What people have asked about this business.
Is the training center still operational? I've sent an email through their website, I've called and left messages with no responses.
I would think so, they just recently moved to this location. Chris does most everything on his own, maybe he's on vacation. FYI: he is an honest, straightforward guy and a great trainer!

Total Transformation!! I couldn't be happier with the the results of the two week board and train. I took my 10 month old rescue - a large breed, stubborn minded dog - who was having discipline issues (leash pulling, jumping, nipping, etc.). Chris and his team returned to me a dog that is focused and with newfound respect for the owner. His on-leash discipline has already received compliments from other dog owners, and in some cases wishful thinking that they had sent their dogs to Stronghaus!
While I know the work isn't done, Stronghaus has provided a solid foundation and given me the tools to be successful as I continue the training. Thanks again to Chris and his staff for the hard work, and look forward to future training sessions.

My dog Bernie just finished Chris’s two week obedience training (specifically for aggressive dogs). Chris was very straightforward with me and gave me his expectations for my dog during my evaluation. He also didn’t deem my dog as aggressive but just in need of obedience training and gave me some money back. After the 2 weeks I was very impressed with the training my dog had received. Chris is very knowledgeable and a “no nonsense” kind of guy. Overall I would highly recommend him. Great guy all around.

AMAZING!! Bring your dog here if u have any problems!! My dog was aggressive and so disobedient but when I picked him up it was a completely different dog! I can finally command my once wild and dominant dog. Trust me when I say this is the best dog trainer I have ever experienced and it’s definitely worth every penny!

By far the worst place i could have chosen...I got a call from Chris last night asking to come get my dog because he is "untrainable" and offered to give me $600 back instead of keeping it. So I agreed. When I got my dog home, and checked him out he was clearly abused and or mistreated. He has multiple deep scratches on his back which are clearly from another dog but Chris says my dog wasn't around others. He's elbows are raw from being left to lay on concrete and he has a hole going through the side of his cheek into his mouth. I explained I wanted all my money back from Chris since he clearly mistreated my dog. Chris obviously refused so im going to have to take another route. I hope no one ever sends their dog there to be mistreated like I did. Please caution choosing this guy

Chris is very good with training dogs. Just recently had my dog receive basic training this month October. He goes over the training taught. My dog needed to be taught. He is a good instructor and our dog is more obedient now.
