Vision

My practice is guided by applied animal behavior science.

This includes optimizing the environment, evaluating motivation, encouraging desired behaviors and understanding species specific behaviors.

I pride myself in using methods that are both efficient and respectful of the cat while considering the needs of their humans. I work to create positive associations between the cat and their humans by using force free, pain free and threat free methods… because it WORKS!

and lots LOTS more online training since 2016, as well as a lot of reading. We currently have logged more than 2200 hours of training (not counting the hours of reading) and continuing education is always a priority for us because the more we know, the more we realize that we know nothing! Being a cat behavior consultant is about much more than reading a single book or taking a single webinar.
