Our Cat Courses
We specialize in private 1-to-1 cat training where WE GO TO YOU!
WFA launched cat training in 2021, when we become ISFM certified in cat behaviour. Cats are complex creatures that are often misunderstood. WFA will help you learn how to understand the complexities of your adult or senior cat, or how to prepare your kitty for life.
WFA runs private classes, tailored 1-to-1 sessions where we go to your home and teach you how to train your cat and/or help you overcome behavioural concerns.
WFA offers 3 different courses that are tailored to you and your cat's needs. Payment plans are available for all courses.
