Madeline Doss, CATCH (in progess)

She/Her

Associate Dog Trainer, Group Class assistant

 Madeline is a lifelong animal lover with eight years of experience in dog daycares, pet sitting, and dog walking. She left the daycare industry in 2019, but never stopped longing to work with animals in some form. In 2024 she adopted her dog Olive, a sensitive rescue mutt with several behavioral challenges, and quickly realized she wasn’t equipped to help Olive on her own. After an exceedingly disheartening search through the murky waters of online dog training, Madeline found Noble Woof.

Through working with Noble Woof to help Olive overcome her separation anxiety and reactivity, Madeline discovered she had a deep passion for positive reinforcement training. She spent her free time learning as much as she could about dog behavior, before eventually enrolling in CATCH Canine Training Academy. She is currently on track to graduate in 2027, with the hopes of becoming CSAT and CCPDT-KA certified beyond that. Madeline feels strongly that you should never stop continuing your education in this (or any!) industry, and she could not be more humbled and grateful to be learning under such a dedicated, inspiring team of people.

While she’s still brand new in her career, she knows that she wants to build it on the foundation of compassion and respect for struggling dogs and their guardians. She firmly believes in treating all creatures (humans included!) with kindness, patience, and empathy. Madeline is eager to help bridge the communication gap between dogs and their guardians, and to make training engaging and accessible for all parties.

When not working or studying, Madeline spends her free time reading, taking long walks in the city with Olive, crocheting, and having movie nights with friends.
