Meet the Trainer — Cassie Le
Hi! I’m Cassie, a certified positive dog trainer dedicated to helping your dog become their best, most confident self.
My journey began when my Chihuahua, Steamer, was attacked at a dog park. Suddenly, I was facing the challenge of managing his reactivity—and I quickly learned that cookie-cutter training methods didn’t cut it. I spent thousands on corporate training programs, but the real breakthrough came when I realized dogs need training in real-life environments—not just controlled classes.
Determined to help dogs like Steamer, I dove deep into learning everything I could: I started as an entry-level trainer, devoured dog behavior books, earned certifications, and worked with friends’ dogs to put my knowledge into practice. This hands-on, compassionate approach is what I bring to every client.
I believe every dog can be a superhero with the right guidance—and I’m here to help your dog unleash theirs.

Meet the dogs
Max secretly moonlights as the Woof Hero—yes, that’s him in the logo! While Max struggles with reactivity himself, he’s an incredible teaching assistant. During training sessions, he helps demonstrate how to manage and desensitize reactive behavior.
By working around Max, clients get real-life practice keeping their dogs calm and focused—even in the presence of a hyper-reactive dog. He might not wear a cape, but he’s a true superhero in our training journey.

Steamer is my little sidekick and the dog who started it all. He inspired my entire training journey after facing reactivity challenges of his own.
While he used to help demonstrate reactivity techniques, Steamer now serves as a calming presence during sessions—especially for dogs who are nervous or unsure around others. His steady, gentle energy helps build confidence in even the most uncertain pups.
Steamer also plays an important role as our go-to dog for AKC testing. He’s proof that with patience and the right guidance, reactive dogs can become rock-solid companions.
