Questions & answers

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!

I have a 2 1/2 German Shepherd. She went for two weeks to see Chris. After a week I was allowed to come see her progress. During this visit Chris had another dog on leashout when I was walking my pup. I sat my pup (who sat next to me and not walked around me thinking about my command) I dropped my pups leash and walked 20-30 yards away, Chris walked this other dog between my pup and I, and around my pup. She did NOT MOVE, she just sat there!! Until I called her and walked right past the other dog straight to me, didnt even look at the other dog. I mean, WOW!-- I just picked her up after two weeks and wow! If she didnt have a hidden birth mark on her, I would have guessed I got the wrong dog. So glad I had her trained here. just went for a walk and it was a walk not a pulling by my high energy pup. I recommend Chris to another that needs help with their pup.

Took my 14 week old Belgian Malinois to Chris for a 2 week board in basic obedience training. Dropped off a spirited, rambunctious jumper and biter and got back a better behaved pup. Chris spent time to educate our entire family in handling our dog correctly and consistently and was very knowledgeable. I could not have asked for a better trainer and a better experience.

Awesome trainer knows what he's talking about, I highly recommend him to anyone that wants to have there dog learn how to respect the leash and respect them as pack leaders

My one year old cane corso Jake, began to present my family with serious challenges. Although we loved Jake, we began to question whether we had made the right decision in choosing him to become the newest member of our family. In spite of all of the love and attention that we gave Jake, he still displayed extremely aggressive and down right vicious behaviors. Taking Jake for a walk was almost impossible; having Jake inside of the house was drudgery; and worst of all my grandson wanted to spend time with Jake but felt very uncomfortable doing so! And then came Chris Carr! Everything has changed since we met Chris ! I have to admit I had my doubts about Chris's ability to change Jake's behaviors - having gone through several other trainers. But to my surprise, Chris accomplished everything that he said he would! Walking Jake is an absolute pleasure; Jake is always inside of our home- and is well behaved! But the very best part of all is that he and my grandson have become best buddies! Oh yeah, and the aggressive, vicious behavior - we left that at the Stronghaus Training Center! If you want the best trainer for your pet - you don't need to look any further - you definitely won't find a trainer that's better than Chris Carr! Thanks soooo much Chris - you really are the very best!
