K9-1-1 Dog Training

Welcome to K9-1-1 Dog Training

Chantal, your ABC certified instructor
with her faithful Bizou.

Thank you for visiting K9-1-1. As you can see from the picture to the right, I was born to help you have the best relationship possible with your dog. I have had the good fortune to have many years of experience with a wide variety of breeds with a even wider variety of problems. Helping dog owners and their dogs achieve harmony is what I do. I am an ABC certified dog trainer. ABC stands for Animal Behavior College,

Some Words of Caution

Did you know that as of now, there are no state or federal standards to become a dog trainer? There is a wide range of skills and knowledge within the dog training business.

Did you know that methods of training not based on rewards can in fact worsen aggression or fearful issues? Please, be sure you hire a trainer with years of experience and that the trainer has updated his or her training methods.

As an ABC certified dog trainer (honor graduate), I have gone through an extensive program that included both theory and hours of hands-on-training. There are trainers’ associations that offer certification as well such as IACP, APDT, and NADOI but none of them require anything close to the level of ABC.

In Closing

I hope as you read these pages they help you understand my methods and that you encouraged to contact me to discuss your needs. I am looking forward to designing a training program suited to your needs.
