Chloe Carson, CPDT-KA
Chloe Carson is a certified professional dog trainer located in Kansas City, Missouri. Her goal is to build mutually beneficial relationships between dogs and their people by using positive reinforcement and mindful methods. Although advocating for reactive, out of control, and aggressive dogs is her very favorite, she enjoys teaching manners and cooperative care to dogs of all breeds and walks of life.
Chloe’s journey in dog training began in 2018 when her dog, Blue, received her Canine Good Citizen title. Since then, she has worked as a dog daycare attendant, at-home sitter, grooming assistant, and trainer. Her certifications include Dog & Cat First Aid by the Red Cross, S.A.F.E. by the AKC, Fear Free Animal Trainer, and CPDT-KA. In her free time, you can catch her reading about brain science or the human-animal bond.
As a trainer, Chloe knows the importance of learning in an environment that feels safe. Dogs and people learn best when we can creatively solve problems without fear of making a mistake and celebrate every breakthrough. These simple skills we learn in training can be our first choice when we’re put to the test in real life situations. In this least intrusive, minimally averse style of dog training, we are also watching for signs of fear, anxiety, and stress that may interfere with the learning process. By seeing from the dogs’ perspective, we are better able to interpret and influence the underlying emotions that drive the behavior of humans’ better half.
Chloe’s secret to successful training is diversified rewards. She loves German Shepherd dogs for their anxious attachment style. Her favorite type of dog training client is one who asks questions, so please feel free to reach out.
Sharon Ladd, KPA-CTP
Sharon is a KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy, Certified Training Partner) dog trainer, Dog Bite Prevention Educator, and Fear Free Certified pet professional based in Olathe, Kansas. She’s completed additional certifications in canine enrichment, trick training, and pet first aid and CPR.
Sharon has always been fascinated by animal behavior. She first taught herself clicker training techniques with her two cats, and she’s been training ever since. She loved the puzzle of training, and has always enjoyed working dogs, as well as other species. This spurred on her decision to attend Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training and Behavior and become a certified training partner.
As a trainer, Sharon loves the unique challenges of high-energy, working breed dogs living in pet homes. She is passionate about enrichment and finding creative solutions to meet your dog's needs. She also has a soft spot for working with shy and fearful dogs to build confidence.
Building a strong and trusting relationship between you and your dog is the foundation of great training. By using positive reinforcement, management tools, and creating a common language between you and your dog, Sharon hopes to set you for a lifetime of success.
Apart from her own training, Sharon owns a local dog walking and enrichment company. She also enjoys competing in dog sports with her own dog, Cherry. Sharon is a chairperson for the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), and a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
