Behavior

Does your dog over-react, bark growl, or lunge? Do they tremble, startle, or hide at the smallest thing? Do they suddenly become unable to hear you or use their brain when there’s something exciting or distracting around?

    "Cade was so helpful with my husky-mix! They really helped me understand why my dog does certain behaviors so that we can address things appropriately. Cade is incredibly approachable and has a judgment-free attitude that made me feel so comfortable asking questions!"

    “Cade is such an incredible trainer! They are so knowledgeable and very patient. My rescue dog Murphy is reactive and Cade helped me learn how to help him feel more comfortable and calm. It is a night and day difference and has changed our lives in so many ways!”

    Over the course of nearly 35+ years of multiple relocations in the mid-west and mid-south we have owned two Vizsla’s, a Wire Fox, and now a Golden Retriever and engaged multiple trainers for in the home and/or in a park teaching-training experiences.

    In our view, none are equivalent to Cades’ displays of breed specific knowledge and familiarity with behavioral inclinations, and strategies for approaching – engaging our dog to reflect our needs and goals for good companionship with our dog for home and travel.

    Cade is positively soft spoken insofar as their guidance and articulating strategies for us and her to engage our dog in progressive training exercises which our dog affirmatively adjusts, responds, and recalls.

    Following each training session Cade forwards detailed notes, observations, and encouraging suggestions. Especially helpful to us also is Cade responds to inquiries about our dog’s nuanced reactions or new behaviors that not infrequently arise between sessions and incorporates same in subsequent sessions.

    We genuinely consider ourselves and our Golden to be the fortunate beneficiaries of Cade’s training style, unflappable demeanor, and goal encouraged strategies.
