Kathy Sdao, M.A.

Kathy is an applied animal behaviorist based in Tacoma Washington.

Please note: The contact form on this site has been misbehaving recently. If you don't receive my response within two days, please email me directly at kathy@kathysdao.com. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Wow -- best testimonial ever! Jean Donaldson, a pioneering dog-training genius & decades-long role model for me, just chose me as one of her heroes! Read her generous comments here.

New! Kathy recorded an audio/videobook version of Plenty in Life is Free: Reflections on Dogs, Training and Finding Grace.

Also new, here's a podcast episode on Pod To The Rescue in which I discuss SMART x 50 and other good stuff with hosts Libby & Emily.

Lots of free recordings & a membership opportunity

Want to be a LIMA being? Want to know what the heck a LIMA being is? Please check out my newest project, a COVID19-inspired step out of my comfort zone. I warmly invite you to join our growing community of supportive colleagues.

In May 2023, I recorded a podcast episode — Listen Then Train — with Marissa Martino, host of Paws & Reward.

My June 2021 interview with Melissa Breau for the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy podcast. We discussed LIMA beings, cue tips, and post-pandemic socialization strategies.

In March 2021, I joined Michael Shikashio for an episode of his popular podcast, The Bitey End of the Leash.

My fun chat about Nonviolent Communication with Marissa Martino for her Paws & Reward podcast (September 2020).

Here’s my July 2020 appearance on Ken Ramirez’s “Live From the Ranch.” Watch me walk the shoreline of Commencement Bay in Tacoma WA while I train & manage my sometimes-reactive dog Smudge. There were plenty of surprises for us both!

My favorite project in ages — two spontaneous authentic conversations with beloved colleagues as a response to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We warmly invite you to watch the free recordings: Part 1 & Part 2

My May 2019 conversation with Ryan Cartlidge for his Animal Training Academy podcast.

My discussion with Colleen Pelar about worthiness on her Unleashed podcast .

My interview with Hannah Branigan (“Drinking From the Toilet”) on stimulus control & cues.
