    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.

    Catch is an amazing school with the most understanding and compassionate program directors. I had the best experience! Even though I struggled through going to school while working a full time job and taking care of my 3 year old, ****** always encouraged me to keep going!!! I will always recommend them to anyone wanting to join the dog training force.

    I aboslutely LOVED my experience with CATCH. I recently graduated from their Master Course with a Mentor and feel like it gave me a great foundation of knowledge to continue my work in supporting dogs and their humans. My program director, *****, was truly amazing and helped with any questions I had. ***** and the other program directors always responded promptly to any questions or concerns throughout the program. I did have some difficulty scheudling my skills evaluations due to some technical issues, but ***** was positive and quick to help sort them out! My local mentor was wonderful! I observed her Basic Obedience class and was able to ask questions after each class. She also allowed me to observe one of her puppy kindergarten classes, which was an amazing (and adorable) experience where I was able to learn first hand how to handle a class like that!Overall, I feel like the program prepared me to continue on in my career and continue to work towards new and more advanced certifications. I will alwasy have a solid foundation of knowledge thanks to CATCH!

    Completing the Master Class Certification, CCDT, at CATCH Canine Trainers Academy has been a transformative experience for me. The depth of knowledge and practical skills I gained is unparalleled. Each module was meticulously designed to build on the last, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of canine behavior and training techniques. The expert instructors were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, pushing me to excel and expand my capabilities. The real-world application through hands-on training sessions profoundly enhanced my confidence and effectiveness as a dog trainer. I now feel fully equipped to tackle any training challenge and am proud to be a certified professional with credentials from such a reputable institution. CATCH's commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of their training, and I am excited to continue applying and sharing all that I've learned. For anyone serious about achieving the pinnacle of dog training expertise, the Master Class Certification, CCDT at CATCH is the ultimate choice."

    I couldn’t possibly have given CATCH Academy anything other than five stars.
    Unless I were allowed ten. The education I received and all the support from Morgan, my student advisor, not only helped me on my journey, it thought me how to best be of help to my current, and future clients and students. Thank you so much Morg. And thank you, CATCH Academy. Let’s GO!!!!!????

    I loved everything about this program! The curriculum is wonderfully thorough, and the mentors and staff are nothing but supportive and helpful. It took me a long time to get through the Master Class (the 10 phase program is self-paced), but I never felt like I was pushed in any way, or behind where I should be. Every student is treated like theyre the only student, which is an amazing feeling. I feel confident and prepared to begin my career as a certified professional dog trainer with all the knowledge Ive gained through the program, but especially knowing that I continue to have this team of CATCH mentors and staff behind me, supporting me any time I need it going forward! If youre contemplating a career as a professional dog trainer, I highly recommend CATCH!
