Friendly, personal attention, effective methods and happy dogs!
Cathy's primary focus is the family pet owner and first-time dog owner. An avid clicker trainer and proponent of positive dog-friendly methods, Cathy instructs classes for dogs and their people at Diamonds in the Ruff, teaching Headstart classes, Pup Culture, Paw & Order, Dastardly Distractions class and co-instructs the Social Skills class with DITR owner Carol Byrnes.

Paw & Order: SCU (Special Canine Unit!) at Diamonds in the Ruff.
Cathy created the curriculum to specifically address the challenge of teaching a really reliable recall. Dogs in the "real world" need to be able to socialize well with their dog friends and come away from playtime when called or when faced with other distractions. This class is designed to build and maintain these necessary skills.

Cathy also created the curriculum for DITR's Dastardly Distractions class with Pat Moberly. This class is designed to help you overcome the challenges of working with your dog around the distractions of every day life. Door bells ringing, children giggling, people eating, other dogs playing ... what tempts your dog? This class will feature creative ways to proof your dog's basic training skills while maintaining attention and accurate response.
