping her feel more comfortable and friendly around our son. The training was practical, tailored to our home, and actually works in real life. We Highly recommend Cathy, she was fantastic.

Cathy is amazing. She started working with us when our boxer puppy was only 10 weeks old. She helped him and us gain confidence and necessary skills for making him a great pet for our family. Highly recommend Cathy!
