My name is Kim Diloreto
I specialize in rehabilitating fearful dogs.
I've adopted and trained dogs for the last 25 years.
I became a certified canine behavior consultant in 2015. I train dogs before and after they
find forever homes.
As a member of the ASPCA's
behavioral sciences team I have
extensive training and experience
rehabilitating fearful dogs
rescued from abuse and neglect.
As a first responder I care for dogs rescued from
disasters, hoarding and fighting.

Get help for...
Dogs that can't be touched, petted, held, bathed, brushed, leashed, or walked...
Dogs that fear the outdoors, stairs, food bowls, slippery floors, doorways, crates...
Dogs that run from televisions, toys, loud noises, soft noises, children, men...
Dogs that worry about everyone and everything.
Kim is a delight and a blessing! ...Good strategies to implement and support for the ones I'm already using. And her sense of humor helps, too!
April (and Sebastion)
Kim is very patient and knowledgeable. She is easy to understand and confide in.

Kim reviewed our situation with such empathy and compassion. I am SO glad I found someone as special as her.
Joanna (and Cagney)
Kim is respectful and gentle with our dogs. She gives great instructions to our staff on behavioral training tips. Above all she has a great love for animals.

Thank you for being kind, patient and brave enough to help a fearful dog.
I work one-on-one with people and their dogs. I specialize in helping fearful dogs who need to build confidence. These dogs may fear new things, people, other dogs, crates, car rides, being left alone, walking on a leash, going up/down stairs, etc.
I work remotely by exchanging emails and/or phone calls. I may ask for a short video of your dog performing a certain behavior (example: playing with another dog). If you can’t provide video we’ll work around it. I reply to emails/calls as promptly as possible. There is no limit to the number of emails/calls we exchange.
I charge $20 a week or $75 a month (Venmo, PayPal or check) payable at the beginning of the week/month.
Use this form to reach out if this seems like a good fit for you and your dog...
