Head of Behaviour
Cindy is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) and has served as Apprentice for the Calgary Humane Society, teaching behaviour classes and working on assessments of incoming animals. She is a Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine (CBCC KA) Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT KA) and has countless hours of first-hand experience working with almost every conceivable behavioural situation. For over 20 years, Cindy has devoted herself to the care, understanding, and development of the human-animal bond. Her philosophy is that when we bring animals into our world we have a responsibility to work with them through training to not only manage that shared world, but to thrive in it. Her goal is to keep dogs in their homes forever, and help their human companions reap the joys and rewards that such relationships bring. Her work started with fostering animals, working with each as an individual to ensure they would have the best possible chance for success in a new home. In 2004 she joined the Calgary Zoo, and spent six years as a keeper/trainer. In 2010, she realized she could make a more direct impact by applying her years of experience and knowledge to working intimately with dogs and their humans, fostering positive and compassionate communication and a fun, meaningful, rewarding relationship.
Our Trainers
Stephanie Schulte
KPA CTP
Trainer
Stephanie passion for helping any animal in need stems back to childhood, she was the one who would find strays and go door to door looking for the owner. Over the years her passion never left but was put to the back of her mind while she focused on being a mom to 5 children. A few having mental health needs and needing a lot of support and understanding. Now that they have tools to help them, Steph was able to focus on her passion again. She started volunteering with Halo Husky Haven, that turned in to a need to learn more about how dogs and human’s psychology are so alike. She started working at Chasin’ tails as a receptionist and shadowing any trainer that was open to teaching her. On her down time, she helps find homes for the Halo dogs, does Photography, and spends her time with her kids and husband. You may see her kids in tow when she is here on her days off working with the Huskies or one of the trainers. Its definitely a family affair.

Jesse Attrill CPDT KA
Head of Training
Jesse has always had a deep love and passion for animals. When he was young, he grew up with horses and a variety of dogs, Cats, even a few wolf-dog hybrids. Growing up with so many animals really taught him the importance of understanding body language and how to communicate with them. Jesse started at Chasin’ Tails Dog Daycare Centre in 2012 where he advanced from a canine coach to a highly revered dog trainer by his clients and colleges. It was at Chasin’ Tails where Jesse first discovered his love the dog behaviour, he then became the facilities dog behaviour supervisor. This involves teaching dogs how to manage themselves and behave in the groups. Jesse also teaches workshops to the staff, building relationships with the dogs, safe handling and how effectively communicate with them in groups. Jesse began apprenticing with the different trainers at Chasin’ Tails, where he learned many different tools and techniques for dealing with different temperaments. Jesse has always liked to challenge himself, so its not surprise his favourite dogs to work with are the “hard to handle”. After becoming certified through the council of certified dog trainers and completing his level 4 accredited behavioural certification through the British college of Canine studies, Jesse has become the head trainer at Chasin’ tails. He oversees our Edu-play/Edu-puppy programs, does private lessons, and teaches many different classes like Elementary teen manners and Reactive L.I.F.E class. Lastly if Jesse didn’t have enough going on, he is a valued member of Halo Husky Haven and helps our rescues be successful in their forever homes.
