Raising industry standards

Who do you trust with your dog?

Did you know that dog training is a completely unregulated industry? While countless trades from cosmetology to hairstyling require certifications, anyone can legally call themselves a dog trainer in the United States. Countless dogs are abused and behaviorally damaged by unqualified trainers who take shortcuts and use force, fear, and intimidation. That’s why I am committed to aligning with the standards of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, am a Fear Free Certified Pet Professional, and am dedicated to pursuing further education and credientials. I aim to have my CPDT-KA certification by late 2024.

Oh my gosh! Thank you! You are a natural dog trainer but ALSO with explaining it to "humans". Really! You completely made sense and made everything so easy to understand! We have already practiced [polite leash greetings] with her and are so impressed at how quickly she gets it! We couldn't figure out what to do, and you taught us, and it WORKS. THANK YOU!

Chelsea is such a talented dog trainer and professional. We had originally hired her to walk our 3 year old Australian Shepherd, but she went above and beyond by building customized enrichment activities for our dog. She taught her so many new things that we never would have thought of on our own and still use with our dog to this day. Our dog is smart and needs intellectual stimulation as well as physical, and Chelsea's activities and games always ensured that our dog was tired and happy at the end of the day. We were continuously impressed with the skills Chelsea was able to teach her. Chelsea is so good with dogs, we highly recommend hiring her to work with your pets.

One of the significant hurdles we faced with Oliver was his reactivity to other dogs and certain situations, which was (naturally!) a concern for me. Chelsea's expertise in dealing with reactivity issues was evident from the start. She employed a variety of techniques to help Oliver remain calm and focused, even in potentially triggering environments. Her use of positive reinforcement and gradual exposure was particularly effective, and we saw a noticeable improvement in Oliver’s behavior over time. What stood out most about Chelsea's approach was her ability to communicate effectively not just with Oliver, but with me as well. She equipped me with the tools and knowledge to continue Oliver's training at home, fostering a consistent learning environment. This empowerment was especially helpful, as it allowed me to confidently address Oliver's reactivity issues outside of our sessions with Chelsea. Under Chelsea's guidance, Oliver has blossomed. He’s become more sociable, confident, and less reactive, even in new or challenging situations. Chelsea’s emphasis on positive reinforcement has made learning enjoyable for Oliver!
