Behavior & Training for Dogs and Cats
In-person and online pet consulting & training in Bellingham, WA, & online nationwide.
I'm Kathy Jo Ventrano, founder of Tailored Courage and certified dog behavior consultant. I specialize in addressing challenging behaviors with personalized, compassionate care.
I create effective behavior plans that thrive in real life, not just on perfect days. My expertise lies in designing strategies that work for everyone in your household, people and pets. I develop plans to navigate good, bad, and hectic days, understanding that life can be unpredictable.
My commitment is to sustainable solutions; if a plan isn't maintainable, I don't consider it successful. I focus on creating lasting change that ensures long-term success for your whole family with minimal stress for you and your pet.
"You want to enjoy the life you have with your dog; I can help you get there. "
