Upcoming Online Workshops:

Speak Dog: Mastering the Art of Canine Body Language, with Catherine Comden

Start Date: September 15, 2025

**ENROLL NOW**

Learn to speak the language that dogs are using! Dogs are communicating with us, and each other, constantly – but unless you know how to read their subtle signals, it’s easy to miss what they’re really saying. In this powerful workshop, you’ll learn to decode canine body language like a pro and respond with skill and confidence. This course blends science, real-life video analysis, and engaging discussion to help you understand dogs – what they’re feeling, what they need, and how to positively impact their behavior for training success.

Instructors: Liv Craft and Catherine Comden

Meet Your Guest Instructor:

In addition to being a pro trainer and behavior counselor, Catherine Comden has been a trainer of hearing alert and service dogs, a breeder of service dogs, and a behavior program manager at a busy, open-admissions shelter. She is also the leading writer of the CATCH Curriculum and leader of the CATCH Community! Catherine has decades of experience “talking dog” on the highest level and she can’t wait to share her tips and tricks with you.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn to accurately identify key signals and understand the meaning behind a dog’s posture, facial expressions, movement, and vocalizations.
• Build fluency in reading real-time interactions between dogs and people, or dog-to-dog, using video analysis and guided observation techniques.
• Gain the ability to read a dog’s emotion and intent. Recognize early warning signs of fear, anxiety, and aggression – before behavior escalates.
• Build confidence in using body language interpretation to make better training decisions and prevent conflict.
• Connect with fellow learners and Catherine in our private online CATCH Community as you practice “speaking dog” together.

From Sit to Spectacular – Build Any Behavior & Overcome Training Challenges

Start Date: October 13, 2025

**ENROLL NOW**

Unlock the secrets to building any behavior from the ground up! From basics to advanced skills, this workshop will show you how to create the “recipe” for success with reward-based training. You’ll gain the confidence to design or adjust training plans to fit each unique dog, troubleshoot challenges as they come up, and expand your trainer’s toolbox with flexible strategies. With expert guidance and encouragement from your instructors and peers in our private CATCH Community, you’ll be set up to turn creative ideas into reliable results.

Instructors: Jayne Fine, Devi Do, and Caitlin Hogan

Learning Objectives:

• Build confidence and skill in how to build any behavior from scratch using reward-based methods.
• Whether it’s basic or advanced, a task or a trick, you’ll learn how to “cook up” the recipe needed to get the behavior you want the dog to perform.
• Develop your ability to create or modify a training plan to match the dog in front of you.
• Learn how to handle real world training challenges as they arise, filling your toolbox with alternate ways to teach different dogs and people.
• All of this while getting support from your expert instructors and classmates in our private online CATCH Community!
