About Kathy:
Certified as a dog trainer (CPDT-KA) and a family dog mediator (FDM), Kathy Callahan specializes in puppies. She and her family have fostered more than 200 of them in the past decade, and her business, PupStart, is focused on puppyhood coaching.
Kathy’s the author of two books: the forthcoming Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog (April 2024) and 101 Rescue Puppies: One Family’s Story of Fostering Dogs, Love, and Trust (2020). In addition, she writes monthly on training and behavior for the industry-leading publication Whole Dog Journal.
She recently released her latest book:
Old Dog, New Dog: A Guide to Supporting Your Aging Best Friend and Welcoming a New One.
A collaborative guide with respected trainer and behavior consultant, Helen St. Pierre!
Kathy lives in Alexandria, VA with her husband Tom. They’re technically in the empty-nest phase of parenting, but the house is still active and joyful thanks to the furry foster-fails: Mojo the German Shepherd mix, George the Great Pyrenees mix, Kreacher the Chow mix, and Mr. Bojangles, the tuxedo cat.
