Kind Training for Curious, Cautious, and Clever Cats
Is your cat scaling counters, shredding furniture, ambushing ankles, or giving the carrier the side-eye of doom? You’re in the right place. We use gentle, science-based methods that make sense to cats, and the people who love them, so behaviour changes translate into a home that functions better for everyone.
We’ll start with a quick chat to hear about what’s going on, then meet online to create a realistic, cat-friendly plan that fits your home and your goals.
Clarity & Direction Meeting
This meeting is about understanding what’s driving the behaviour, putting practical management in place, and getting started with training you can use immediately. Before we meet, you’ll complete a questionnaire and submit a couple of pages from your workbook to help us understand your cat’s environment, routines, and triggers. During our session, we’ll paw over the “why” behind their behaviour and create a tailored, practical plan you can start right away.
You’ll come away with a clear plan, demonstration videos, and a practical training framework you can apply across different goals. We’ll get you started with a simple, useful skill right away, plus two weeks of email and text follow-up support to help you build confidence as you put everything into action.
Private Training Programs
Once you’ve had your Clarity & Direction Meeting, you can choose the level of support that fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Sessions are held virtually via Google Meet for your cat’s comfort, with an opportunity to work in-person if the training steps call for it and only when your cat is comfortable and progressing well. No stress, no travel, no hissing involved.
Clicker Curious Program
A fun, low-pressure introduction to training for cats and kittens aged 6 weeks and up. We’ll cover the basics of clicker training and enrichment so you can start teaching simple skills and building confidence. Perfect for curious cats or guardians who want to see what modern cat training looks like.
Includes one virtual session, one follow-up a week later, a personalized training guide, a training report, session recordings, two weeks of follow-up support, and a curated enrichment item to keep. You’ll come away understanding how training works, how your cat learns, and how to begin shaping behavior intentionally.
Good Paws Forward: Everyday Cat Skills
For cats and kittens who need a little help with everyday challenges. We’ll focus on a specific behavior or goal, such as counter-surfing, rough play, carrier training, appropriate scratching, or harness and trick training. You’ll learn how to reinforce calm choices, redirect problem behaviors, and make small changes that have a big impact.
Includes multiple virtual sessions (in-person sessions are optional, and we can discuss if this is right for you and your cat), a custom plan, a mid-program check-in, one follow-up, personalized training guides, a training report, a training folder, session recordings, private resource library access, three months of follow-up support, a graduation certificate, and a curated enrichment item to keep.
Living Well and Whisker Wise
For guardians who want to go deeper or have several behaviors to address. Designed for guardians who want skills that support more freedom, more activities, and more shared experiences over time.
We’ll build confidence and cooperation through tailored sessions that cover everything from counter-surfing and furniture scratching to cooperative care, harness walking, and fun enrichment. You’ll receive ongoing guidance, flexible scheduling, and a mix of coaching, video review, and progress tracking to help changes stick.
Cats Are Capable Learners
With the right approach, cats learn just as effectively as dogs. Training gives them a clear way to understand what earns rewards, making behaviour change feel predictable rather than frustrating.
Training Supports Everyday Living
Cat training isn’t just about tricks for show. It helps with daily realities like scratching choices, accepting carriers, and completing care routines, the things that shape life at home.
Collaboration Without Force
Reward-based training gives cats choice and agency, which supports confidence and cooperation instead of avoiding you when you enter the room or causing additional behaviour issues such as aggression.
Skills Carry Into New Situations
Once you understand how your cat learns, you can apply those skills to new goals as they come up — from enrichment to care to changes in routine.
It Strengthens Your Relationship
Training improves communication. Instead of guessing or managing around behaviour, you gain clearer ways to guide and support your cat.
Small Changes Make a Big Difference
Cat training works best in short, thoughtful sessions. Even a few minutes at a time can lead to noticeable improvements in behaviour and daily routines.
