"I puppy trained my Ridgeback with CK9, then later had Chantal come to mine for a 1:1—completely changed our lives! Her insight & training tips have made my very large dog a joy to be around. I can’t recommend CK9 more highly! They are passionate & skilled about what they do & have certainly broadened my mind in terms of the how/why aspect of dog behaviour, & what I need to do to have a happy, well behaved fur baby 👍🏻 "
"As a trainer myself, I have always had enquiries about behaviourists to be recommended. Many have crossed my path and my answer has always been Mmmm...
this is until my path crossed with Chantal. She is THE person to have on your speed daily as a dog owner or a trainer who wants to refer their clients to THE BEST! There is simply no better to be found than her!"

Hi, I’m Chantal, the founder of CK9 Training. With years of experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, I’m passionate about helping owners build strong, positive relationships with their dogs.
Having shared my life with high-energy dogs and faced my fair share of behavioural challenges, I truly understand what it feels like to be in your shoes.
At CK9 Training, kindness, empathy, and personalised support are at the heart of everything we do. I’m proud to lead a team of dedicated trainers and behaviourists who share my commitment to helping dogs and their owners thrive. Whether it’s through our tailored behaviour programmes, fun agility classes, or online separation anxiety training, my goal is to make training manageable, effective, and enjoyable.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me enjoying time outdoors with my own dogs; they’ve taught me just as much as any formal training ever could! I can’t wait to meet you and your dog and start working together to achieve your goals.
