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!

Chris and his training absolutely changed our lives! In just the short 24 hours of our dogs coming home, we have seen huge changes in their behaviors and habits. Our dogs have learned self control and can follow multiple commands as well as staying by my side on leash. Chris gave us our very own "training" when we arrived for pick up, so we understood how to correct behaviors and not continue to enable bad behaviors. Both dogs have been working on continuing their training at home and we are excited to see the benefits as the days pass!

I was at my wits end with a beautiful and very intelligent and intense Belgian Malinois. I was glad he acted out upon our arrival for his 10 day training stay. Chris was able to see what I told him was true. However, when I returned to pick up Oak he was a bit of a different dog in an amazing way. He displayed an the ability to follow commands he was calm, he was what I’m looking for in this dog. This is just the beginning of our training journey. I’m following up with what Chris says to do at home and going to continue our training with Chris. My dog was returned in great health and without any complaints. Trusting Chris with my dog has made all the difference. I am dedicated to being teachable as well. Chris is a phenomenal trainer and instructor. My grandson wasn’t able to get near this dog and for the first time he walked the dog on the campus and also at home. We do have a long way to go as I stated but even with where we are now I have a much more manageable puppy. Chris you are simple the best in my humble opinion. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤦🏽‍♀️👍🏽💪🏽

Bringing my dog to Stronghaus was honestly one of the best decisions ever. Chris explains everything for successful transfer of skills. Amazing results!

We came to Chris with our rescue lab mix who had issues with other male dogs.These issues made every walk in our neighborhood difficult. After ten days with Chris, our boy is a different dog. Chris worked with him and us, so that Jasper knows exactly what is expected of him. We can now send clear, concise commands that have made all the difference for Jasper’s success. Walking with Jasper is a joy and we continue daily to review with him. Thank you Chris! You are truly a blessing to us and to others who love their fur babies!

We picked Stronghaus for a boarding train. We sent our 4 year old female pitbull after her second attack. Chris is very assertive, and straight to the point. Mora spent 10 days in the farm, and was able to learn basic obedience. When we picked her up, she looked great, her nails were even trimmed. Chris was able to teach Mora so much , and built our confidence to a point which we never imagine it could be. I am writing this review after 3 weeks of our pick up date , we had some trouble at the beginning, we called Chirs and were able to learn that we weren’t being the best masters and sticking to rules which you have to. The facilities are clean, and well kept. Thank you Chris.
