An avid outdoorsman that grew up in North Central Saskatchewan hunting and fishing throughout childhood, became interested in hunting with hounds and spent many years tracking cougars and bears with dogs throughout Western Canada and the Northern United States. 

 

After leaving the Canadian Armed Forces, Chad became a big game guide in Alberta and specialized in dangerous game trailing with hounds dogs that he raised and trained. His success in the industry lead to involvement in predator studies with an Albertan University and the provincial government. Chad later became involved in a Bear Aversion project in Northern Alberta and this lead to pursuing a further interest and involvement in importing, raising and training Belgian Malinois' and Dutch Shepherds and following his desire to begin learning, training, and completing certification in working dog training.

MRK9 has raised and trained many dogs that are successfully filling roles in Police, Military, Search and Rescue, Service and Special Needs, Family Protection, PSA and, sport dog disciplines.

Chris has been obsessed with K9s and training for nearly two decades. While studying multimedia in college, he ditched his coursework to travel to Alaska to train and handle for a musher competing in the Iditarod—foreshadowing his entire career of dogs + production (don't worry, he eventually graduated). After years as a reality TV producer (ever see 'Mountain Men'? - he produced that), Chris moved into an off-grid yurt and built Run Your Pack: Pet Training and Working K9s. When kids came along, the yurt became his backyard teaching space and production studio : Thus Work Your Pack was born. When he's not training Law Enforcement K9s, competing in PSA, or deploying his tracking dog for military training, Chris is behind the camera working to educate AND entertain—because, just like with dogs, if there's no power and engagement, there really isn't much learning either.

 

If he's not filming or brushing dog hair off his clothes, Chris can be found with his wife wondering how their three young children are now in charge of everything… Though he does escape occasionally to play some ice hockey.
