Real Dogs. Real Change.

“We were just the embarrassed humans with our ‘crazy and disobedient dog’—or so everybody, including us, thought.”

Our Husky/Shepherd cross, Storm, has always been amazing at daycare and at the dog park—but on-leash walks were a different story. As she got bigger, they became more and more difficult. She would lunge, bark, pull, and whine whenever she saw another dog or a person she was unsure of.

We had tried obedience classes in the past, but because they didn’t focus on specific behaviours, they didn’t help. I reached out to Cat, and she recommended the Feisty Fidos Foundations class (now Feisty Fido – Core), which we signed up for right away.

After the first class, we realized Storm’s behaviour was actually rooted in fear and anxiety—it was coming out as over-excitement. These classes helped us recognize her stress levels and gave us the tools to work with her in a way that actually helped.

We committed to using the tools Cat gave us outside of class, and we’ve seen huge improvement over the last six weeks. Just today, my neighbour commented on how well Storm is doing when we pass by.”

Thanks, Cat!”

“I have a medium mixed breed dog who is highly anxious. Before working with ImPAWSible Possible, I could hardly take him anywhere because he was scared of everything outside, and inside, he would bark at anyone who came near the house. It was frustrating for both our dog and our family. Now, he is a completely different dog. Cat has given us many tools to help him stay calm and happy, and has helped us build a stronger bond with our sweet boy. While we still have some work to do, I know we’re on the right path. Thank you, ImPAWSible Possible! I highly recommend them to anyone who feels out of their element or frustrated with their dog training.”

“Her knowledge, experience, patience, and dedication are unlike any other professional we have dealt with in the past. Her extensive understanding of dog behavior, coupled with her calm and gentle demeanor, makes even the most daunting issues surmountable. Whether you have a new puppy or an adult dog with behavioral issues, I can't recommend her enough!"

– Ashley H.

“I can’t recommend Cat enough. Her training completely transformed Barry’s behavior and well-being. After being diagnosed with double elbow dysplasia, Barry became reactive due to pain, but Cat helped me understand the underlying issues. Over time, Barry became more secure in stressful situations, and I learned to recognize triggers I hadn’t noticed before. Cat is incredibly knowledgeable and takes a holistic approach to the human-dog relationship. I’m so grateful for our time together and look forward to future group classes.”
