    I started learning with Catch recently and so far I am loving all of the knowlege I didn't know I should know, you definitely don't get with a ****************** Nor do you get the support and encouragement that you get from a school like Catch. If you are serious about becoming a dog trainer or already work in the animal world and want to expand your knowlege this is a great source of knowledge and well worth the money. I volunteer at my local shelter where I trained my first reactive and aggressive shelter dog. It was a challenge and I still go back to reinforce what she learned so she can get adopted. I now am a regular and train 6 dogs as well as hold classes for the other volunteers and staff. I love my life.

    I am a graduate of CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, Master Class with Mentor. I thoroughly enjoyed my CATCH experience. My program director was very understanding and supportive. Also, if I sent a message when she wasn't in the office, another staff member would promptly respond. The curriculum was excellent. I look forward to reviewing the material as needed throughout my career and advancing my skills through other recommended resources. I recommend this program to anyone who loves dogs and who wants to understand them better,

    CATCH is an incredible resource for aspiring dog trainers like myself providing you with the blueprint of everything you would need to know to be a successful dog trainer! ****** was my program director and anytime I would reach out to her, I never had to wait more than ******************************************************************************* concerns I may have had. ****** would also send me frequent check in emails to make sure I was having a smooth experience throughout the course which I appreciated. The course itself was laid out exactly in the order to study, building off each previously learned skill making it easy to follow and gain confidence as you go. As a new graduate, I now feel confident and comfortable in my skills and knowledge gained through the CATCH curriculum to take the plunge and start my dog training career! I would 100% recommend CATCH for aspiring dog trainers or really anyone looking to expand their knowledge as I've learned so much invaluable information, thank you CATCH!-******

    I am a recent graduate through CATCH and their masters class program and I am so thankful for this school! My mentor ****** was wonderful to work with throughout my course and CATCH provided a plethora of information, making me feel confident to start my dog training journey. I especially loved their mentorship assignment, working with and shadowing a local dog trainer. She has even became a great friend of mine now and I continue to work with her to further my experience. Tests were open book but still very challenging and truly tested my knowledge, and after every exam I was given great feedback from ******. I feel beyond ready for my next step in obtaining my CCPDT because of CATCH and highly suggest them to anyone who is looking to start their dog training journey.

    I worked with dogs for about 7 years now, wanting to advance in the dog world I took both grooming ********** am currently in training course. Grooming wasn't my niche, I mean I can do the process on 1 dog but grooming 10 dogs in 1 day isn't for me. However the training is more my speed. The catch curriculum is great even though I worked with dogs for 7 years I am still learning a lot. Excellent with student support. When I schedule a call *** is always punctual & she always takes the time to review my answers for study guide questions. Just a suggestion if it's possible to have a few dogs picked out for the students who have trouble finding a student dog to work on, for those students who's apartments doesn't allow dogs. And for the students who don't have a car. Maybe it can be included in the workshop instead of a week, 2 weeks. 1 week with student dog, and the other with shelter dogs.

    I started the Master Class with a Mentor working toward my CCDT (Catch Certified Dog Trainer). The experience so far has far exceeded my expectations. My CATCH Program Manager, ******, has been very supportive, knowledgeable, professional and encouraging throughout the process. The coursework is a variety of books, videos, articles and a CATCH study guide so I never get bored with the variety of learning material. My mentor, ****, is wicked smart and watching her teach class and work with the people and dogs is invaluable. I'm excited to be on this journey and am grateful that I chose CATCH Canine Trainers Academy!

    I am a proud recent graduate of Catch Canine Master Trainer course. This program is extremely organized and easy to follow which made working remotely and at your own pace very easy. From moment you opened up the study guide you start learning and building your knowledge of fear free, positive re-enforcement techniques. Catch provides a lot of additional books, videos and website to keep in your toolbox. Catch not only teaches techniques but they will explain the reason. The staff is the best and truly want their students to be successful. My mentor ***** was amazing, such a kind compassionate person. She definitely has a passion to teach and for animals. Thank you Catch and ************ just cannot say enough of how great this journey was.

    I am a recent graduate of CATCH Canine Trainers Academy Master Class Program. CATCH is an excellent accredited institution which offers a comprehensive and well organized curriculum. The library of reading materials written by leading experts in the field which CATCH includes are very helpful. I chose to study with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy because they utilize positive reinforcement training methods while avoiding harmful aversive training methods. CATCH training philosophy aligns with my values of animal welfare by using only positive training methods. CATCH has very knowledgeable, expert instructors who are always willing to help and to answer questions. I would highly recommend CATCH Canine Trainers Academy to anyone who is interested in becoming a professional dog trainer.

    I cant speak highly enough of this school, the staff and the curriculum. I needed a career change during ***** and had been contemplating dog training for a while. The staff got back to me quickly and explained all the options I had. ***** and ******* are amazing program directors; always responding to emails and concerns I had on the material. The curriculum covers everything from the science behind training to how to lead classes. Friendly and unformative staff. They even offer pet CPR certification. The program is force free, which is amazing for those of us that can't imagine hurting dogs to get them to behave. The school also offers practical knowledge on how to get a job and accommodates you if you have a busy schedule or are going through financial strain. Highly recommend.

    I recently graduated from CATCH's Master Program. It was very thorough and I learned a lot. I appreciated that it was "work at your own pace" and I sure did that! My Program Director, **** was a great support and a cheerleader when I needed it! Even when she wasn't available, there was always someone there to answer questions. I was also assigned a local mentor who was fantastic! She was so encouraging and knowledgeable and gave me great feedback on my training and how I present.
