Welcome to Granite State K9 Training

My name is Chantal, and I am a certified dog trainer specializing in basic obedience and family companion dog training throughout Southern New Hampshire.

After spending five years working in social work and earning a degree in Psychology, I discovered a passion for canine training while working with my own dog, Remi. Inspired by the profound impact that training can have on the relationship between dogs and their owners, I made the decision in 2021 to pursue a career dedicated to helping families build stronger bonds with their canine companions.

In 2022, I became a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College while also gaining hands-on experience by shadowing respected trainers throughout New Hampshire. This combination of formal education and real-world mentorship allowed me to refine my training philosophy and develop an approach that is both effective and accessible for dog owners.

My training programs are rooted in LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles and positive reinforcement methods. I believe that successful training is built on clear communication, consistency, and trust. My goal is to help dogs and their handlers develop a strong, healthy relationship while achieving meaningful and lasting training results.

At Granite State K9 Training, I am committed to helping dog owners reach their training goals in a safe, effective, and rewarding way. Whether you are welcoming a new puppy, building foundational obedience skills, or addressing everyday behavioral challenges, my focus is on providing practical guidance and support that creates lifelong success for both you and your dog.
