ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Louella Beiler
Dog Trainer & Death Doula
I've spent years watching dogs navigate the world — with joy, with curiosity, with trust placed fully in the humans beside them. I take that trust seriously.
My approach to training is gentle and intuitive, working with you and your dog's natural rhythms rather than against them. I use positive reinforcement techniques, focusing on the behavior you want to see rather than punishing what you don't like.
My approach to end-of-life support is the same: quiet, present, and deeply human. This is an incredibly hard path; you shouldn't have to walk it alone.
Catori taught me that the bond between a person and their dog is one of life's most honest relationships. Catori's Path is my way of honoring that — and offering the support I wish I'd had.

THE PATH DOESN’T END —
IT CONTINUES IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION
Before losing Catori in September 2025, I found myself sketching — mountains, trees, two figures on a trail, birds lifting into open sky. The words that came were "Forever in my heart."
That drawing became an outlet for grief I didn't yet have words for. In some small way it became the seed of this business: a reminder that love doesn't expire when a life does, and that every dog deserves to be honored — from their first year through their last days.
