PackMate Coaching Family Dog Mediator - Albuquerque, NM

Verified Member since Mar 2026 Verified checkmark

My name is CJ, I graduated college with a focus on Human Services and Psychology. I decided that I wanted to implement my fascination with behavior and learn Dog Behavior as well. I started out as a pet sitter and then went to a professional dog training school and got my Certified Dog Trainer credentials along with my Trick Dog Instructor credentials and Family Dog Mediation credentials. I am now currently working on Canine Nutrition certifications. I am also a Certified PetSitter and have passed animal first aid.

I have worked with people and kids with disabilities and also understand PTSD and people with Brain Injuries.

I have been extremely lucky to have built a reliable clientele that has supported my business for the last 3 years. I will continue to further my expertise and education because I never want to stop learning and I learn from each experience and client that I meet.

While many pet parents start their search looking for "someone near me" in New Mexico, the beauty of a virtual behavioral consultation is that your pet stays in their natural environment—the exact place where anxiety, aggression, or territorial issues usually occur. Working with Celeste Kovach means you get elite-level expertise without the stress of travel or geographic limits.

Frequently Asked Questions


Do I need to be located in Albuquerque to work with Celeste?
No! Because sessions are conducted entirely online, you can book Celeste Kovach from anywhere in New Mexico or across the country.


Are virtual sessions as effective as in-person visits?
In many cases, they are more effective. Pets are frequently on their "best behavior" (or shut down) in a clinic or when a stranger enters their home. A virtual session allows Celeste to observe your pet’s true behavior via camera in a stress-free setting.


What equipment do I need?
Just a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and a stable internet connection.


Behind every reactive or anxious pet is an animal that deserves to feel safe—and an owner who deserves to feel hopeful again. Don't wait for the behavior to escalate. Start a conversation with Celeste Kovach today and take the first step toward a more peaceful home in Albuquerque.
