You love your dog but…
You’re also exhausted by your dog.
And you’re starting to wonder if it’s always going to be this hard.
You didn’t expect this. You got a dog expecting nice walks in the park and instead got a dog who lunges, shuts down, barks at strangers, or worse. You’ve tried trainers, you’ve watched all the videos and read the Reddit threads at 2am while you were up worrying about your dog, and your life.
You’ve been told to be calm, be consistent, be the leader and none of it worked. And, some of it even likely made things worse.
And now your relationship with your dog is suffering. And, maybe some of your human relationships are suffering too and you’re not sure what else to do or where to go.
I’m here to tell you that you’re not failing and it’s not a lost cause. You can still work to repair your relationship and improve both your quality of life and your dog’s. What’s missing is the right information, the right framework, the right support and a community that actually understands what it takes to love a hard dog.
You’re exactly who The Hard Dog Support Circle is built for.
This isn’t a generic dog training program. This is a community.
The Hard Dog Support Circle is a monthly membership built specifically for owners of fearful, anxious, reactive, and aggressive dogs – not as a bonus module in some other course but as the entire focus.
I’m Kate LaSala, owner of Rescued By Training. I’m a multi-credentialed, certified canine behavior consultant, positive reinforcement dog trainer, 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. Dogs who struggle with fear, anxiety, reactivity, aggression, issues with kids and dogs, resource guarding and separation anxiety are my entire behavior practice.
I built this membership because I know what it’s like to live with a fearful dog. I know what it’s like sharing your home with an aggressive dog, constantly worried about who their next victim might be. And, I hear stories from my clients every day where they’ve wasted valuable time and money on unqualified trainers who not only didn’t help their dogs but in many cases, made them worse.
But, like you, they kept searching for help, and they found me. I’ve helped over 3000 families overcome issues they thought were impossible – fear of strangers, separation anxiety, resource guarding, growling at toddlers and more.
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 hands you a prong or shock collar.
The Hard Dog Support Circle is here to give you the support, community and evidence-based training guidance you need to finally understand and help your dog and improve your relationship.

Access to Me
You’re not joining a platform managed by a team of assistants. You’re getting direct access to me. My expertise, my commitment to your dog’s wellbeing.
What changes when you have the right support?
• You understand what your dog is communicating, not just what your dog is doing.
• You empathize with your dog, because you understand what they’re feeling and struggling with.
• You stop blaming yourself and start applying a framework that actually works.
• Your household becomes less anxious because you and your dog are less anxious.
• You become the person other struggling owners reach out to.
