I am Cat Donald, and I run Cats and Dogs Professional Dog Training.
My aim is to help you communicate better with your dog and have a greater understanding of them. I believe in making dog training fun, accessible and achievable. By using proven evidence-based, positive reinforcement methods, I will guide you through training practices that will help you build a stronger relationship with your dog. A bond that will last a lifetime.
I also specialise in Separation Anxiety training for those dogs that struggle with being separated from their humans.
At Cat and Dogs Professional Dog Training, I work on the founding principles that dog training practices should be kind, fair, effective and force-free.
1-2-1 Sessions
Puppy 1-2-1 sessions
New puppy owners find a 1-2-1 session with me invaluable - either before or after puppy arrives - and before joining a group puppy class. In these sessions, we can cover subjects like handling nipping and biting, toilet training, socialisation practices and crate training. Please contact me to set up your 1-2-1 session for your puppy.
1-2-1 sessions for older dogs
Training classes aren’t suited to all dogs or owners - whether that’s due to a nervous or reactive dog who may find it difficult to work in a space close to others, or just because class times clash with your existing work or family life.
I offer 1-2-1 sessions throughout the Calder Valley and surrounding areas so there is no need to miss out!
Your personalised 1-2-1 sessions will last around an hour, and we will typically do three sessions together - at a time that suits you. I will give you practical exercises to start working on at home. And finally, I will send you a detailed report that will be a useful reference tool for you.
The starting point is to have a chat about you and your dog’s training needs. Please click below to book an appointment for a free 15 minute phone call.
