Cass Goodnight, RVT, CPDT-KA has been a Veterinary Nurse since 2011 working in a variety of settings such as animal shelters, general practices, and emergency clinics. She has shared her home with dogs since the day she was born and always had an affinity for their overall wellness, both medically and behaviorally. After over 10 years in the Animal Welfare and Veterinary world, Cass began training dogs formally through Goodnight Pup Canine Training Services LLC as a means to fill a demand for highly skilled canine professionals who could help dogs and their humans live better lives together.

Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVT) Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) Elite Fear Free Certified Professional AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator

Behavioral issue focus:

I specialize in working with dogs experiencing different degrees of reactivity such as barking/lunging at other dogs on leash, dogs fearful of strangers in/out of the home, reactivity towards a new baby in the home, and fear & aggression in the veterinary or grooming setting.

Dog training methods:

I am a Fear-Free Certified, positive-reinforcement trainer. I do not train using force or punishment but rather I offer practical, humane training methods that lead to a lifelong understanding between a person and a dog. The first step to start any training plan is to schedule a consultation, information on the process and fees can be found on my website, goodnightpup.com.

Why I became a dog trainer:

An interest in canine wellness overall--medical, behavioral, and emotional.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

Building relationships with clients and seeing their "ah ha!" moments when their dog finally understands what they've been trying to communicate all along.

My #1 dog training tip:

Treat your dog like a toddler--be fun, fair, and consistent with them. Reinforce the behavior you like and redirect the behavior you don't. Nobody is perfect, so don't push perfection on your dog either.
