High Paw Club is a dog training business led by Cat, a positive reinforcement trainer based in Lansdowne, PA. She specializes in helping dogs with fear, anxiety, aggression, resource guarding, and low confidence through personalized training that builds trust and communication between dogs and their guardians. Services include private in-home and virtual training, group classes for puppies, adolescents, and adults, day care with behavioral enrichment, and boarding with training components. Her “Welcome Home” package supports new puppy or rescue owners, while her “FUNdamentals” and “Strategic Learning” programs focus on patience, boundaries, focus, and impulse control. She also offers an off-leash course and a Social Club daycare that teaches dogs to interpret body language and respond reliably to commands. Cat emphasizes empowering owners to communicate effectively with their dogs, keeping training hands-off to strengthen the human-dog bond.

She provides all services at her facility located at 193 Berkley Ave, Lansdowne, PA, and offers virtual sessions. Her training is rooted in reward-based methods, avoiding punishment, and she tailors programs to individual dogs’ needs, especially those with behavioral challenges.

Additional services include daily daycare, overnight boarding, and board-and-train programs with follow-up support. All programs require an initial evaluation to ensure proper placement.

Accomplishments

Cat has trained dogs through volunteer work at shelters and community programs during the COVID pandemic and has helped numerous families in DelCo and Philly improve their dogs’ behavior and confidence. She is recognized by clients for her deep understanding of dog body language and compassionate, effective training methods.
