Bonding with your dog

is good for them,

but it’s also good for you.

You transform together.

It’s all about the bonding.

You can spend thousands of dollars on conventional dog training and buy all the fancy equipment, but if you don’t have a healthy bond with your dog, then it probably won’t stick. I combine my dog training knowledge and experience with my coaching services to help you solve the issues going on in your home. But it starts in you. We will get into a mindset that supports a solid relationship with your dog first. Because improving the dynamic with a dog is as much about the story we’re telling ourselves and our beliefs and expectations, as it is about their behavior.

The magical thing about dogs is that no matter what the relationship looks like today, no matter how old your dog is, and regardless of where your dog came from, things can change. Dogs show us what is possible. Through systems, set ups, games, exercises, new habits and activities that I customize for you and your dog, their behavior will improve. Yours might too! Living up to potential is a mutual journey, a dance of collaboration.

Bonding with a dog is good for the animal and good for us. Along the way to achieving the behaviors we desire from a dog, we change our behaviors too, taking us right to the intersection between dog guardianship and personal growth.

This how-to-bond book, set against the backdrop of a true love story, explores what happens when we prioritize the relationship with our canines over the results we get from them. With a woven narrative that features various foster dogs as well as exercises to practice with your own dog, it positions dog adoption as both a selfish and a selfless act. Every dog has the capacity to help us be the best version of ourselves, day after day, and in bonding to improve the relationship with our pet, we end up strengthening the relationship we really want: the one with ourselves.

  • “Working with us and our senior Pittie, Katya did an incredible job of getting to know the whole family and assessing all the elements at play when it came to our relationships. She gave us meaningful actions to take that made a big difference in our day-to-day lives. Highly recommend working with her!”

    - Kristen & Spencer

  • “Katya's help made the difference in caring for our dog. We were going nuts with his anxiety, getting him used to crating, and getting him adjusted to a potty routine. She gave us the insights into the whys behind his behavior and how to change it. Things keep getting smoother with our pup and we're so grateful for her help getting here!”

    - Ben & Haruna

  • “Katya is an earth-angel for pups and people alike. We adopted a traumatized Pit-mix and Katya helped give us tools to bond with her, healing her and ourselves. Her passion for these animals is unmatched and her tips build structure, trust, and a deep, life-changing love.”
