Holistic Pet Training
Transforming Pets With Love & Respect
1-on-1 Pet Coaching Sessions & Training Programs
Making your dogs & cats happy and fulfilled, dissolving the root causes of their behaviour problems for good, and showing you how to treat them the way they want to be treated, is what I do 🙂
Holistic Pet Training Does Magic … Here’s Why
Behavior doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
Everything in our lives—our environment, lifestyle, daily routines, and relationships—shapes our dogs and cats, and they respond in their own unique way.
When we work with our beloved pets, rather than just resisting or suppressing their behaviors, everything shifts. True understanding replaces frustration, and real change becomes possible.
That’s where holistic behavioral modification comes in. Instead of just managing symptoms, we get to the root cause of behavior challenges and dissolve them for good.
This approach treats our precious pets with the love, respect, and deep understanding they truly deserve—while keeping their happiness, emotional balance, and overall well-being at the heart of everything we do.
Here’s a short list of what I can help you with:
Dissolving the root causes of behavior problems
Understanding unique personality types, needs, wants, and how to meet them
Empowerment - Boosting confidence to reduce fear, anxiety, and reactivity
Holistic healing, therapy, and past trauma recovery

What Pet Parents Say…
★★★★★
Doaa spent three months helping Toby, our senior rescue chihuahua mix, with wonderful results for our family.
She has a true gift for understanding the needs of complex animals, especially those that may have experienced trauma or abuse in their lives.
She was able to understand his emotional needs and stresses and came up with workable and creative solutions for us to meet those needs. As a result, there were many positive behavioural changes for our family.
Within three months, Toby was visibly happier. He barked much less frequently and a stress-related skin condition cleared up.
The number of accidents he had inside our home drastically reduced. And he became more tolerant of my one year old daughter.
Our family is so grateful to Doaa for her care for Toby and beautiful understanding of his needs.
We are so glad we made the investment to hire her. Our only regret is not hiring her sooner- we recommend her extremely highly!

I have two toy poodle dogs one is 12 years old and one is 2 years old. I decided to add two Bengal kittens to my family. I have never had cats before, and wanted to make sure to add them safely.
I signed up for 7 sessions with Doaa and so glad I did. She walked me through exactly what I had to do set up all the animals for success and create a loving family.
From furniture set up, to house layout, to introductions, to how to read and understand any behaviour issues that could arise.
After just a couple months all my pets are able to share the space and get along so well.
Doaa has been so helpful, supportive and responsive the entire process. I highly recommend working with her!! Thank you Doaa 🙏💜

As a dedicated pet parent of a spirited corgi, I wanted someone who truly understands dogs and can handle their unique personalities – especially a dog like mine who has huge boundaries and doesn’t appreciate them being crossed.
I’m so grateful for Doaa. My corgi can be very reactive, and finding someone with some unique ideas, patience, skill, and understanding to handle my corgi’s reactivity was such a challenge.
Doaa’s consistent approach has made a noticeable difference in my dog’s behaviour.
My corgi now sits and watches people pass by out the window, is less fearful with visitors, and has improved a lot on walks.
Each walk isn’t just exercise; it’s a structured training session where my corgi learns to manage reactivity and focus in real-world situations.
I like that her focus is on my dog and what would work best for him.

We are incredibly blessed to have found Doaa at Catffeinated The Pet Mom.
Our kitty was struggling with litter box issues, and we were feeling lost—until we met Doaa.
She has an exceptional ability to truly understand cats, and her patience, knowledge, and compassion made all the difference.
She took the time to listen to our concerns, thoughtfully assessed the situation, and provided practical, insightful advice tailored to our kitty’s needs.
Her passion for animals shines through in everything she does. Thanks to her guidance, we’re already seeing positive changes! We couldn’t be more grateful.

Two of my three cats kept fighting and it was driving me, and them, crazy, I needed help for sure!!After trying several books with no success I found Doaa online and thought it was worth a try. It initially seemed like quite a bit of money, but the hours Doaa has put in to help me make it excellent value.She is an amazing source of knowledge for all things cat and has a solution for every issue that comes up, even for things we didn’t know might be a problem when we started!!She is very flexible and happy to work with me to adjust her solutions to apply specifically to my cats, and their issues.She has also taught me alot so I can better tell what it is my cats want from me. Happy cats… happy me!!😺😺😺😁 Doaa is truly a fantastic cat Mom!!

As a first time cat mom, I wanted to provide the best nutrition and environment for my cat but I was quite unsure how since I was inexperienced.
Doaa has helped me tremendously and I am very grateful for everything she taught me.
She showed me the good food brands so I know my cat has the best nutrition. She taught me how to raise a strong, confident and independent cat, how to regulate my cat’s energy, how to communicate and build a strong bond with my cat and how to navigate the crazy adolescent cat stage.
She also showed me how to cat proof my apartment to ensure my cat is 100% safe.
Her deep understanding of cats and their behaviour allows her to assess the situation and identify what my cat was trying to tell me.
I totally recommend Doaa if you ever need some guidance on how to provide the best for your beloved pet.
Thank you very much for all your support Doaa! I couldn’t have done this without you! 🙏
