Chato Personal Dog Training
About
I have owned, care for and raised dogs all my life. As a professional trainer I have been training dogs for at least 17 years. I have trained dogs here in Illinois, Indiana, Georgia and Tennessee. Through my company Chato Personal Dog Training, we train dogs with kindness and compassion using "Positive Reinforcement" which means Award based non-discipline or punishment, but with correction, yes. I strongly believe that my job as a Professional dog Trainer is not simply to train dogs, but to also be an educator to the dog's family.
I enjoy working with all kinds of animals. I have raised and cared for dogs since I was a child. I believe as a professional dog trainer that I am not only training the dog but educating the owners as well. All dogs need to acquire at least Basic Obedience Training to be controllable, safe and happy with their "Forever Family!" I strive to provide the most complete, kind and professional training I can for each dog and their families. I work to make the training a "Fun" thing for the family, not a task or a job. A satisfied customer to me is a happy and safe family with their dog.
