If you have a hard dog and you’ve been waiting for the right support, this is it.
You love your dog.
You’re exhausted by your dog.
And you’re starting to wonder if it’s always going to be this hard.
You got a dog expecting peaceful walks in the park and instead got a dog who lunges, shuts down, barks at strangers, or shuts you out. You’ve tried trainers, read the books, watched all the videos you could find and read the Reddit threads at 2am, all while your dog panicked in the background.
None of it worked. And honestly, maybe some of it even made things worse.
And now your relationship with your dog is suffering. Maybe some of your human relationships are suffering too. You don’t know what to do and none of this what you expected.
You’re not alone and you’re not a failure. And, it’s not a lost cause. You can still repair your relationship and improve both your quality of life and your dog’s. You’re just missing the right support, structured, vetted information, a framework to guide you and a community that actually understands what it means to love a hard dog.
You’re exactly who The Hard Dog Support Circle is built for.
The Hard Dog Support Circle is a monthly membership built specifically for owners of fearful, anxious, reactive, and aggressive dogs.
I’m Kate LaSala, owner of Rescued By Training and a multi-credentialed, certified canine behavior consultant, Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT) and companion animal end-of-life doula and pet loss grief companion. I specialize in the cases many trainers turn away. Fear, anxiety, reactivity, aggression, issues with kids and dogs, resource guarding and separation anxiety are not add-ons to my behavior practice. They are my entire behavior practice.
I built this membership because I know what it’s like to love a hard dog. I know the worry, exhaustion and feeling that you’ve tried everything but nothing is working. I’ve also sat with clients who wasted time and money on unqualified trainers who didn’t just fail to help but made things worse. Through all of it, they kept going, kept looking for more help, just like you. And now you’ve found it.
I’ve helped over 3,000 dogs work through issues their owners thought would never change, including fear of strangers, separation anxiety, resource guarding, reactivity, and more. Real progress is possible, even when it hasn’t felt that way.
You and your dog deserve more than a Facebook group, a Reddit thread full of conflicting opinions, advice from well-meaning friends and family members or a trainer who reaches for a prong or shock collar.
The Hard Dog Support Circle is a place to belong. You’ll find community, expert-overseen resources, and evidence-based guidance to help you understand your dog and move forward together.
