Meet Your Trainer and Membership Guide
Kate LaSala, CTC, CBCC-KA, PCBC-A, CSAT, FFCP-E
Multi-certified Behavior Consultant and Your Membership Guide
As a professional dog trainer and certified behavior consultant specializing in fear and aggression, I’ve helped nearly 3000 dogs overcome issues their guardians thought were impossible – fear of strangers, separation anxiety, resource guarding, growling at toddlers and more. With over 8,400 hours of hands-on training fearful dogs, I have the relevant experience to rescue you and help you enjoy your dog again.
I have been cited by numerous media sources including the New York Times, Washington Post, AP News, Newsweek, Forbes and many others. I’m veterinarian- recommended and maintain relationships with several Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviorists, working in tandem to help clients achieve their goals. I am also a writer for the Trainer’s Ring quarterly column for the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) newsletter.
As a former shelter trainer, I partner with rescues and shelters to help adopted and foster dogs succeed. As a licensed Family Paws Parent Educator, I’m uniquely qualified to help families with babies or kids. I’m also a companion animal end-of-life doula and certified pet loss and grief companion, supporting families through every stage of their dog’s life including saying goodbye or difficult decisions like behavioral euthanasia.
Professional licensure is not required to call yourself a dog trainer in the US, so I am also deeply committed to continuing education, transparency and humane training methods. I’ve advocated for legislation to regulate educational and training standards, to implement consumer protection laws and partnered with local chapters of the HSUS to speak at town council meetings to shutter puppy mill stores in the NYC area.
If you’re struggling with fear, anxiety, reactivity or aggression issues, I can help guide you to have a happier and more harmonious life, improving both yours and your dog’s quality of life.
