Chris Schroeder is a behavior consultant and dog trainer with North Shore Animal League America. Chris is a veteran of the United States military forces and has worked as a field training officer and member of the special operations response team for one of the most dangerous prisons in America. He has also trained, competed and instructed men, women and children in the martial arts for over 20 years. As an instructor, Chris has conducted seminars to the community on a broad range of topics to include child abduction prevention to healthy lifestyle choices. A dog lover all of his life, it wasn’t until he met his wife, a dog behaviorist herself, and her calm submissive companion “Gracie” that this shared passion for dogs began to manifest.
He began volunteering alongside his wife at local shelters evaluating dogs with problem behaviors and setting forth modification protocols. A strict believer in “exercise promotes stability”, he would design exercise regimens according to the breed and visit these dogs on a regular basis to ensure their release of negative energy. He also has volunteered his knowledge to families in the community with dogs who had behavior issues and were close to being abandoned or re-homed.
Working with North Shore Animal League continues to be a rewarding experience for him along with the pride and professionalism shared by his colleagues in the Pet Behavior Department.
