Chris did a great job with our new puppy Smokey! As first time dog owners, we were very green to training, but Chris made it easy by laying out all of the critical commands to train and milestones to reach for new puppy owners. We did the multi session package which ended up being a great value in the long run, but even upon completion of the training Chris would frequently check in on our progress. Chris truly cares about his clients and we would strongly recommend to all who are considering training for their new puppy!

Chris is extremely knowledgeable and patient. While working with my dog Seven and I, he showcased several techniques for on-leash walking vastly improving Seven’s behavior while taking walks around the neighborhood. I feel a lot more comfortable bringing Seven with me to more public area where we’ll encounter other dogs, all thanks to Chris! 10/10 would recommend everytime.

Chris is an excellent dog trainer! He worked with our dog Harper on loose leash walking and helped her stay focused despite distractions on our walks. The improvement has been incredible - walks are now enjoyable instead of a constant struggle. Chris was patient, knowledgeable, and gave my wife and I leash handling techniques we could use right away. Harper responds so much better now, and I feel much more confident handling her in busy environments. Highly recommend Chris for anyone dealing with leash pulling or distraction issues!

Chris is a true professional. Our dog has always had a lot of energy, sometimes too much. It was always very hard to have guests over, but since doing a few sessions on the weekends with Chris, he is much more well behaved. I highly recommend Hometown Hounds dog training.

Hometown Hounds is amazing! He’s not only great with dogs but also really takes the time to teach you as an owner. From day one he connected with my dog and tailored the training to fit his needs. I started seeing improvements in behavior and obedience much quicker than I expected. What I really appreciated was how patient and clear Chris is—he makes training simple and easy to follow, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. My dog always looks forward to sessions, and I feel way more confident handling him now. If you’re looking for personal, effective, and caring dog training, I highly recommend Chris and Hometown Hounds. He’s made such a positive difference for both me and my dog!
