If you've been thinking:
Sound Familiar?
You’re not alone. And no, your dog isn’t a lost cause.
“I don’t want harsh methods… but treats alone aren’t cutting it either.”
“I just want a dog I can enjoy, not manage.”
“I hide in bushes to avoid passing other dogs on walks.”
“Are everyone else’s walks this chaotic and exhausting?”
“My dog listens… unless literally anything else exists.”
“I love my dog, but I’m exhausted."
… we might work well together.
Good news! This is fixable. You just need clear guidance, fun training, and someone who can convert you and your dog’s frustrations into cooperation.
BALANCED, ETHICAL TRAINING ROOTED IN PSYCHOLOGY
PHILOSOPHY
our
Because reliability matters.
Effective
Because training should feel good on both ends of the leash.
Fun
Because training isn’t the only thing on your to do list.
Practical
Because your dog isn’t a robot.
Customized
We’re here to bridge the gap between training and real-life application.
You get a training plan that is:
This is training that improves behavior and the relationship on both ends of the leash.
Fun, balanced, and founded on Learning Theory.
I started this business because I saw too many dog owners being told two equally unhelpful things:
- “Just use more treats,” or
- “You need to show them who’s boss.”
Neither works. Neither is fair.
What dogs need is clarity, communication, and compassion — not band-aids that mask behaviors, or outdated intimidation tactics.
So I built a company that blends modern reward-based methods with ethical corrections and a heavy dose of psychology, humor, and honesty.
My job? To help you understand your dog, help your dog understand you, and help both sides breathe easier again.
Hi, I'm Catey...
nice to meet you
Jess, Jay, & Iko
“Catey has truly transformed our lives and our relationship with our high-energy, highly intelligent rescue dog. With her expert guidance, we learned how to communicate effectively, establish clear boundaries, and ensure our dog is mentally and physically fulfilled. We used to struggle daily with dog reactivity, but thanks to Catey, we're now able to enjoy every outing with him, stress-free. The community Catey has built is unparalleled, and we can't recommend her and Quest K9 enough!”
Mackenzie & Laz
“Laz started as a highly insecure shelter dog who lunged at strangers and was especially reactive to children. Catey saw his potential and rose to the challenge. He was facing euthanasia in the shelter, and now he’s living his best life with my family. Catey gave me the tools and confidence to help Laz become his best self, and that has been one of my greatest accomplishments. Catey does more than train—she builds relationships and creates a community of support.
The Whitfords, Luna, Moose, & Buddy
“My family has trusted Catey and Maria with all three of our dogs. We have personally utilized the individual training sessions with one dog, and have done a board and train for our other two, one with Maria and one with Catey. Both dogs graduated with phenomenal progress and my family has been able to jump right in and continue expanding upon the training. All dogs now thrive with neutrality in public, walk and heel on a leash, and have a great recall."
Sue & Mylo
“Living his best life. That's a phrase you'll hear often in reference to one of the dogs trained by Catey or her colleague Maria if you join the Quest K9 community. What you don't hear is that it applies to the owners too! I should know; I'm one of them. I literally would not have survived with my 93 pound American Bulldog/pit mix rescue had it not been for the training and ongoing support I receive."
The Elliots & Tucker
“Catey did an amazing job training our Chocolate Labrador Tucker! He was so crazy active and had some aggression towards other dogs. We are more than happy with our results! Tucker follows so many commands.. We got more than we asked for! I highly recommend Catey!”
