Chris Maguire did an amazing job training my puppy (now almost 2 years old) Maggie. He patiently taught her to sit, lie down, come when called, and even go to the bathroom on command. His friendly, positive approach works wonderfully with both puppies and adult dogs, and he’s just as great with people as he is with pets. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a skilled and caring dog trainer.

Christopher was wonderful with our dog, Holly. He is very knowledgeable about dog behavior. Within minutes of meeting our dog he had her attention and she was following his commands. He was very patient with our dog, and us!!! He not only trained our dog, but also showed us to how to keep up the training that she had learned with him. He was very thorough in explaining everything, and in showing us what to do. He also had each of us (my husband and I) walk our dog separately so we both knew how to keep her consistent with her training. We highly recommend Christopher!!! He is truly a dog whisperer!

Chris was awesome! On time and very professional. He made a printed out plan for me to follow to transfer my dogs to going outside for the bathroom only. I follow the schedule he gave me and my dogs are responding very well. I’m very thankful to Chris for the help and would recommend him to everyone !!!

I can’t say enough good things about Chris Maguire. I always wanted a dog to go on walks with, and when we first got Stout, although he was small, he quickly grew to be 100 pounds and was pulling too hard to the point I could no longer walk him. Chris offered to help so he came over with a special leash that suppressed him from pulling. He would come on several walks with us until we were all comfortable. Now I can walk Stout far and long every day! Chris is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about dogs and their owners. I highly recommend him and we are so grateful!

Working with Chris has been an excellent experience. After only one session, he introduced effective techniques that significantly improved my dog Gracie's leash walking. He is now helping us address her distractions during walks, and we are already seeing great progress. I highly recommend Chris, as his methods are both practical and well-received by my whoodle.
