I originally found Chelle through Yelp, and choosing to work with her has been one of the best decisions I've made for my dog, Mochi. I cannot say enough good things about Chelle and the work she's done with her. From day one, it was clear how deeply knowledgeable she is about dog behavior and how genuinely invested she is in each dog's success. Chelle doesn't just "train" -- she observes, adapts, explains the why, and meets both the dog and owner where they are. Her dedication is unmatched. She is consistently punctual, incredibly prepared, and always willing to go above and beyond -- whether that means staying a little longer to make sure things click, following up between sessions, or adjusting the plan as Mochi progressed. Thanks to Chelle, Mochi is transforming into a calm, well-mannered, confident dog. The difference is night and day, and the results speak for themselves. Beyond the skills Mochi learned, I also gained confidence as an owner because Chelle empowers you with knowledge, not just commands. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, puts in the work, and delivers real, lasting results -- Chelle is it. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants the absolute best for their dog. read more

Chelle is wonderful with the dogs. She's experienced, caring, knowledgeable, flexible with schedules. She's worked with 4 of my dogs with great results. I highly recommend her for dog training. read more

Chelle is an amazing trainer and person--you can really tell she cares a lot about her clients and the dogs/pups she trains. She is super flexible and works with your schedule. She tailors the training to each individual need of the puppy/dog and you can really see the results! She has lots of five stars reviews and there is a good reason for that. My 3 month old puppy Juno had separation anxiety and I saw results with crate training within just two sessions of leaving Juno with her! She also keeps you informed and updated on how to train at home. She goes above and beyond for her clients and is very responsive. I highly highly recommend her for any puppy/dog! read more

I just finished my six week training with Chelle for my corgi pup and wish I could give her 10 stars. I am so happy I chose for her in-home one on one puppy training rather than going to a class!!! My puppy needed a lot of training to overcome anxiety, listen to commands, and work on individual specific issues, which Chelle addressed in each session. Even when there were times when I wasn't sure of what I was doing, doing something wrong, or didn't get a chance to train, Chelle never made me feel bad. Instead, she always helped me figure out what was going on and work for a solution. She is very kind and so incredibly good at what she does. I highly recommend her. We worked on crate training, proper leash, control, while walking, potty training, proper behavior for inside, recall, laying down, 'leave it', off and so many other proper training issues that I wasn't even aware of. She is now crate trained, her potty training is going wonderfully, her behavior has improved dramatically, and when she escaped outside when someone was at the door, I was able to recall her with one command! read more

209 K9 Chelle - 8-month old Corgi - Pet Training Near Me

I first came across Chelle on Yelp and later on Facebook while searching for a local dog trainer. We have a 3‑year‑old Bernese Mountain Dog who has always been reactive to anyone outside our family. It makes everyday life tough, friends can't visit, walks in the neighborhood were stressful, and vacations felt impossible since we couldn't leave him with anyone.Working with Chelle has truly been life‑changing . In just a couple of months, our pup can now be crated comfortably in the house, backyard, and garage. We've introduced a barrel muzzle, walks are calmer without pulling, and he's learning to stay focused when people pass by. Each week brings steady progress, and it feels like such a relief .Chelle is patient, kind, and always uses positive reinforcement . She's our third trainer, but the progress we've made with her has been faster and more meaningful than anything before. I'm beyond grateful for her guidance and cannot recommend her enough!!! read more

Jax (my puppy) and I loved her. She really knows what she is talking about. The suggestions she makes and the training she does is all spot on. I highly recommend K9 Chelle!! read more

Chelle is an amazing dog trainer! She has plenty of 5 star reviews that show it and for some unfortunate reason Yelp hides a lot of her 5 star reviews! We did a 6 week puppy training with our English Bulldog puppy. Astro is my first dog ever so she taught me everything for his first stages of life. We worked on crate training, sit and potty training and so much more. Our dog is now about 6.5 months and he is getting into his rebellious teenage years and we contacted Chelle for help. Our dog stayed a few nights and days with her and he literally came back a new dog! No more barking and giving us attitude and his leash walking is amazing! We of course have to stay consistent with what Chelle did with our dog but she checks up on us through text and offers suggestions to keep doing the best for our dog. Chelle is responsive and goes above and beyond for her clients. We appreciate her so much! read more

209 K9 Chelle - Pet Training Near Me

Chelle has been absolutely crucial for our pup's training. I got my puppy from a breeder at 8 weeks old and started training right away by myself, but honestly, it was difficult and I realized quickly I couldn't do it alone. I originally planned on taking my puppy to classes after she was fully vaccinated, but decided I needed the help of a trainer sooner. Chelle did private at-home training sessions with my puppy and set her on a good path. I was so impressed with Chelle, I knew we didn't want to work with any other trainer. My puppy is a bit of a handful even for a puppy. She's incredibly energetic and hyper. Chelle has helped teach her through two board and trains and other sessions. She now knows basic commands, is crate and potty trained, and her leash skills have improved DRASTICALLY! We're well on our way to having a happy, healthy, and well-behaved dog all thanks to Chelle. Can not recommend her enough. We'll be calling her first if we ever need more training sessions in the future. read more

My dog has been training with her since he was about six months old and now he is a year. He has come such a long way since when we first started. He's becoming a nice well rounded dog who knows his commands and walks nicely on leash. He also loves it, he get so happy and excited as soon as we pull up and he sees her. read more

