What Makes a "Happy Dog" (and a Happy Owner)
A truly well-behaved dog isn’t just obedient they’re relaxed, confident, and connected. Through positive reinforcement and science-based training, we focus on creating emotional balance as much as teaching skills.
Your dog learns how to navigate real-life challenges with curiosity instead of stress, and you learn how to guide them with clarity and confidence.
Because a happy, well-adjusted dog doesn’t come from pressure it comes from partnership.

Our Approach
At the Neutral Dog we take a thoughtful, whole-dog approach to training. That means looking beyond the surface behaviors and understanding what your dog needs to feel calm, confident, and ready to learn.
Using positive, proven methods, we give you the tools to create lasting change while keeping training stress-free and fun.
You’ll walk away with a deeper connection, better communication, and a dog who fits beautifully into your everyday life.
Real Talk
There will be moments when things don’t go perfectly. When your dog forgets their cue, or when frustration sneaks in after a long day. That’s normal. Progress isn’t always linear, but with the right plan, support, and perspective, it’s absolutely possible.

Hi, I’m Cate!
And I’ve been exactly where you are.
When I brought home my first puppy, I thought I was completely prepared… until reality hit. I made mistakes (a lot of them), got frustrated, and questioned if I was doing it right. Luckily, that puppy turned out more than okay he’s now an 8-year-old guide dog doing incredible work.
Since then, I’m currently raising my 8th puppy in 8 years and helped hundreds more through private training and group classes. What I’ve learned is this: getting a new dog doesn’t have to be chaos. With the right plan, guidance, and mindset, it can actually be fun.
I created The Lifetime Happiness Plan to help new dog parents start off strong building habits, trust, and confidence that last a lifetime. My goal is to make training simple, positive, and something you actually enjoy doing together.
I can't wait to meet you and your pup and help you build a life you both love!
