Meet the Trainer

Hi, I’m Chelene, owner of I Heart Canine PR. As a certified positive reinforcement trainer with an animal welfare certificate, I specialize in more than basic commands. I help Guardians understand their dogs’ body language and address challenges like anxiety, consent, and reactivity.

My mission is to bridge the gap between human emotions and canine instincts using science-backed positive reinforcement. Let’s build a stronger bond and set your dog up for success—together!

Meet Specter: The Newest Team Member

We're thrilled to introduce Specter, the newest and fluffiest member of our training team! Born in July and officially joining us on September 15th, Specter is currently serving as our dedicated Demo Cat. He is quickly mastering core behaviors and training foundations, and is a fantastic example of how effective positive reinforcement can be—demonstrating that this force-free approach is just as powerful for felines as it is for canines. Specter is also helping to illustrate successful inter-species dynamics, working alongside his canine brother and sister to show how dogs and cats can interact and coexist harmoniously. While he is currently only available for online training demonstrations and featured in training videos, his charming presence and excellent progress are proving invaluable to our students.
