Meet the face behind Empathy Over Ego 🐾

Hi, I'm Katie, the dog trainer (or translator) behind Empathy Over Ego. I like to let my name and logo do the talking, but today, I'm here to put a face to the mission.

Choosing to work with dogs through Empathy Over Ego means embracing force-free training and giving animals the choice they deserve. It’s about putting the needs of these sentient beings at the forefront. Think about it—our dogs live in what we can call beautiful prisons. They don’t get to choose where they live, who they live with, or how their day goes.

Now, imagine being at a party where no one speaks your language. You’re bursting with energy, but you can’t communicate or figure out how to release it. That’s a humanized story of the stress and pressure our dogs feel daily.

I’m here to be their voice and to challenge the excuses humans make for not meeting their dog’s needs. Living with, loving and training a dog isn’t just about companionship; it’s about responsibility. It’s your job to fulfill their needs every single day—rain or shine, good mood or bad.

Let’s prioritize empathy over ego and give our dogs the understanding and care they deserve. 💙
With love and light ✨️ KP ✌️💓🐕

Waived adoption fee!!!

Daisy Mae is one of the dogs who has been at our shelter for far too long. Her adoption fee is now waived, yet she’s still waiting for a home to call her own. Daisy Mae is a bit cautious at first, but once she bonds with someone, she’s affectionate and loving.

She would thrive in a quiet home without other dogs, cats, or children. Daisy Mae is housebroken, knows some commands, enjoys car rides, and walks well on a leash. She’s eager to find a family who will give her the love she deserves. If you're looking for a loyal companion, please come meet Daisy Mae — she’s ready to break free and start her new life.✨❤️‍🩹

Caesar is a two-year-old Shepherd who has been patiently waiting for his forever home. As a long-term resident, his adoption fee has been waived in the hope that someone special will give him a chance. Caesar can be a bit slow to open up to new people, but once he forms a bond, he is a deeply loyal and loving companion. While he doesn’t do well with other animals or children, he is neutered, microchipped, housebroken, and food-motivated. He loves car rides and spending time outdoors, and with a little patience, he’ll become an incredibly devoted friend. 💕
