🐾 🌟 YOUR REPLAY HUB 💚 ✨
Watch the Workshop Replay for Free until October 8th!
The replay comes down on October 8th, but it’s not gone forever, it’s just moving to its new home inside the Brilliant Partners Academy member hub. BPA is my signature program and community for women ready to grow a life of cooperation, trust, and connection with their dogs. The last difficult moment with your dog doesn’t have to decide what happens next.
In this workshop, Kathy will guide you to understand how reactive, distressed, or difficult behavior unfolds through what is happening inside you and your dog, outside in the environment, and in-between you—and to begin a new pathway toward connection, trust, and natural cooperation with your dog.
Watch the Replay:
Key Timestamps in the Replay:
- 11:45 — Begin with the end in mind and discover your whole-life Partnership North Star
- 41:36 — Phoenix’s story and why behavior is only the visible edge
- 52:45 — What is happening inside, outside, and in-between
- 1:57:52 — Create your own Partnership Pathway Map
- 3:30:52 — How one new beginning can influence your whole shared life
⏰ Short on time? I’ve also added a new Companion Guide that walks you through the Partnership Pathway and the five questions you need to begin your map, with your workbook beside you. The guide provides the Replay Timestamps for key segments, and directs you to the companion journal page in the workbook.

You're Here For A Reason...
Maybe your dog is anxious or reactive. Maybe things look okay on the outside, but something feels off. Maybe you’ve done the training, the socializing, the setups -- and you’re still not getting what you hoped for.
Or, maybe you want to get started right and avoid all of that in the first place.
Somewhere inside, you already know: this isn’t just about behavior.
It’s about relationship.
Brilliant Partners Academy offers a complete lifestyle shift, grounded in neuroscience, social intelligence, and real-life experience, to help you build a relationship that works for both of you.
Welcome to a whole new way of living and growing with your dog.
“Beyond anything I ever imagined!”
"I am no longer an anxious ball of nerves on walks. The progress we have made is beyond anything I had ever imagined possible.
We no longer chase wildlife, joggers or cyclists and we can walk where other dogs are and remain relaxed and connected with each other -- on leash and off!"
~Ros with Phoebe, Myrtle and Ekko
“I never dreamed this was possible!”
"After adopting Bella who was reactive to EVERYTHING, I never dreamed I would be hiking with BOTH of my dogs, enjoying nature without constantly scanning, and I love having the tools I learned in BPA to keep my little pack safe, calm and happy!"
~Terri and Bella
Kathy Kawalec
A Personal Invitation
I’ve taught thousands of brilliant, devoted dog moms how to create a life of freedom and trust with their dogs — without obedience, micromanaging, or training to “fix” what isn’t broken.
Brilliant Partners Academy is the program I built from my own experience with reactive dogs, competition dogs, rescue dogs, and students who had tried everything else.
It’s not a quick fix. But it IS effective, sustainable, and lasting. And it simply becomes part of how you share life with your dogs — no setups or training sessions needed.
It’s a simple, yet oh-so-powerful way of relating — with a support system to help you make it real, one step at a time.
I would love to welcome you in and walk this transformational path with you.
Much love,
Kathy xo

“I'm so proud of my 3 fur kids, and forever grateful for Kathy and her program.”
“I thought: I’ve tried everything, training classes, behavior sessions, reactive dog classes, I have nothing to lose. 10 months later, we all enjoying our Brilliant Partners lifestyle and I’m so proud of my 3 fur kids!”
~Bettina, with Murphy, Mary and Bear
“Kicked out of obedience class … to brilliant partners!”
"After being kicked out of obedience class, I found Kathy Kawalec. Instead of focusing on obedience and training, we breathed a sigh of relief and began focusing on appreciating each other and observing and listening to each other. Life since is a daily delight with my girl!”
~Jane and Sky

I'm really busy...I'm not sure I have time for this.
One of my philosophies in life is to make choices on how to spend my valuable resources like time and money, and choose where my dreams can be nurtured, and I can live the life I envision. I hope you do the same.
Yes, You will need to devote time to watch the video lessons, and catch the coaching calls live or on replay...
Remember: a partnership lifestyle is just that - no need for special training sessions, setups and all that. I want to spend my precious time enjoying my life ... not struggling with unnecessary training ... and I want that for your too. And you have 24/7 access to the entire program for as long as you're a member, so you set the schedule that works for you!
What if I can't attend the coaching calls Live, because of my schedule?
Replays!! Many of our BeePees catch the replays - it's so convenient ... and you get to choose what time is best for you.
What if I am not on Facebook? Will I be able to use the program?
Yes. All of our courses, replays, masterclasses, workbooks etc are organized for easy access inside of our members HUB...a special website just for my members to enjoy! That said, there are easy ways for you to join our community discussions which are AWESOME without getting sucked into endless social scrolling. There are apps to help you with that, so that you only go directly into the BPA page. It's worth it, really!! But it's also ok if you don't. xo
