Chas.

Hello! I am a certified Family Dog Mediator and Pet Dog Trainer, two things I never imagined I would be. Life sent me a difficult dog or two and I found myself traveling down wild and wondrous paths, figuratively and literally.

Mostly, I’m a Dog Nerd. I am continuously learning new things about these extraordinary and complex creatures who have walked beside us for at least the last 15,000 years. And I want to help you know your best friend better.

Modern dogs face real challenges and we need to get creative, and be fair, in how we approach bridging the gap between our needs and theirs. This bridge is built with new skills, insights, and better understanding of our dogs and what they need from us. You and your dog deserve a story worth reveling in. It would be my honor to help you write it.

The Revel Dogs

Argos is a literal good citizen. The best boy. Will do tricks for treats as long as nothing more interesting is happening.

A black and white dog standing near a field of dry grass with leafless trees in the background.

Aster has big feelings. She will share them. Her hobbies are stick chewing, alarm barking, and long naps.

A black and white dog stands on a wooden walkway in a forest with fallen autumn leaves around.

Milo has never met a stranger that he liked. Always adventure ready. Is chasing Parkour titles.
