Thank you so very much for your time and careful consideration regarding our sweet boy. All of us felt so supported and heard during the very difficult conversation. Although it’s so very sad and difficult to take the next steps, your guidance was invaluable to us! Thank you for taking the time to document our meeting and sharing the notes as well. It truly gives further clarity in this extremely difficult decision. Your kindness, compassion and extensive knowledge is so very much appreciated. What a blessing you have been to our family.

Cathy has helped me enormously with my very hyperactive young dog. My dog has responded very well to the simple techniques Cathy taught me for helping my dog to settle down and focus. She is doing much better greeting visitors to our home and staying calm on leash walks. I'm very grateful for Cathy's training!

An informative course providing a comprehensive guide on puppy nipping, offering valuable insights on effective strategies and pitfalls to avoid.

This is the first dog where I've used Pupstanding and he's the best one yet. The positive training approach works wonders. This trainer is great at troubleshooting what isn't working. She understands dogs and reads their minds. It's amazing - I have a fearful dog and she's been able to get him to respond, and lose some of his fears. Recommend her highly for all dogs, but especially if you have a skittish one.

We’ve been lucky enough to work with Cathy in group and private settings. She is incredibly knowledgable and has been soooo sooo 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 and 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!

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 for post meeting to reach out and work along side us for her consultation in this journey, as well as sources of information and for local enrichment spots. She felt like a true friend and we whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a blend of expertise, experience and genuine kindness.

We are new owners of a bonded pair of kittens. This book really is "essential" for all cat owners. It was full of useful information and guidance. I love that each page is a single tip. No fluff but right to the point, unlike other pet books that seem to be bloated. You can read this book easily in one sitting and then keep it around for reference. The extra book benefits that are online are also welcome. Highly recommended!

My 3 year old Lab, Bella, loved this fetch stick right away and knew exactly what to do with it.
We throw it up the hill, she runs up to fetch it, races back down and drops it at our feet, wagging her tail and “smiling”.
We call her stick “Fetcher” and it’s one of her favorite toys. I like that it’s made of very sturdy material because sometimes Bella likes to chew on it a bit when we finish playing. I keep an eye on her, and she hasn’t been able to chew even a tiny bit off her stick. It’s her only toy she hasn’t destroyed except for her tennis balls.
I’m so happy to have found “Fetcher” and Bella is too!

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 definitely knows her stuff.

Our one-year-old rescue dog had concerns about other dogs, and we needed direction about how she needed to be trained. Cathy was immensely helpful in directing how we would accomplish this task. She was always upbeat, caring, and very informed as we learned how to handle our new dog. She demonstrated and then let us try our hand. Clear and helpful advice on the best equipment to use, and the best way to use leashes based on our specific dog's needs and concerns. Watching how our dog responded to Cathy, and her really informed information about why our dog behaved as she did was most beneficial. Cathy’s information and help did not end with the in-person training sessions, her follow-up letters were excellent and included links to videos that were very helpful. We are grateful for her help, it made all the difference.

Luci and I have been playing with the fetch toy inside and my granddaughter has played with her outside.
She likes it.

Very informative books. Love that the info comes from a veterinarian. Easy reading with lots of great advice.

Floats in the water, fly really well and the colours are fun: my dogs love it!

I have a 4yr old Australian shephed/German shepherd mix that loves carrying/playing with sticks as well as downed tree branches. I have a lawn full of branches he drags out of the woods. Since getting this branch it has become his favorite substitute for the real thing! No more branches to clean up. He's a pretty heavy chewer and this is holding up well. I love it for him almost as much as he does!!!
