Questions & answers

From Google

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 1 and 1/2 year old female Rottweilers who had a terrible pulling problem while on walks. She has some non listing issues along with bitting problems and stubbornness. When I went for a evaluation in less than 15 minutes right infront of me she stopped pulled and whole attitude changed. Very pleased with the 10 day board and train now its my turn to make our bond stronger. Thanks Chris

Chris and his team are true professionals in the dog training world. He trained my childhood Rottweiler many years ago and now recently my wife and I sent our Rottweiler puppy, Arrow, to him and he did amazing work with her as well. He’s friendly, personable, a great communicator and most importantly a fantastic dog trainer! A true generational dog trainer.

We took our 7 month old Rottie here for a 10 board and training program and we were not disappointed. Chris is professional, respectful, and most importantly knowledgeable on not only training your dog but transferring that knowledge to the owner to continue their progress at home. Do not expect to pick up your dog and all of your issues disappear where you as the owner do not need to work on it anymore. As the owner of your dog, YOU must continue to reinforce the training at home. A few days after pick up and we are continuing the commands and training at home and we are pleased with the results. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for long term structure and discipline for their pup.

Going to see Chris is a MUST if you are a dog owner, even an experienced one. In just five weeks, I feel like I have a different dog, all because of how I was taught to do things differently. For the record, I grew up with dogs, trainers, etc., and thought I knew how to do things, but this experience was necessary. I am glad I stayed open-minded and did what I thought was best for my great dane puppy. Having a dog is delightful enough but having one who listens to commands while creating a respectful relationship is a whole new level of happiness. Do EVERYONE a favor and go see Chris. He is professional, intelligent, and I am pretty sure has magical powers.

After my husband passed away, my dogs and I were struggling to find a new sense of balance. The grief and stress had affected all of us, and their behavior started to shift in ways I didn’t always know how to handle. That’s when I found Chris, and I can honestly say he has been a lifesaver for our little family. Chris is not just an incredible dog trainer—he is compassionate, patient, and truly understands the emotional connection between people and their pets. He helped me rebuild structure and confidence, both for myself and for my dogs, and his guidance brought much-needed stability and peace back into our lives. My dogs and I are beyond grateful for his support. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly cares.
