I will travel anywhere and everywhere to help a dog in need!

My name is Cassie-Leigh Stock, and I have been training dogs in the Hopkinton/Bellingham area for over four years and offer pet obedience for those with higher expectations, puppy classes, therapy dog prep, Canine Good Citizen certification, reactive dog classes, trick classes, clicker training, breed-specific courses, service dog training, seminars ranging from coming when called to loose-leash walking, private in-home training, and more.

I trained at a major corporate chain for several years, two of which were spent training trainers for parts of MA, CT and RI.

I love and work with dogs of all kinds, but as the founder and president of the New England Bully Breed Club, I specialize in pit bulls and other bully breeds.

I have the unique ability to help socialize and distraction train your dog with my what-I-call "Pit Crew/Dream Team" which is a traveling group of volunteer dogs and handlers who are specially trained to help in those situations. They are AMAZING (and, in case you are wondering, the benefit to them is that they get to train/work their dogs for free as well as help another dog in need). Everybody wins!

I am certified through Animal Behavior College and an approved Canine Good Citizen evaluator through the American Kennel Club. I am currently enrolled at Penn Foster and working on my NADOI (National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors) certification.

I am available for consultations and in-home private training, as well as accessible through the NEBBC's many training opportunities.

I am the in-house trainer for Lucky Dogs Daycare facility on 80 Sumner Street in Milford, MA.

Basic Obedience classes, Puppy K, and All-Pit-Bull I, II & III are being offered now, as well as Drop-In classes and specialized workshops.

Drop-In Obedience classes are taking place weekly, every Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Happy training!

  I have attended several of Cassie's drop-in obedience classes since February, with my now one year old dog Noel. When I first got Noel she was not trained and didn't even know her name. I attended my first class that Cassie taught and in the first 10 minutes Noel was responding to her name and by the end of the class she had learned some other things for us to work on. Since then she has learned much more and is learning very fast in the group class setting.
  
  The group class setting provides great distractions to the dogs to really work them, and make sure that they listen when other dogs are around that they may want to go meet, say hi to or play with. it also lets the dogs make some more friends and socialize with the other dogs.
  
  Cassie is a great trainer that is very patient, will tell you what you are doing perfectly and also how to make minor (or major) corrections on what you are doing to get a better response from the dog. She also takes the time to explain what is going on in the dog's head and why certain things get certain reactions from them. She will also listen to you if you have something in particular you want to focus on, or something that you need to work on or a goal to work towards (Such as working on dog/people aggression or socialization, behaving better on the leash or needing to pass a canine test).
  
  She also will make suggestions of things you may want to try with your dog that will help in training or just the time at home (Such as a different collar, different leash or a backpack to give the dog a job). Noel is a German Shepherd mix and she suggested a backpack for her. I got the backpack and Noel seems to really like it and the extra weight in it to haul around on her walks helps tire her out more so that when we get home he energy level makes her extremely easy to manage. It gives her a job to do while we are on her walks and she seems to like that.
  
  I am still going to her classes and making more and more progress with Noel.
  
  Since I got Noel (Late January) it has only been about 3 months since I have had her, and training started in February. In Cassie's class she has made much faster progress than I had anticipated and has come leaps and bounds since the first class. I am very happy with the services I have received and I highly recommend taking any of her classes whether your dog is just starting down the path of a trained dog or you have a well trained dog with just a couple specific areas to work on or tricks to learn.

  I met Cassie at an NEBBC walk back in the Fall of 2011, and right from the start her expertise was evident. Her suggestions on that first day were helpful and non-judgemental. I later hired Cassie to personally help me train my pit bull mix, Finn. Her approach is professional, kind, sincere, and useful! Finn and I feel at ease with Cassie whether it is in a class or one-on-one session. I have found Cassie's ability to communicate with Finn and me through analogies and personal experience examples an invaluable part of her excellent training approach.

