The best dog trainer in the area! Now my dog is older and he listens and I can take him out in public and he does great! Thank you

Chris is an amazing dog trainer. Highly recommend him. We started training our Doberman, Montezuma at 2 months & we get compliments of how well behave he is. My boyfriend & I feel confident & comfortable taking him out to local places. Monte will ignore other dogs & stay in place while we’re out. Also the trainer Chris is very knowledgeable on dogs behavior as well. Highly recommend him.

I sent my dog to the 30 day board and train and the transformation was incredible! The team sent updates videos and made sure I knew how to continue the training at home. Worth every penny!!!