209 K9 Chelle - Pet Training Near Me

Since my initial review, we have had a handful of training sessions with Chelle and even did a refresher week of boarding for Budgie. Chelle has helped us to implement e-collar training with a slip lead - thanks to her guidance we have moved away from using a prong collar which has helped us manage our reactive dog. When we adopted Budgie from the shelter, we were told he would never be able to be around other dogs due to his reactivity. Fast forward 10 months and we received videos from Chelle with Budgie sitting in place next to other dogs, and taking walks with her dog Prodigy. Never thought we would see this!!!! While we still have a lot to learn and work on with our handling skills, we have seen incredible improvement and are hopeful that we will continue to see progress with the guidance of Chelle. Chelle has helped us to learn that building Budgies confidence and setting him up for success is entirely up to our handling and reading the real world situations around us. We cannot thank Chelle enough - an incredible dog trainer and friend! ----------------------- PREVIOUS REVIEW We were referred to Chelle by a family friend when we were searching for a board and train program for our fear-aggressive and anxious shelter pup Budgie. We'd met other trainers before but never got farther than the first meet - our dog does not trust easily and is hyper aware of peoples energy, so he does not get along with many strangers. After the first few minutes into meeting Chelle, we just KNEW she was the real deal. Instead of approaching our dog immediately, she took the time to observe our handling, how Budgie reacted around other dogs, how he behaved on walks, and how he would redirect when fearful. She offered instant feedback based on her observations, and it was clear that she was so incredibly knowledgeable about animals and already so in tune with Budgie. She confidently walked over and stood 3 feet away from Budgie (he does not EVER allow strangers this close without growling and acting up), and he sat quietly at her feet looking up at her -- her aura is pure confidence!! She agreed to take a chance on our little guy by welcoming him into her home for 21 days (ended up growing to 25 days because she was reaching a breakthrough and Budgie wanted a little more time). During this period, she sent videos and pictures that had us stunned. Budgie sitting 18" away from a big German Shepherd -- no lunging, no attacking, just a bit of whining -- Budgie smiling on a field trip to get him exposure to people/sounds/dogs -- Budgie listening attentively to commands for his reward, now sitting next to the German Shepherd!! We got texts asking if we were interested in weaning him off his prescription anxiety meds (100% the goal) and recommendations of food brands that would be best for his sensitive stomach... Chelle cares so much about these dogs!! She seeks to really understand them, their quirks and fears, what motivates them... so that she can help them learn to live life in control while keeping their unique personalities. And beyond this, she is an incredible resource for owners who are trying but need guidance from an expert, in order to continue the training when dogs return home. From the moment we picked Budgie up, we could not believe the improvement. He walks with confidence, with purpose, and really enjoys the experience. He no longer anxiously scans his surroundings for threats, and instead enjoys showing off his new favorite commands - come, heel, place, wait, and break. We already have another session in the books, though this time it is to help us become better handlers so that we are doing are part in helping Budgie succeed in the real world. Chelle is an absolute dream and we would recommend her to anyone. She goes above and beyond and is an incredible person and trainer!!! We are so so grateful to have found her. read more

209 K9 Chelle - Chelle and Budgie after 1-1 training session - Pet Training Near Me

Ill start by saying Chelle has trained a dog within my family before. I was soo impressed with how well that dog did that i knew i was going to bring my new pup to her for training. I got my dog a little older older than i wanted and he needed alot of work to get him where my family wants/needs him to be a successful family dog. After completing private lessons he has learned soo much and i feel like i have bonded with my dog even more. We also have plans to send him to board and train with Chelle to further his training and abilities! I recommend definitely to all to reach out to Chelle for training! She has been extremely flexible with meet up times to fit around my work schedule and days off. Thank you again for helping Kaido! read more

K9 Chelle was referred to us by a friend who used her services. My husband did a lot of the communication back/forth with Chelle via text/email and she answered all our questions prior to her taking our puppy. I didn't meet Chelle until she dropped our puppy off after 17 days of having him. She was very nice and answered our questions on what to do after she left. She reached out a few days to check in, which i definitely appreciated. Three months later we used her services again for a refresher training and boarding. Oh! And she posted about my dogs training on her social media so I was able to see how training was going. read more

I met chelle through my uncle and she answered my prayers! After out first session I seen so much improvement! Luka and I are now able to have a better relationship rather than me fearing my dog.

If your looking for a trainer well you definitely found a good one. Chelle had took my pup for 2 weeks and he was definitely a different dog when we got him back. She is very passionate about training and you can tell in her training. You won't be disappointed read more

In Jan 2023 I rescued a dog from a neglectful home. He never socialized with other dogs and he was wild and didn't listen. I already had a dog so I was struggling with taking care of both of them because they couldn't be around each other. I didn't know what to do. I was so stressed and my rescue dog made me feel hopeless. I found Chelle and I'm so thankful I came across her instagram. I feel way better with the training shes given us. We did private lessons at my home and I can already see an improvement with both my dogs. We still have to keep practicing and be consistent. Chelle has taught me the tools I need to train my dog. And she gave me some education on why dogs behave the way they do. She's very knowledgable. She's definitely a miracle worker. My rescue dog listens to me way more then he ever has and my other dog is now excited to train and listen and work for his food. If you are feeling hopeless and need a miracle, you for sure need to message her. I'm forever thankful for all her help! And I hope to continue more training with her in the future. :) read more
