Exciting Announcement for 2025!
I’m thrilled to announce that I have completed Karen Pryor Academy's Dog Trainer Professional course and have officially become a Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP)!
Please note that my response times for new inquiries may continue to be delayed as I reply to requests received while completing this certification. I've been experiencing high demand and reduced capacity, leading to longer wait times for appointments.
If you are in urgent need of assistance, please consider reaching out to Little Weirdos Training. Vicky is a skilled and knowledgeable behaviour professional who is dedicated to force-free, positive reinforcement training for cats and dogs.
I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as I work to better serve you and our feline friends!
Sincerely,
Alicia @ Radiant Cats

After you fill out the form I will email you a questionnaire and begin arranging the date, time, payment options, and preferred virtual meeting platform. I check my email frequently to address urgent cases and I strive to respond promptly, however, my replies may be delayed by a week or more.
Behaviour Consulting
If you are looking for a personalized solution to your cat's behaviour problem, choose one of these options. I highly encourage you to get your cat evaluated by a veterinarian to investigate potential medical concerns that may contribute to their behaviour. A wellness exam is always going to be part of my initial recommendation. I would be happy to work with you and your veterinarian in cases where a medical concern is affecting your cat's behaviour.
Virtual Consult (1.5-2 hours)
Let's meet online!
What's included:
- I will send a questionnaire about your cat to be filled out before the consult.
- The assessment will be through a video platform of your choice and may include a house tour.
- You will receive a summary of our discussion with resources and links to recommended products.
- At least three email check-ins after the initial consult (and you can ask me questions at any time).
- One free 30-60 minute virtual follow-up.
In-Person Consult (1.5-2 hours)
I come to you!
What's included:
- I will send a questionnaire about your cat to be filled out before the consult.
- I come to your home to do the assessment in person.
- You will receive a summary of our discussion and a folder full of resources.
- At least three email check-ins after the initial consult (and you can ask me questions at any time).
- One free 30-60 minute virtual follow-up.
- A travel fee may be applied for home visits outside the Edmonton area (around $100 and will be discussed when scheduling).
Additional Follow-Up - Virtual (1 hour)
Behaviour issues are challenging and often require more time to resolve. This option is for clients who have completed an initial consult and follow-up. You can select this option for troubleshooting or to ask more questions after your initial consult.
Virtual only.
Q&A - Virtual (30 minutes)
A 30-minute virtual meeting to ask me all of your cat questions!
This is intended to be helpful advice for first-time cat guardians, new kitten adopters, or anyone who wants to know more about cat care (including tips on how to cat-ify your home). If you have a specific behaviour concern, please select one of the 90-minute consult options.
