Alexa Chester
CERTIFED PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER
Inspired by my beautiful hero dog, Stormy, who came into my life shortly after losing my father/best friend, I made it my mission to coach and create confident, capable companions and service dogs like her. After graduating from the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy Master Program in 2021, I discovered a deep passion for learning and growth in canine behavior. I continue to expand my education through advanced courses and ongoing professional development. Currently, I am a Fear-Free Certified Professional, ABC Service Dog Trainer, and an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator, and I always have a new course in progress!
I started working at CJ’s Canine Country Club in 2020, and the experience I’ve gained working with dogs in the daycare setting has not only boosted my skills in dog training, but also sparked a love for helping less-than-confident dogs shine.
My approach emphasizes kindness, clarity, and positive reinforcement, recognizing that every dog is an individual and learning is not one-size-fits-all.
