About Us
Meet your force-free dog and puppy trainer. Serving the greater Sacramento, CA area.
Hello, I’m Chloe MacBean. . .
I am a certified professional dog trainer (CPDT-KA, ADB-CCBC, CSAT). After spending over 12 years in the tech industry, I was feeling empty and unfulfilled. I took a leap of faith and started volunteering at a local animal shelter to fill my life-long love of working with dogs. In almost no time at all, I knew I needed to dive into all things dog, and thus, in 2019—Lab & Leo was born. Lab & Leo is named after two dogs that inspired me to trust my gut and transition into a new industry: Jack, my Black Labrador Retriever and Takoda, my Leonberger. I owe everything to these two guys!
My goal as a trainer is to always empower guardians to create strong relationships with their dogs based on clear communication, deep rooted connection and cooperation. I truly believe that this allows the dog to become a more mindful thinker. I use force-free, science-based, positive reinforcement training methods that yield terrific results. I am always expanding my education in the field to bring new, practical techniques to my clients. My hope is that I help create harmonious homes for all dogs and pet parents!
Peace, Paws, and Harmony,
– Chloe
