I've got a Great Pyrenees Lab Mix I rescued, so I've got experience with dogs with behavioral concerns ( highly reactive). I'm still figuring out my schedule but please message me if you need some assistance with your pets.

FAQs for finding cat trainers near you

A cat trainer is an expert in cat behavior and socialization who works with cat owners to help them better understand their cat and manage any issues that arise. They provide cat owners with the training and resources necessary to ensure the cat's wellbeing, such as making the home safe for cats, creating cat-friendly environments, quelling problem behaviors, and teaching basic obedience commands. Cat trainers are also knowledgeable about teaching cats to do tricks like jumping through hoops or trapping objects. Through well-rounded instruction, cat trainers help felines of all ages learn appropriate habits and how to live harmoniously in their forever homes.

Hiring a cat trainer can be beneficial to cat owners who want to foster positive relationships with their cats. Professional cat trainers possess the experience and knowledge necessary to create cat-friendly learning environments while teaching behavior modification techniques. Cats are intelligent animals and, with careful guidance from qualified cat trainers, have the potential to understand commands. Furthermore, cat trainers can help cat owners develop an understanding of their cat's individual needs so that both parties can better coexist in harmony.

The cost to hire a cat trainer will vary based on the experience of the cat trainer and the cat training services needed, as well as the number of cats in the household. The average cost of cat trainers on Care.com is $16.37 per hour.

Finding a cat trainer on Care.com is simple and effective! Once you find a cat trainer that looks suitable for your cat's needs, read the reviews left by other cat owners and contact them directly through Care.com to ask questions, detail your needs, and set up an appointment.

When looking for a cat trainer, it is important to ask them some key questions to make sure they are the right fit. Start by asking how long they have been training cats and what their area of expertise is. What methods do they use and what steps do they take in cat training? Do they use any rewards or tools? It's also important to know if the cat trainer has experience with cat health concerns, as some cat breeds may have special requirements. Lastly, confirm that the cat trainer is well-versed in cat behavior and can effectively handle any issues that may come up while training. Asking these questions can help you find the perfect cat trainer for your pet!
