Successful dogcatcher, e.g (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

captor

(Other definitions for captor that I've seen before include "He catches someone" , "One confining another" , "this one may have led some into a trap" , "One taking a prisoner" , "The one who holds the prisoner" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
