Natasha Chilton
Natasha got started in dogs when she was showing her Cocker Spaniel in 4H growing up. During this time she found a love for dogs and their training. She continued showing in AKC sports when she aged out of 4h. She got started in service dogs when she trained her own psychiatric service dog, Ford, her Golden mix. While training Ford she got a job with Pup Master Academy where she mentored under Chris Keetley and became a professional dog trainer through him. Ford has gotten significantly better with his reactivity and you can see him showing off his thousands of tricks and commands at shows and events. He enjoys sports such as FastCat, Barn Hunt and is training for many more! Ford had a very short working career and was forced to retire early when he became severely fear reactive with other dogs after being attacked by pet dogs and fake service dogs that were in non pet friendly places where they didn’t belong such as Walmart and Frontier Mall. Ford had to retire before he was 3 years old, forcing Natasha to lose a major part of her freedom. This led her to get her current service dog, Bashir, her Rough Collie who she trained as her cardiac alert and mobility dog. Natasha found a love of training service dogs to help other disabled individuals like her to have the freedom they deserve. She also grew a passion for educating people and businesses about service animals, their rights and the rights of the businesses that accommodate them. When she’s not working with Board & Train dogs for Pup Master or service dogs for Mission Service Dog, she spends her free time volunteering her time for the local 4H Dog Program, learning about dog nutrition, showing her dog’s in AKC sports such as Rally, FastCat, Barn Hunt, and more, mentoring her younger sister in Junior Showmanship, reading, riding horses and taking care of her homestead with her boyfriend.
Zahra Keith
Hi, I'm Zahra. I was born and raised in Washington state and have always loved being around animals, especially dogs and horses. I moved to Wyoming early 2023, which is when I started learning the trade of dog training. I have a service dog of my own and have really enjoyed helping other people with their own dogs, working or pet. In my free time, I enjoy working with my own dog, as well as hanging out with friends and crocheting. Crafting and dogs has become my entire personality, and I am totally fine with that.
Lucii Kitley
Im Luci! I'm a 25-year-old mom, navigating the exciting world of parenthood alongside my energetic 2-year-old son. When I'm not chasing after him, I'm immersed in my other passion: dog training. With two years of experience and a certification in dog obedience training, I've found fulfillment in helping both dogs and their owners build lasting relationships through balanced reinforcement and effective communication. My days are a whirlwind of toddler giggles, wagging tails, and endless learning opportunities.
