Chantelle began her dog training career after she graduated from Animal Behaviour College and became a certified dog trainer. She takes pride in her continuous efforts to stay current in training methods, theory and education. As a certified elite member of Fear Free Pets, Chantelle's goal is education driven by positive reinforcement and guided by following the least intrusive, minimally aversive approach (LIMA). She strongly believes that the best learning and development comes easier with a happy and healthy pup. It is Chantelle's goal to teach dogs and people how to fluently communicate and how to problem solve issues as well as transfer skills.
Chantelle grew up surrounded by dogs and also spent her time working alongside horses. To begin her career she worked as a vet tech while moving around.

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog.

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
