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!

This was our 2nd time using Chris Carr's Stronghaus training, and have referred him to countless friends/clients over the past 11 years. Both dogs my husband & I have had are Rottweilers. Our 1st one passed last year but til the day he died people always said he was thee best trained dog they've ever seen & I always credited Chris Carr for that. Every referral I have sent him over the years has nothing but positive feedback and how well their dog responded to the training. If you want your beloved family member to be happy and well trained look no further than Stronghaus! Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog in need of training Chris Carr is, in our opinion, the best dog trainer in the Philadelphia/New Jersey area! Probably the whole east coast!

A great big thank you to Stronghaus Training. Just finished 5 week hands on obedience session. Never thought my beagle, Dax, would perform as well as he did. He's a good dog, but I think the exceptional trainer, Chris was the one who provided both myself and my dog with the tools needed to be successful. Stonghaus Training is the real deal. Thanks Chris, Dax and I will be coming back for another adventure -, Off Leash. With a Beagle what. We'll see.

Stronghaus Dog Training Center is by far one of the best around. Our puppy went from always jumping pulling on the leash on walks and not listening to saying one word to her and she stops on whatever commands we give her that Chris taught us to use with her! We reached out to Chris in the middle of the week and he said that our puppy was being defiant and stubborn, he also stated she was scared. Our puppy had never been away from us, so we understood the reasoning. We kept our faith in Stronghaus! Chris and his team at Stronghaus is HANDS DOWN THE BEST !

I brought my very "strong willed" 6 month old to Chris and learned that he wasn't as strong willed as I thought. Chris showed me the error of my ways and my puppy has now become a very obedient companion. He is not perfect yet but, quite often I realize it is because I am not giving him the right signals. Every time I think back to Chris' teaching and correct my behavior, I see my pup respond the way I want him to.

Chris has done a great job with my pup! I have a strong-willed, stubborn, smart, opinionated 6 month old pitbull. With all of those traits, he will need a lot of continued work, but several neighbors have commented to me that they already see the difference! Chris spends the ti…Read full reviewClose full review

Chris has done a great job with my pup! I have a strong-willed, stubborn, smart, opinionated 6 month old pitbull. With all of those traits, he will need a lot of continued work, but several neighbors have commented to me that they already see the difference! Chris spends the time to explain the training my pup received and how to properly correct him to reinforce the work Chris and team have done with him. I highly recommend Stronghaus Dog Training! Thanks Chris!
