Here Cat works with Willow’s aggression towards other dogs and teaches her to be calm and relaxed as dogs walk past and play nearby during a workshop in South Australia.
The proof is in the results, Here’s what our mentees and students have said
As a dog owner that sought guidance from Cat many years ago to a now qualified dog trainer that sort guidance and learning opportunities plus so much more I have been greatly blessed. Cat provided me with the opportunity to be mentored in such a way that ensured my confidence continued to grow even in those times when it did not seem possible. She supported me through complex learning periods within my course whilst providing for great learning experiences so that subjects learnt could be reflected in watching her work within the client context. With this, I have been provided the opportunity to work in the dog training environment and highly recommend Cat if you are seeking to improve different aspects of your life within the learning context and beyond.
I first meet Cat two years ago while I was a student with The National Dog Trainers Federation; those two years have been two very incredible and life changing years!! Cat’s gift is magical, the gift of breaking down barriers to unlock the beauty in people and in dogs. She does this in the most encouraging manner and delivers everything in a gentle, honest, and empowering way. Through this method she gets results!!Personally, the results I have experienced through Cat’s mentoring and coaching are more than positive. They have been absolutely life changing. Not only has Cat taught, encouraged and empowered me to train dogs she has also taught me how to relate better to others (dogs and humans alike). Even more importantly she has taught me how to better relate to myself – how to coach and empower myself which has led to huge personal and professional growth. I wish I had meet Cat ten years ago, but maybe then I wouldn’t have been ready for this incredible and life changing journey. I thoroughly recommend Cat and The K9 Company; in fact, I cannot recommend them enough. They ARE the community that is missing from our community and they have changed my life forever. Thank you Cat I am forever grateful xo
‘Know Better, Do Better!’ That was my introduction to the beautiful Cat Saunders, and I feel I am a better dog trainer because of this introduction. I was lucky enough to attend The K9 Company’s hugely internationally successful ‘Concepts in Training’ two-day full on weekend seminar. I was glad I booked a spot for my Miniature Pinscher Sparkles to attend with me, and together we were embraced with Cat’s enthusiasm and ability to liven up the room. She shared her insights, experiences and ultimate approach to training dogs. Cat continues to enlighten me on all things Dog Training related! Cat’s concept of ‘Dating Dogs’ to improve your relationships with them was a major ‘light bulb’ moment for me. I have found Cat as my mentor to be someone who is always there to support and share her knowledge resulting in so many positive results. Cat has taught me to keep the faith in myself as a dog trainer, adding more to my toolbox of dog training skills. For this, I will be forever grateful in my friend and mentor Cat Saunders.
I’ve had the pleasure to have been mentored by the wonderful Cat Saunders. She has a natural way of communicating to each individual in her audience so that every person walks away with clarity and new knowledge that can be applied in training straight away. Cat is extremely motivating and supportive to see people succeed and she genuinely celebrates just as hard when they do.
As Cat has a passion for self-development and relationships, she has opened my eyes to how important it is as the trainer, to be continually learning about myself to be better equipped to help others.A few years ago, Cat played a significant role in me acquiring the dog training position that I have today. To this day, when I see Cat, I still have ‘light bulb’ moments as she is continuously updating her knowledge and paying it forward. She’s one in a million!
