ChadTRAINER
I have loved dogs my entire life. My family had a yellow lab when I was growing up and have had two rescues of my own. My experience started in August of 2018 as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona and as a canine coach for Dogtopia a year later. I loved working with dogs so much during this time that I decided to devote my life to training dogs.
Due to a tough decision I had to make with my first rescue Charlie surrounding aggressive behavior, I wanted to focus on behavior modification in dogs, to which I have gained valuable knowledge of working under the canine behavior team at the Humane Society. I hope to be certified in one year.
Currently, I enjoy my time with my second rescue Spike who is a ball of energy and honing my knowledge with dog training through books and hands on experience. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies!
