1-on-1 Dog Training
Here's What Our Dog Training Clients Have to Say
Help when we needed it!
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!
Five Stars! Cathy is amazing.
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!
Best dog training results I've seen
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.
Exceeded Our Expectations
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.
