Master Trainer Program

Mastery in any trade is defined by varying levels of experience, skill, and expertise. While some achieve prominence through a strict dedication to scientific principles and established protocols, others excel as gifted artisans guided by natural talent and intuition. The Master Trainer program at A Sound Beginning Chicago exclusively employs individuals who embody both of these disciplines, serving as premier representatives of both the science and the art of animal training and behavioral consultation.

Our Master Trainers are our most seasoned and experienced trainers, widely recognized, and holding multiple credentials across multiple training disciplines, often across multiple species. All of our Master Trainers have at least 7 years of professional training experience, working successfully with complex and extreme case studies. In addition to behavior consulting, our Master Trainers have spent considerable time training a variety of different breeds and species for real-world work and service, often with significant responsibility, including but not limited to: major financial backing/dependency, legislative-producing efforts, and life-saving/altering consequences.
