ABOUT ME

Matt chan

KPA CTP, CAWA

​​

Sharing our lives with dogs is both incredibly rewarding, and at times, perhaps a little overwhelming. My role is to help bring understanding, calm, and confidence back into your relationship with your dog.

I’m a Certified Dog Trainer and behavior consultant with nearly two decades of experience in animal welfare and behavior work. My approach centers on supporting both the dog and the guardian. Rather than focusing on simply stopping behavior, I help people understand why it’s happening and how to respond in ways that are practical, humane, and effective in real life.

What clients most often will say stands out in my work is my patience — with their dog, and with them. I work without judgment, taking the time to listen, observe, and guide families step by step. My hope is that, both during our work together and beyond, families feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to their dog than they thought possible.

Our work is also very hands-on and educational. I help dogs learn within their own environment as well as environments we may bring them along to, while teaching guardians how to read behavior, make informed choices, and respond consistently so that progress continues beyond our sessions.

I work with a wide range of challenging behaviors, including complex behavior issues and aggression cases, using ethical, evidence-based methods that prioritize trust, welfare, and long-term success.

At the heart of my work is this belief: when people understand their dogs--and, when they feel supported in the process; both the dog and their family will succeed together, as one.
