Why Chantel Started CKC.
Chantel grew up in Canada with a dog she couldn't take anywhere.
Walks were stressful. Visitors made him explode. Public spaces were off-limits. Her family loved him — but they couldn't share him with the world. He spent most of his life behind a fence.
When Chantel moved to Southern Utah at 15, she knew two things: she wanted dogs in her life forever, and she never wanted to feel that limited again.
Years later, she started CKC Training to give other owners what her family didn't have — the freedom to take their dogs anywhere. To stores, restaurants, parks, hikes. To not apologize. To not avoid. To not brace.
Today, she's trained more than 300 dogs across Southern Utah. She still talks about that first dog every time someone asks why she does this.
