Meet Chancel
I’m a certified positive reinforcement trainer with 18 years of experience in animal behavior, much of it focused on shelter and rescue dogs. My certifications include Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT), Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA-CTP), and Animal Behavior College Dog Trainer (ABCDT).
I use positive reinforcement to help dogs and their people navigate behavior challenges and life transitions in a supportive, approachable way. I’m especially passionate about working with shelter dogs and helping create strong, trusting relationships between dogs and their families.
Meet The Pets Who Inspired Her
Chancel has two rescued fur kids: Evie Roo, a handicapped Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua mix she adopted when she worked at SDHS. Reaper is her border collie rescued from Border Collies In Need. Reaper is more than just the mascot at Click Dog Training – he meets a lot of owners and dogs in their programs and often assists Chancel when needed for training sessions.
