Beth Ostrowski-Parks, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KASince I began training dogs in 1994, I have helped over ten thousand dogs and their families grow the special bond they share with their best friend. In addition to over 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities, I am also a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA), a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer in the State of Connecticut. I am a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) (since 1994), and the Pet Professional Guild (PPG), which is dedicated to force-free training.
I am a passionate rescue advocate. I enjoy helping owners train dogs who were adopted from shelters or from homes where they were abused or neglected. I feel I have a unique understanding of the challenges these owners face.

As a passionate rescue advocate, I especially enjoy helping owners train dogs who were adopted from shelters or from homes where they were abused or neglected. I have a unique understanding of the challenges these owners face. In fact, at one point, I even operated my own Greyhound rescue for several years.
I am a firm believer that dog training should be fun! In fact, I’m a self-described “agility addict”. I have been teaching and competing in the sport for almost 3 decades. My own dogs have earned numerous agility championships through the years. As an instructor, I love helping others learn how they can have fun and build better relationships with their dogs through opportunities like agility and other dog-related activities.
Since opening It’s PAWSible!® in 1996, my goal has been to enrich the lives of dogs and their humans. For me, there’s nothing better than the “lightbulb” moment when an owner and dog connect and communicate in a deeper way than they ever have before. Some clients – especially those with what they consider a “problem” dog – have even called this moment a miracle.
At It’s PAWSible!®, anything really is possible.
