Would recommend Chris to anyone! Our puppy is now the best version of himself. We had lots of issues controlling his energetic personality and felt like we were constantly trying to keep him from chewing things, jumping on people, stealing our kids’ toys, counter surfing, dragging us on the leash etc. He now listens so well and has significantly better manners. We are LOVING our sweet puppy and everyone who comes to our house is so impressed with how different he is (and they are very happy to no longer be jumped on and nipped at☺️)! Five star training program!!

We recently sent our two dogs to Chris. One set in her ways at 5 years old and a pup 7 months old. They both had different issues that caused us stress. The pup invaded personal space, jumped on people young and old, and would mouth on our guest and our forearms. The oldest would aggressively bark at people and dogs passing by, delivery workers, and showed signs of aggression on leash and around food. Both didn’t listen well and rarely would come when called. Fourteen days with Chris and that all changed. They have been home for more than two weeks and the changes have been AMAZING. We would highly recommend him to anyone hoping to learn how to be a better dog owner and have a better understanding of the relationship between owner and dog. We look forward to boarding our pups with Chris anytime we are out of town as well! Thank you, Chris! Our lives are improved greatly because of your hard work!

Chris exceeded all of our expectations and more! We dropped off some crazy, hyper dogs and received back some relaxed well behaved pups that can finally be members of our family again. They work well under high distraction, have fun playing in the yard, are gentle around our baby, and relaxed and lovable members of our family. We can’t thank Chris enough for the peace of mind he gave us! Once he brought them home, he did a great job of teaching us how to maintain good and correct any bad behaviors. We can’t recommend him enough- definitely worth the investment!

Worth every penny! Our 1 year old dog was completely wild. His nickname used to be flight risk, now he's able to play off leash. Our dog Elliot had difficulty staying focused on our commands and listening in most situations. Elliot's recall is so amazing now, he is able to play in our (not fenced) backyard without his lead! He is friendly when meeting new people and has such good manners. Most importantly he seems so happy. He's able to go with us whenever possible and is so excited to show off everything he knows. He has so much confidence in his training and it's really helped with his separation anxiety. Would and have recommended this program for any dog owner struggling to find the right training program. The e-collar has also been very beneficial in correcting some bad play nipping behaviors. Since Elliot has been to the dog trainer we have built on his new confidence and taught him additional commands like drop it. The commands he learned at the dog trainer opened a whole new world of opportunities for Elliot to explore safely. I was always worried when taking him out that he would jump on people and scare them or just take off, now we both have the confidence in his behavior to go just about anywhere! I'm so grateful we found this trainer, he truly knows how to give dogs a new outlook on life.
