Most behavioral issues with cats can be lessened if not completely resolved through basic training (yes, a cat can learn to sit, lay down, jump through a hoop, and come when called!), behavior modification and some good old- fashioned play. The trick is knowing HOW to play with a cat. Just dangling a toy in front of their face isn't going to cut it! Many instances of what seems like “aggression”—especially biting or scratching of hands and legs—is actually not aggression at all, it's the sign of an under-stimulated cat trying to entertain itself!

​I specialize in getting to the root of why your cat may be displaying certain unwanted behaviors, helping you implement a good prevention and management plan right away so they will stop “practicing” the behavior (and getting better at it!). I will also demonstrate some training and behavior modification techniques you can get started with to teach your cat an alternate set of behaviors that are rewarding for them, and less disruptive and destructive to you and your household.
