Hi, I’m Samhain

I’m something of a cat nerd-turned dog nerd-(re)turned cat nerd. I use evidence-based training and behavior modification techniques that prioritize the wellbeing of the learners — cat and human alike. My primary goal is to get you and your cat on the same team so that we can all work together to find behavior solutions that work for everyone.

I became the professional “cat person” nearly a decade ago, gaining experience in pet sitting, medical care, and rescue before focusing on behavior. In all of these fields, my primary interest was how we can best support our feline companions to live in a very human-y world through understanding and kindness.

I am a Fear Free Certified Professional, a graduate of Karen Pryor Academy, and a member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. (I’m also a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, but you don’t care about that!)
