About Me

Making our dogs & cats happy, healthy, and fulfilled is my calling

It’s time to treat our dogs and cats with the dignity and respect they truly deserve, empower them, heal them, let them rule the world, reach their full potential, and teach us how to BE 😉

Hey pet parents and animal lovers out there, This is Doaa, I’m a lifelong learner and researcher in understanding why we all behave the way we do, and how we change our behavior to the better by bringing awarness it first and foremost.

If you think that your behavior, mindset and energy don’t impact your furbabies, you are wrong; dead wrong. So first order of business, I’m a human trainer, with focus on improving and stregthening your relationship with your furbabies, showing you your own blind spots and how to raise your energy to meet theirs.

Dogs and cats have always been my lifelong lovers, childern and teachers. I raised and trained them since I was a child myself. And they were very generous in teaching me everything I now know about their behavior, how to read it, navigate it, dissolve its root causes, and get them back to their happy & healthy self.

That firing passion and lifelong experience parenting, training, and rehabilitating our magnificent dogs and cats was later turned into this business; Catffeinated The Pet Mom; owned & solely operated by me

I don’t really like to talk much about myself, but I guess I have to, so bear with me here 🙂

My Story

Taking care of animals, understanding them and communicating their needs & wants to their humans, have always been a lifelong passion of mine. I was born with a deep & strong connection with those magnificent furry creatures that I can’t really explain; except to say, they are family to me. I belong to them more than I belong to humans. Luckily, I have a human brain and I speak human language…LOL, so that helps to bridge the gap between the two species.

Born and raised in Egypt; the land of homeless pets!!!! I have rescued, fostered, rehabilitated and trained stray dogs & cats from a very young age & for almost my entire life there. It was an extremely valuable hands on experience that taught me everything I now know about dog & cat behavior, psychology, holistic training and effective communication. You would be surprised how far genuine compassion, love and care will take you even with the most hopeless cases.

Even though my career path; engineering and project management, was so far off from my passion for animals. It was my lucky ticket to move to Montreal, Canada. This is where I focused on learning about animal behavior from books & courses. And it definitely added to what I have learned hands-on first.

I reached the point where I realized that making our furbabies dogs and cats happy and fulfilled is my calling, so I moved to Vancouver and started this business in 2018. This is where my heart is.

If you get to work with me, I want you to ditch everything you know about traditional training, be prepared to do things differently; very differently..LOL. I’m very committed to get you and furbabies the results you both want and need, and create a harmonious relationship between the two of you in the process.

Which Pets do I work with?

All dogs & cats with any behaviour issues. Rescue, reactive, “aggressive”, anxious, stressed, and the ones with past trauma are my favourites. The bigger the challenge, the better, bring it on 🙂

All I want is for you to drop your judgment about their behaviour; they are doing their absolute best, be positive, hopeful and supportive to them no matter what.

I have unlimited faith in our furbabies ability to heal and adapt once we create a favourable enviroment and meet their needs for safety, love and support. They NEVER failed me, so I hope you have as much faith in your furbabies as I do.

Most pet parents; who are ready to adopt, are very intimidated by challenging cases who need work. And the ones who have them are overwhelmed; to say the least. Yes, it’s challenging, but it’s also beyond rewarding. So I truly want to help, support, and empower you because I have seen the most challenging and I have also witnessed their miraculous recovery.

Why I Can Truly Help You



Holistic & Intuitive Pet Training Approach

My pet training approach is holistic, intuitive, and fluid based on the dogs and cats I’m working with. I don’t follow any rules and I don’t have a one training method that fits all.

Every dog and every cat is different. Their individuality and uniqueness are always recognized and appreciated. Their feedback is the only thing that matters. And yes, love heals, communication matters, and food is medicine.



Deep Understanding of Pet Psychology & Behaviour

I have learned from the masters themselves through countless direct experiences with the canine and the feline masters of the universe.

I’m an avid reader, and lifelong researcher on dog and cat psychology and behaviour as well, so books and education definitely help. But without active listening, intuition, and common sense, training is useless and ineffective.



Animal Communicator by Nature

Communicating with dogs & cats is like breathing to me. I’m an animal empath by nature, so that definitely helps.

I can also feel and recognize their feelings, thoughts, and struggles, which makes me able to meet their core needs, and create a favourable environment for them to thrive, and take over the world.



Lifelong Experience

I rescued, rehabilitated, and trained dogs & cats my entire life; mostly from the steerts. So I don’t care how bad it’s because I’ve seen worse.

Take my word for it, all dogs & cats want to heal, feel empowered, and live their life to the fullest. They just need our help and support to get there.

With love, compassion, patience, and unsdertanding, they will blossom like flowers 🙂

Credentials & Memberships

You won’t find what I teach in books! The dogs & cats whom I had the honor of working with are my true teachers, and I owe it to them for giving me all the knowledge and experience I now have. Books, courses, and lifelong research on animal psychology and behavior are just the icing on the cake 🙂
