Testimonials

We had a great experience with Chris Farr as he trained our 6 year old Pitbull, Domino, and of course, us as dog handlers! Before the 3 week training, Domino was pretty much impossible to walk anywhere without being pulled, dragged and fearful of encounters with other dogs. We were amazed to see how quickly Chris trained Domino to heel, place, come, sit and overall make good choices when walking by other dogs! Chris does an excellent job of establishing a solid and trusting relationship with the dog as well with the owners. So overall, the results are extremely effective.

Chris did a great job of training, both me and my dog. He uses a lot of relevant analogies to get across the concepts, and he’s always checking-in to assure we’re on the same page with expectations and how we’re progressing. He helped me learn to be a better handler and trainer so that my dog and I can continue to learn and train beyond our lesson time with Chris. I’d recommend Chris if you’re serious about training an obedient dog.
– Client

We recently completed a week of puppy obedience training with Chris at Best by Farr for our 6-month-old English Springer Spaniel, Archie–and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Archie is a high-energy pup, and Chris showed incredible patience not just with him, but with us as well while we learned how to properly handle and communicate with our dog. Chris is clearly passionate about what he does. His instructions were clear, straightforward, and easy to follow. In just one week, Archie learned essential commands like sit, stay, place, come, and heel–and more importantly, we learned how to reinforce them at home.
