Dog Training.
We are excited to announce we are currently collaborating with two talented local trainers to bring puppy & adult dog training classes to Bark Avenue Pdx. It has always been in our mission to create a community where both people and their pets feel supported and fulfilled so by offering classes we hope we can further the bond between them. We will be releasing more information very soon and we can't wait to tell you all more!

Marissa
Chrys has always had a love of dogs and wanted to work in the pet industry. In 2017 she finally got that opportunity after a major life style change. She is a certified dog nutritionist, dog behaviorist and trainer. Her focus is on basic obedience for both puppies and adults. She is certified in behavior modification, scent work, psychiatric service dogs and has experience raising puppies for guide dogs.
She is Pet CPR and First Aid trained. If she isn't training dogs you can either find her at the gym, some fun outdoor adventure, (she has a dream to hike the PCT one day). Or at home crocheting and relaxing with her family.
Marissa is the founder, and lead dog trainer with Fetch Success. She has been happily helping people and their dogs for over 4 years.
Her dog training journey started with her first rescue pup Zeus in 2016. After struggling with his behavior, she sent him to a trainer. They used punishment based training methods causing his behavior to unfortunately worsen. It was due to this experience that she decided to become a certified dog trainer through Catch Canine Trainers Academy using Positive Reinforcement Training techniques. In 2018 she adopted her second dog, Athena from the local Humane Society. Although she didn’t have the behavioral problems Zeus had by following the same Positive Reinforcement methods Athena quickly thrived. Marissa's passion is helping dogs and their humans, she believes anything can be accomplished given time, consistency, and patience.
