5/5

Unbelievable. Chris is exceptional. It was evident that he took the time to understand our dog's unique needs + personality, and the results have been incredible. Our dog is calmer, more confident and more obedient. His professionalism + passion shines though. We are beyond grateful for the positive impact. 200% recommend.

I cannot RAVE enough about Chris & his program! I have a female pit puppy, at the time was 10 months old & 60 lbs already. She didn't understand personal space when greeting people & walking her on leash had become unmanageable. Going through this program has enabled me to host gatherings at my home again, Bo doesn't have to be kenneled while I work or when guests come over & she is CALMER! I also referred my neighbor with a German Shepard pup that was in the same boat and now we both have WONDERFULLY behaved members of our families! I owe Chris so much for helping to create a life for my family that can be calm and fun. 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE!!! THANK YOU CHRIS!

Chris is an amazing trainer!! We are shocked by how well behaved our 7.5 year old dog is! Chris talked us through everything and when he knew our main concern was our dog stealing food from our toddler he took extra time to make sure our dog was good with all the distractions! Chris is super friendly and you can tell how much he loves working with dogs! We are very grateful we found Chris and highly recommend him!

My wife, daughter, and I added a wonderful Goldie Retriever puppy, Goldie, to our family during the summer of 2023. Goldie is the kindest and sweetest dog, which is exactly what we wanted, but she also gets distracted very easily because she gets so excited to see people and other things in her environment. We struggled to get Goldie to listen to our commands and respect our household, so we searched the Central Ohio area for the best rated trainers. Chris with The Dog Trainer rose to the top. We arranged for Goldie to be placed in The Dog Trainer’s board and train program. Chris made sure that Goldie retained her cute and cuddliness qualities, while training her to respect us and our home - exactly what we wanted! Goldie now knows multiple commands to help ensure a well-behaved pup. We would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone who is in the need for dog training. He’s great!
