The Problem
Most dogs don't fail travel. They just never got trained for it.
- Separation distress the first night in a hotel or RV
- Pulling, barking, or panic the moment there's real distraction
- Owners who love the idea of a pet-friendly life but quietly leave the dog behind
- Skills tested for the first time under pressure โ instead of trained ahead of time
"The strategy most people are running isn't a plan. It's hope."
Meet Your Speakers
Hi, we're Kendall & Chan ๐
We're the husband-and-wife team behind Custom K-9 Service Dogs โ where we've spent 13+ years training service dogs to the highest standard of public access there is.
Kendall is a published author (10 Secrets of a Lazy Dog Trainer, Let's Get a Dog) and documentary producer. Chan is a professional trainer and Marine Corps reservist who brings calm, steady structure to every session โ and every stage.
Opposites in temperament, aligned on the mission: any dog, any lifestyle, can become adventure-ready.
The Talk
Your Dog, Your Adventure Buddy
An interactive, human-only workshop. No dogs in the room โ just real skills your audience can use on their very next trip.
Skill 01 ยท Safety Net
Recall
The 5-step system to get your dog back from trouble โ before trouble finds them.
Skill 02 ยท Safety Net
Stay
The 6-step "Core D's & Wild Cards" method โ stop your dog before they get into it.
Skill 03 ยท Quality of Life
Settle
The skill that turns survival mode into actually enjoying the trip โ calm, anywhere.
๐ญ The bit: Kendall & Chan play the "demo dogs" themselves โ acting out the wrong way vs. the right way, live. No unfamiliar dogs in the room, just real handler mechanics your audience can practice on each other and take home.
A Real Client Story
The RV of their dreams โ and a dog who wouldn't climb the steps
They'd finally bought the RV. Ready to hit the road โ until their dog Tango panicked at the steps,ย got carsick and ate the curtains out of pure anxiety. Not to worry, we fixed it! They (and Tango!) are out there living the dream right now.
โ the gap between hoping and training, in one client's own words
