"I attended Cathy’s SafeK9 Bite Prevention workshop in 2017. As an adult, and lifetime dog owner, I was surprised to find out how much I didn’t know about dogs! The workshop kept the children engaged and interested, with fun interactive activities, making the learning fun and informative at the same time! It was a great workshop. Cathy is very knowledgeable when it comes to keeping our canine friends safe! "
