Catskill Mountain Canine Relationship-based Dog Training and Pet Care with 8+ years of experience training and caring for pets and working dogs.

As a current veterinary technician student my experiences with dogs (and other animals) also include, having pets of my own, working in local shelters, completing disaster search and rescue, and emergency disaster care. Most recently I traveled to the affected areas of hurricane Harvey where I rescued and cared for displaced animals. In addition, I've worked with all ages of animals as well as those with severe behavioral and health issues both in my home and in shelter situations. If you want someone who is comfortable around all types of dogs as well as confident in their abilities, I believe I am the handler for you. My main goal is the safety and happiness of your pets and with my years of experience, I believe that I can provide that to your pets as well as provide peace of mind to you. I have animal first aid experience and have administered fluids, topical, oral and injectable treatments. I also have an extensive awareness of the foods that are dangerous to dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible as I work both inside and outside of the house with various clients every week. With of my wide range of experiences and flexible schedule I will try my best to accommodate your schedule and special pet requests. It is my policy to reserve the right to adjust prices on lesser valued services (Walking and Drop-Ins) if they are 15 minutes or more from my home. If the service location is approximately 20 minutes away from my home, I may consider it outside of my service area, especially in regards to locations on the east bank of the Hudson River. You may also like to know that the rate listed for house sitting includes, breakfast, dinner, and my overnight time. While I strive to spend as much time as possible in your home during a sitting, this is the maximum amount of time that I can guarantee during my business periods without additional service fees. In regards to drop-ins and walks, I offer longer walk and drop-in requests for an additional fee. Please contact me regarding rates for your extended visits.

Sometimes what looks like "bad behavior" is actually communication. 🐾

Here are three things your dog might be trying to tell you:

1. “I need some space.”
Walking away, avoiding interaction, or moving behind you can be your dog's way of communicating discomfort.

2. “This is too much for me.”
Overstimulation can make it difficult for a dog to think, learn, or respond to cues they normally know.

3. “I don't understand what you want.”
If a behavior hasn't been clearly taught or reinforced in that particular situation, your dog may genuinely be unsure what you're asking.

Understanding behavior starts with learning to listen.

The goal isn't simply to stop a behavior. It's to understand what's happening underneath it so we can respond appropriately. 🤎

We want to take a moment to thank our clients.

Why Catskill Mountain Canine?

At Catskill Mountain Canine, we believe dogs aren't "broken." More often, there's simply a miscommunication between dogs and humans.

Our job isn't just to teach a dog a behavior. It's to help people understand their dogs, communicate more clearly, and create routines and expectations that work in real life.

That means looking at the individual dog in front of us, not applying the exact same approach to every dog.

Our training is relationship-based, practical, and designed around the needs of both ends of the leash.

If you're looking for professional dog training in the Saugerties, Kingston, or Woodstock area, we'd love to help.

BREAKING NEWS:
The USDA, APHIS, DOJ, and HHS held a joint press conference today to update the public on the Strike Force's efforts to crack down on puppy mills. “Animal welfare is not up for negotiation and public trust” was the overall theme of the conversation today and that echoed through the meeting.

You can watch the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/live/00WWt8SlTbM

Below you will find a few takeaways we heard through the press conference. In parenthesis you will read our thoughts or impact on the issue!

-Since February they have begun to crack down on chronic and severe violators. APHIS has taken 30 actions to improve enforcement of the AWA and has terminated 8 licenses (This is their statement, we have not independently verified).

- They are working to strengthen USDA inspector consistency and training to help the inspection process. (This has been a topic that we have been engaging on quite a bit after reviewing thousands of reports and seeing how an inconsistent inspection process can leave a lot of gaps.)

- The USDA began targeting unlicensed breeding activity. (This is where our research has been extremely helpful. We are extensively researching unlicensed dog breeding and brokering operations across the country and filing compliance complaints to bring them into regulation.)

-They said they also plan to take additional aggressive steps to create a regulatory proposal to strengthen AWA standards for dog breeding operations after more than 7500 public comments came in. They also plan to use the rule making process to strengthen licensing requirements.

-They also announced the deployment of an “Animal Protection Bureau” in order to root out unlicensed breeders and bring them into compliance. The DOJ also announced a portal for concerned citizens to report animal abuse complaints.

- They also plan to send regular reminder notices to breeders about the laws and regulations they are expected to follow.

What do you think about their statements?
