Our Team
DYLAN ROWSE
Owner and Head Trainer
My name is Dylan Rowse and I’m the founder of Chinook K-9. I have always had an incredible passion for dogs, as well as a strong desire to help others.
When I was introduced to the world of both sport and pet dog training, I knew I had found my calling.
I have spent the last half decade furthering my skills and education as a professional dog trainer, learning from industry leading professionals, and training hundreds of dogs and owners succesfully.
In 2023 I had the privilege of certifying under 2x World IGP Champion Ivan Balabanov’s revolutionary Training Without Conflict system of dog training, the first in Western Canada to do so.
I’ve honed my skills and knowledge and have made it my life’s goal to help others find the same level of success in their relationships with their dogs that I’ve found with my own.
LIV JOHANNSON
Trainer
Hi I’m Liv and I’m one of the trainers at Chinook K9! From a young age I’ve had a passion for working with animals. After helping my grandmother with her reactive dog, it made me realize first hand the effect behavioural concerns have not only on the dog, but the owner as-well.
After completing schooling for Veterinary Technician Assistant, I realized I wanted to help dogs from a behavioural standpoint, rather than a medical one.
At the beginning of 2023 I reached out to Chinook k9 and applied for their kennel tech position and have worked my way up to becoming one of their trainers.
With a strong commitment to both the well-being of dogs and the relationships they share with their owners, I strives to create lasting, positive changes that benefit both parties.
