Chantelle Plourde

Chantelle Plourde

Dog Trainer & Vet Tech Assistant
chantellecctraining@gmail.com

Chantelle has spent her life surrounded by animals and has turned that lifelong passion into a rewarding career working with them every day. Growing up, she cared for a wide variety of animals—from household pets like cats and dogs to horses and livestock. Living among “fur, feathers, and four paws” quickly sparked her curiosity about animal behavior and inspired her to pursue a career dedicated to their care and well-being. Currently she has 2 German shepherds and cattle dog, along with 2 cats and a couple reptiles.

In 2014, Chantelle joined the Camp Canine family, where she began working with dogs in daycare. Over time, she expanded her knowledge and skills, taking on greater responsibilities and building strong relationships with both dogs and their owners. During this time, she also enjoyed private pet sitting and even participated in Dock Dogs diving events with her sister’s dog.

Chantelle began formally training dogs in 2017 and has since gained experience working in both group classes and one-on-one private training sessions. Helping dogs and their owners communicate and succeed together is something she finds incredibly rewarding.

In addition to her training work, Chantelle applies her experience daily in her role as a Veterinary Technician in an emergency veterinary hospital, where her calm handling and training knowledge are invaluable.

Chantelle leaves a lasting impression on everyone she works with and quickly wins over the hearts—and tail wags—of every dog she meets. We are proud to have her as part of our team.
