Who We Are
Hi, I’m Vicky!
I am the resident cat (and dog!) lady and am passionate about elevating our understanding of cats and cat behaviour to the level it is for dogs. Cats are so often misunderstood but they are truly incredible animals.
I love supporting you with any and all cat behaviour - inter-cat conflict, litterbox issues (my fav!), or thinking through how to introduce a second cat to your home. I also get to blend the best of both worlds - dogs and cats - and I am excited to offer cat-dog integration services to ensure your multi-species home is calm, stress-free, and harmonious.
My other true love is enrichment and I bring a heavy enrichment focus to both my cat and my dog behaviour work - particularly with fearful or nervous dogs. I will get you hooked, too.
I can’t wait to work with you!
Hey there, I’m Liz!
My job is to morph into you and your dog’s one-woman-cheerleading-and-sometimes-swearing-team and I take my job very seriously. I am endlessly inspired by the resilient dogs I get to meet and the incredible humans who care for them. It’s a privilege to work alongside you.
As a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer I specialize in helping dogs learn how to be happy home alone so that you can leave your house stress-free. As the only Dynamic Dog Practitioner in Alberta, I am proud to offer gait and movement analysis as both a stand-alone behavioural offering and integrated in all my dog behaviour work.
I can’t wait to help you put all the pieces of your dog’s behavioural puzzle together and create the joyful life you want with your dog.
Let’s do this!

What you can expect when working with us
We don’t view behaviour as a problem that needs to be fixed - instead, we focus on the why behind the behaviour. We help you understand your pet better to address the issues that are causing stress.
We know that behaviour doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Our approach is comprehensive, focusing on your pet’s mental and physical health and wellness in addition to teaching new skills.
All of our training plans—whether they are for a dog with separation anxiety or a new kitten —are force-free and formulated in collaboration with you, taking into account your pet as an individual, your unique family, and your goals.
Why train with Little Weirdos?
We believe training should be humane and evidence-based while also embracing the silliness and joy that our pets bring to our lives.
We do our best to deliver the most up-to-date and evidence-based techniques and information because, to be honest, we’re pretty big nerds. We love to expand our knowledge and learn from the best in animal behaviour so we can share it with you.
We love dogs and cats and humans and we promise we’ll support YOU just as much as we’ll support your pet.
