Group Classes

Star, Blackie, and Silver were all fearful cats when they came to our local cat shelter. Treats and toys were key to their hearts. Over time, they gained confidence and would greet visitors at the door of their shelter room. All three are now happily living in adoptive homes.


Nurture your cats’ growth and foster their confidence with my enriching group classes. Discover the fascinating world of cat behavior, cat enrichment, and creating a healthy environment for your beloved feline. Join my small group in-depth sessions, where you’ll receive expert guidance through tutorials, discussions, and engaging activities over four one-hour sessions. Together, we’ll explore essential topics like Kitten Kindergarten, misbehavior management, training techniques, and more.

My classes include:
  • Four 1-hour small group sessions
  • Receive lessons, demos, and activities
  • Invitation to the AHC social club (in exchange for a positive review)

FAQ

Why should I attend your class?

I am a certified behavior cat consultant and trainer, work exclusively with cats, draw on my educational background for lessons, and give to the animal welfare community. In addition, my classes will connect you with other cat owners.

Do you guarantee your services?

My classes use research-based methods, but each cat owner and cat will progress at their pace, depending on various factors. I do guarantee that after we’re finished working together, you’ll have a better understanding of your cat’s behavior, and you and your cat will have grown in your skills.
