Charlene Finn is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and has been a trainer/teacher for the past five years. She got her start as an apprentice with a professional dog trainer, and she attends seminars and conferences to stay informed on new and better methods of animal training. She is an AKC-CGC evaluator with excellent experience in teaching basic obedience classes and titling her own dogs in the Rally Obedience forum. Char has fostered dogs for the Animal Welfare League; most recently she fostered a Husky and her pups through Adopt-A-Husky.  Her volunteer work at the P.A.W.S. in Tinley Park is very important to her.  At P.A.W.S. she works with the dogs, helping them to learn some basic obedience and household manners. She has three dogs and one cat of her own. After receiving their Level III Title in Rally Obedience, she and her dog, Mickey, have moved on to agility. Mickey just received his Level 1 Standard (CL1-R) and his Level 1 Fun (CL1-F) Titles from CPE (Canine Performance Events). She and her dog, Sadie are working on their Level III Rally Obedience Title and practicing their routine for the fast-growing sport of Canine Freestyle. As a testimony to the effectiveness of Clicker and Positive Reinforcement Training, Char taught her cat, Crazy Dazy, to “come, “sit” and “pretty kitty” using a clicker. Char is also a Rally Obedience instructor for Canis Sapians Chicago Dog Training.  She welcomes and encourages all family members to become involved in training their dogs! 

Keeping dogs out of shelters and in loving homes is a primary goal of Char's Obedience Training.

Char's Obedience Training offers group lessons that are limited to 8 dogs in order to provide individualized attention. Classes include: Puppy Kindergarten for puppies up to 5 months old, Family Dog for dogs over 5 months old, and Advanced  Obedience which includes preparation for the AKC Canine Good Citizen Test.  Rally'O and Freestyle classes are also offered.
