Owner/Trainer/Behavior Consultant/Death Doula, Rescued By Training, LLC

Kate LaSala, CTC, CBCC-KA, PCBC-A, CSAT, FFCP-E is a multi-credentialed dog trainer and behavior consultant (with more letters after her name than in her name!) who specializes in fear, aggression and separation anxiety cases, helping dogs and their people worldwide with one-on-one remote sessions. She is also a companion animal death doula who helps people navigate anticipatory grief, loss and memorialization with a focus on stigmatized losses like behavioral euthanasia and rehoming.

Kate is an honors graduate from The Academy for Dog Trainers and is incredibly dedicated to continuing education, holding multiple behavior consultant credentials and over 250 continuing education credits.

She has helped over 2800 dogs overcome issues their guardians thought were impossible – fear of strangers, separation anxiety, resource guarding, growling at toddlers and more. With over 7,300 hours of hands-on training fearful dogs, she has the relevant experience to rescue those struggling with behavior issues and help guardians enjoy their dog again.

She is a long-time rescue advocate, former shelter trainer, and is vet and shelter/rescue recommended. Kate is a leading expert in animal behavior, behavior modification, companion pet welfare, enrichment and socialization and has been cited numerous times as an expert in media including The New York Times, AP News and The Washington Post.

Kate owns Rescued By Training and actively educates the public, writing a weekly post on behavior and grief topics with corresponding social media content, a weekly newsletter, and free downloads on her website. She has also been chronicling her own grief journey after losing her soul dog BooBoo in April 2024, to hopefully help others navigate theirs.
