Welcome!

Hello!

I am Beth Grabowski, an animal trainer based in Seattle, Washington. I am a recent Anthrozoology and Biology graduate of Carroll College in Helena Montana where I learned my passion for working with and communicating with any and all animals through training. My training is based in learning theory and utilizes fear-free methods to build a strong communicative relationship between you and your animal companion.

My Story

I am originally from the countryside of Iowa where we had a colony of cats as I grew up, which only increase my interest and fascination with the animals we share this planet with. That interest lead me to the Anthrozoology program at Carroll College where I trained with a shelter dog and achieved the American Kennel Club Intermediate Trick Title in the six months I had with him before he found his forever home. During that same time I also puppy raised a PTSD service dog who is now placed with a veteran and helping them live a better life. And as my Senior project, I kitten raised and trained my own personal cat and training partner, Professor. I have also focused my Biology degree to help me understand the different ways that animals experience and interact with the world that they live in.

The Purrfessor

Professor is my demo cat and training partner. She has taught me so much ever since she arrived as a tiny kitten who could fit in the palm of my hand and continues to do so everyday. She is an intermediate level trick cat and is here to demonstrate training to my clients and to show that yes, you can train your cat and any other spieces for that matter! Check out her Instagram for some of her tricks and adventures @the_purrfessor_is_in!

Our Philosophy

I love working with and learning about the different relationships that humans have with their animal companions. And I am fascinated by the way that humans and animals find a way to communicate despite different language systems. For me, training is a way to establish communication between the human and non-human animal. It can be used to solve problems or improve relationships between people and non-human animals that share the sane space and or resources. The process is specific to each relationship. And the best time to start communicating is always now.

 
 

To know what your cat sees, take a peek through their eyes. To know what they hear, listen with their ears.
