About Me
Hi there! I'm Chantel, your friendly neighbour and an avid dog enthusiast. Growing up surrounded by animals, particularly German Shepherds and Rottweilers, instilled in me a deep love and appreciation for our furry companions. Welcoming Penny, our adorable red Labrador in 2017 into our family was a moment of sheer joy. With a background in Interior Design, I initially pursued a corporate career path. However, the arrival of my son made me reevaluate my priorities, leading me to discover my true passion: working with dogs. Training Penny and embarking on exciting adventures together opened my eyes to the fulfilling prospect of making it my full-time endeavour.
Nowadays, you'll often find me outdoors, exploring our wonderful neighbourhood alongside a pack of happy pups.
​
In my approach to training, I firmly believe in positive reinforcement and force-free methods, always treating our furry friends with the utmost respect as their pack leader. To further hone my skills, I completed a dog walker mentorship program with EduCanine and hold accredited pet aid and CPR certification and hold Professional insurance and city permits.
​
Penny and I are thrilled at the prospect of meeting you and your four-legged companion, ready to embark on new adventures and ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Let's make tails wag and create unforgettable memories together!
Pack Dynamic
At Lucky Penny Pet Care, you can count on having the same qualified and dedicated walker every day – that's me!
​
I take great care in selecting dogs to join our pack, ensuring that their play styles and personalities complement each other. Getting to know each dog's unique quirks and preferences is a joy for me, as it ensures that every furry friend is happy and fully engaged during our outings.
​
Safety is my top priority when leading a pack of dogs. Before welcoming a new member, I conduct thorough assessments to ensure they'll integrate well with our pack dynamics. Equipped with a pet first aid kit and certified in pet first aid and CPR, I'm prepared for any situation. Additionally, I'm fully insured and hold a dog walking permit from the city of Toronto, allowing me to responsibly walk up to six dogs at a time.
​
During our walks, I focus on reinforcing positive behaviours and using force-free training methods to keep our furry companions engaged and responsive. I've invested time in studying dog body language to ensure I'm always attuned to their needs and signals.
​
If your dog craves more enrichment and adventures, don't hesitate to reach out for a free meet and greet. Let's ensure your beloved companion has the time of their life exploring with our pack!
