Dog Training
Whether you have a rambunctious new puppy, a recently-adopted adolescent, or a dignified older dog who just needs some refinement, Blue Collar Doghouse can help you train yourself to succeed. We offer a rotating, curriculum-based series of Basic Training classes, Intermediate Out-and-About classes, Puppy Foundation/play group sessions, and Teenage Life Skills/play group sessions. We also provide individual training sessions for our daycare dogs who need practice or refinement on a specific behavior or skill.
Do you need individualized help with training or behaviors at home? We also offer private, in-home sessions to work one-on-one with you to help set you and your dog up for success.

Meet the Trainer
Cathy Madson, MA, CPDT-KA, ABCDT, is an Animal Behavior College certified dog trainer and certified by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Cathy focuses on positive reinforcement and training to build a lasting bond between you and your dog. Cathy began her professional training career at a local shelter in 2008, where she dealt with common behavior issues such as separation anxiety and housebreaking that frequently cause pet relinquishment. In 2010, she opened her own dog training business and started offering group classes and private in-home sessions, with a special focus on family-friendly training. Having grown up surrounded by Rottweilers and the random stray dogs that showed up on the doorstep, Cathy believes that both the children and the adults in your family should experience the benefits and the joys of dog ownership. She currently shares her life with Sookie, an eight-year-old Welsh Cardigan Corgi. |
