WELCOME TO CAT'S DOG TRAINING
Stratford-upon-Avon
ABOUT MY TRAINING ETHOS
I'm Cat, a professional dog trainer based in Stratford upon Avon with over 10 years experience, including 5 years working as a Guide Dog Trainer.
​
I am an accredited IMDT trainer, which means you can trust that my methods are kind, ethical and grounded in the latest animal behaviour science. I use reward-based, positive reinforcement training - because I believe that dogs learn best when they feel safe, understood and motivated.
​
Every dog and every family is different. That is why I never use a one-size-fits all approach. Whether you have a bouncy new puppy, a dog with specific challenges or just want to build on you existing skills, I'll tailor everything to suit your dogs personality, your life style and your goals.
I share my life with Buddy, my gorgeous 11 year old Rottweiler x Lab and Pebbles my cheeky Rottweiler puppy who s currently keeping me very busy and very humble! They remind me every day why this work matters.
​
My indoor studio in Stratford provides a safe, calm and comfortable space for learning - but I also work in your home and out in the real world, because that's where life actually happens.
​
If you are looking for thoughtful, ethical training that puts your dog's wellbeing first, I would love to hear from you.

"Can't recommend Cats Dog Training enough. Honestly changed mine and my dogs life so much! I used to be so anxious and worried about talking my dog out for walks and now I finally com back smiling. Cat has helped me work with my dog in a positive way which has strengthened our bond and just improved life with my dog 1000%..."

"The puppy classes that Cat runs are the best around! In just 6 week we learnt all the techniques and tips to support our puppy to become a well mannered and confident dog. She explains everything so clearly and you can tell she has a real passion for what she does..."

"We have had the best 1:1 sessions with Cat. Ziggy is hoping to be a therapy dog so I knew we needed to find someone with special expertise & we found that & more in Cat. Ziggy loved his weekly sessions & has learned so much, as have I!"