  Cassie and I have never met in person, but have corresponded through email. I have turned to Cassie for information and assistance with my non-profit organization, PAWS for Change. Cassie has always been my go to person with questions and concerns regarding pits. She is an amazing person dedicated to an equally difficult and necessary cause.

  I can very highly recommend Cassie! Asher walked past two dogs on the bike path today, less than 10 feet away, without a peep! This is the same dog that only a few months ago snarled, screamed and lunged at any dog he saw. I can see him make progress with every walk and training session and so much of this is thanks to Cassie and the training techniques she has taught us.

  Cassie-Leigh Stock was absolutely amazing in helping me train my stubborn bulldog puppy. She is a great trainer and is just truly wonderful with dogs and in working with their owners. She is very professional, and is great at what she does. I Highly recommend Cassie to anybody looking for a great dog training experience.

  Cassie trains with love and respect for you and your dog. Her love for dogs, and training style is top notch. You will find yourself going to find her to brag about how well your dog is doing after your training has ended or to go into a higher level of traing with your best friend. I have trained with her and my girls still get excited when they hear her name. Do the best for your dog and seak her out she willl not dissapoint.

  we had just adopted Bella from Brockton animal control the day before we met Cassie. We signed her up for classes and over the 8 weeks she helped Bella and our family teach her how to be a great puppy. Bella is a mix mastiff boxer (we think she has some Staffordshire terrier in her) she is now 75lbs and she still needs some work but cassie gave us the tools to train her right. We hope to make her a therapy dog soon and get her cgc. We thank you for all your help with Bella. We also belong to her group NEBC.

  Cassie is a wonderful dog trainer. The best ever!! I never had dogs before in my life and she explained to me fully why they behave the way they do and how to train them and why it was necessary, both for them and for me. I learned so much in our training lessons. She is so enthusiastic. She is great with all types of dogs. My dogs were little puggles. I highly recommend her for dog training. You will be so satisfied and you will have alot of fun!!

  Cassie took our very hyper and destructive puppy and helped us make him into a well behaved lovable superstar. She taught us how to keep him out of trouble, keep his mind active on things he should be doing and we constantly get compliments on what a well behaved dog we have! Thanks Cassie!

  When I first bought my Shih-Poo, Tucker, I knew immediately that I wanted this dog to be successful. I knew that having Tucker be successful would take a combination of the right trainer and hard work on my part. I looked into some of the “fancy trainers” with their even fancier price tags, but they didn’t impress me much. Tucker and I have taken four classes with Cassie (from puppy to advanced). Cassie’s demeanor as a trainer is like no other. She is patient and positive with every dog. She never seems to be afraid of taking on a “challenged” dog. Tucker went from a rebellious puppy to an extremely well behaved mush ball. All who know him compliment him highly and many have since gone to Cassie after seeing how well behaved he is. He loves to be obedient and everyone who meets him falls in love with him. He also really loves to show off his tricks like rolling over or just his simple commands like “place” where he goes to his bed and lies down. I am very thankful to Cassie for turning my rebellious puppy into the love of our lives.

  All you need to do is see her dog "Spark Plug" in action to know what she is capable of. Her gentle way of leading you and your dog through the learning process is unparalleled. Cassie knows how to get her point across without making you feel belittled or uncomfortable and that makes for a fun, productive and educational experience that you look forward to again and again. I believe in giving credit where credit is due and for just the cost of a few bags of good quality dog food, she can help you to accomplish the bond of mutual respect that is necessary for a lifetime of happiness between you and your "Best Friend". I've seen her work with dogs of all ages and it doesn't seem to matter. The look on people's faces when there dog responds is always a treat. In life, you don't always get what you paid for but with Cassie, I truly believe you get more!

  Cassie is the most kind hearted, knowledgeable, energetic person you could ever have to train your dog. She puts her heart and soul into every dog { and human } that has the privilege of having her as a trainer. She will be the best move you will ever make for your dog.
