Melissa Cate
Melissa started with CPT as a Beginner student. During her Beginner class, we noticed her aptitude
with animals and her communication abilities. As she continued through our Intermediate, Advanced and
Competition programs, Melissa asked about entering CPT’s in-house apprentice program.
We eagerly accepted her request. After an 18-month apprenticeship, Melissa graduated with honors and
has served as a CPT Trainer for the past year. In addition to her career specific education at CPT,
Melissa graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy.
Melissa owns two Boxers, Zeek and Nemo. Melissa and Zeek compete in both obedience and agility.
In obedience, Melissa and Zeek have earned an AKC Novice Obedience (CD) title, including a third place finish,
and are training for their Open (CDX) title. In agility, Melissa and Zeek have earned a United States Dog
Agility Association (USDAA) Starters Snookers title and Starter Pairs Relay title and have achieved
qualifying runs toward titles, including several placements and one first-place finish, from other
sanctioning organizations. The USDAA currently lists Zeek as the sixth ranked agility Boxer in the Southeast.
Melissa teaches group classes at CPT’s Marietta, Alpharetta, and Johns Creek locations.
In addition, she performs in-home private lessons,
board training, and boarding services for CPT.
