WHAT PEOPLE SAY

When we had a scuffle in our house between our two female dogs, Cathy was available quickly and provided excellent information and support to help us navigate the situation. She has stayed in touch and provided additional information and assistance. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others!

We are so happy that we came across Cathy when we first got our dog almost two years ago. She is so knowledgeable and lovely to work with. She really cares and knows her stuff.

Ms. Madson was not only kind and empathetic, but the expertise was evident. Her knowledge and insight provided guidance and hope for our unique situation. She was realistic and gave a ton of support. She felt like a true friend and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a blend of expertise , experience, and genuine kindness.

Cathy has been helping me with my dog for a while and is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable, patient and creative in her solutions and methods. She has helped my dog Cosmo overcome his significant issues with my cats, and has helped him go a long way with his anxiety about walking outside. She is now helping us with excessive barking in the house, and is doing a great job! Also to mention that she is so sweet, accessible and just overall easy to communicate and work with! Highly recommend!

We've been lucky enough to work with Cathy in group and private settings. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has been soooo soo good with all the animals in our house, both feline and canine. She has helped us with our shy puppy socialize with others, as well as worked with us to stop all the puppy nipping. Her observations and coaching of the entire family has made an immediate impact on how we have settled into being a both a cat and dog family. I can't speak highly enough of Cathy's abilities and empathy as she teaches. 10/10 we'll be working with her again.
