Catherine began her career working with dogs at none other than Passage East, where she learned an invaluable amount about dog handling, behavior and body language. She went on to attend the Catch Canine Trainers Academy and became a certified dog trainer, graduating with distinction. She now divides her time between training professionally and her business, Dog’s Best Friend Petsitting. She continues to further her education and is constantly striving to learn and grow as a trainer. 

Catherine is a force-free trainer who values a compassionate approach to teaching and making training enjoyable for both human and dog. She always aims to look at the whole picture and make sure the dogs she's working with are fulfilled and happy. Her goal is for your dog to listen to you because they want to, not because they have to! She thinks having a working relationship with your dog that is based around joy and willing participation is the most beautiful thing there is, and she wants to help create that for owners and their canine companions.
