ABOUT US

I'm originally from France and have proudly called Texas home for over 24 years. My passion for dogs led me to a career in professional dog training, and in 2010 I graduated from the Triple Crown School of Dog Training (now Starmark Academy). Since then, I’ve worked full-time as a certified dog trainer based in Austin and Dripping Springs, helping hundreds of dogs (and their humans!) build better communication and trust.

Through my business, Cat for Dogs Training, I offer personalized puppy training, obedience training, and help with common behavioral challenges like reactivity, leash pulling, and anxiety. I’ve trained dogs of all breeds and temperaments — from young pups to adult rescues.

I’m also active in the sport of IGP (formerly IPO/Schutzhund), where I titled my German Shepherd, Dali, at the IPO3 level. I’m now training my Dutch Shepherd, Tango, in this demanding sport, which includes tracking, obedience, and protection. Competing at this level keeps me connected to top dog handlers worldwide and helps me stay sharp and up-to-date with modern dog training techniques.

Whether you’re in Austin, Dripping Springs, or the surrounding areas, I’d love to help you build a better relationship with your dog through positive, effective training.

BOARD & TRAIN

Your life is busy, you’re going on vacation, and you’re struggling with this new pup. 

 

Board and Train is the most effective method for your dog to become a responsible member of your household.

Enrich the relationship you and your family have with your dog and make the most of your lives together. When communication is clear, then life is better.

Private dog training lesson in pool to build confidence and focus

PRIVATE LESSON

Did you get a new puppy? Or are you getting one soon? The early part of a puppy's life is very important, and can influence their behavior for the rest of their life.

You have a swimming pool or you want to enjoy the Texas lakes and rivers with your dog.

TESTIMONIAL

 - DUDLEY -

Catherine is simply amazing and has been a saving grace for our family. I was going to have neck surgery and would not be able to handle our nine month old Lab, Dudley. We dropped Dudley off on June 30 and left him with Catherine for a month. Catherine sent us videos almost every day. Dudley has returned to our family well behaved with great manners. Thank you Catherine for your patience and the wonderful gift that you have for working with dogs.
