About the Owner

Chris Maguire, CCDT

Growing up, we always had one and/or multiple dogs in the house at a time, but my professional training journey truly began in 2021 when I started volunteering at my local animal shelter. There, I discovered my passion for working closely with and caring for shelter dogs. Beyond providing basic care and companionship, I began observing canine body language, recognizing stress signals, and understanding how various environmental factors impact dog behavior. The experience was both fulfilling and educationally enriching, but to truly become an expert and make a meaningful difference, I knew I needed to pursue formal education.

Committed to deepening my expertise, I earned my official Dog Training Certification (C.C.D.T.) through the CATCH Academy of New Jersey. Since launching my private training practice, I’ve dedicated myself to transforming the lives of both dogs and their families through innovative methods and lasting, effective solutions.

Certification

I completed my formal dog training certification through CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, where I developed comprehensive skills in both foundational and advanced training techniques, as well as specialized behavior modification strategies. 

The curriculum included personalized mentorship opportunities, allowing me to shadow experienced trainers and participate in hands-on training sessions with detailed feedback and guidance.
