Meet the Trainers
Chantel Clark
Owner & Lead Trainer
Hi, I’m Chantel Clark, owner and lead professional trainer at CKC Training. I originally grew up in Canada and moved to Southern Utah when I was 15. Growing up, we had a little white family dog that I wanted to bring everywhere with me, but the answer was always no. He would bark at people, pull on walks, and was generally uncontrollable. That’s where my love for dog training began.
I know firsthand how challenging it can be to have a dog you can’t take with you, and I want to give dog owners the freedom I wish I had when I was younger: the ability to bring your dog anywhere, stress-free.
Dani Russell
Trainer
My name is Dani, I am so excited to be a trainer for CKC Training! I’ve been a professional trainer since December 2024. I’m a currently a student at SUU, getting my degree in Aviation. I am 20 years old & getting married this summer in Greece!
I first met Chantel about two years ago when I enrolled my dog, Fern, in her program here in Southern Utah. Fern is a newfypoo & is 3 years old. Before training Fern was fear reactive— barking, lunging, and extremely anxious in public. Fern has completely transformed and is now proudly working as a demo dog! Training has literally changed my life, and now I get to share that same passion with others as a
professional dog trainer
at CKC. My other dog Louis is a bernedoodle - 1.5 years old. He has been such a great pup starting with CKC from the start.
When we’re not training, we love to spend our time outdoors—running, traveling, and swimming all summer!
Emily Hardman
Administrative Lead
Hi, I’m Emily! I'm the Administrative Lead for CKC Training. My journey with CKC Training began in April 2024 with my rescue pup, Winston. He struggled with severe anxiety, especially around men but working with Chantel changed everything. Winston is now confident, calm, and able to hang out at events and practices like a pro.
That transformation sparked my passion for dog training, and I joined the CKC team in November. With a background in business and marketing, I mainly support behind the scenes to help maintain a great client experience. Chantel’s passion is unmatched, and I love being part of a professional team here in Southern Utah that truly changes lives for both dogs and their people.
Outside of CKC, I coach girls lacrosse, hang out with my husband and friends, and travel.
