At A+ Dog Obedience we are committed to ensuring that the art of dog training continues to grow and that dog trainers everywhere have the resources they need to become as skilled as they want to be. Chad Mackin, our director of training, is in constant contact with top trainers from around the country. Many of these trainers have offered Chad their professional endorsements.
Mary Mazzeri of Caredog in Chicago says the following:
Chad Mackin is the kind of trainer I'd want on my team if we lived closer to one another. Chad hails from Texas and I'm a bit removed living in the Chicagoland area. I met Chad at a couple of International Association of Canine Professionals conferences. We have exchanged information and training tips in person, via email and by telephone. Chad is a great problem solver, a true balanced professional who has a studied, methodical approach, a gentle hand with dogs and a patient manner with their owners. I would not hesitate to recommend Chad as a first class dog trainer to anyone.

Eric Lundquist of Dogstar training systems and the rational dog training website says:
To Whom It May Concern,
I have known Chad now for a couple of years through our association with the IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals). Over this time I have come to know Chad as an extremely helpful and considerate canine professional ALWAYS willing to help other professionals anytime they are having difficulty with a canine client or the canine's owner.
His absolute devotion to dogs and his work is readily apparent in his open minded way of tackling new subject matter and always questioning what has been learned before.
He is an obvious asset to the profession, to the IACP and to ALL the MANY dog owners he has directly helped in a hands on manner and all the countless others he has helped with simply words of encouragement and direction.
I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him to any dog owner looking for help and guidance in working/training with their dog from basic obedience to the most difficult and demanding behavior problem solving situations.
I met Chad Mackin through the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). Beyond his obvious talent and professionalism, his relentless search for greater understanding impresses me the most. I felt comfortable endorsing Chad for a position on IACP's Board of Directors - so I am absolutely comfortable recommending his professional services to families who love their dogs.
