Testimonials
Our 8 week old mini goldendoodle spent 2 weeks with Kris. The communication with Kris was excellent, with video & text updates on our pup’s progress. She is always prompt in her communication which is valuable. We are in Murfreesboro and she picked our pup up and brought her back home. Birdie came home knowing sit, down, come, off, and leave it & how to walk on a leash. When we correct her she sits and looks at us, and you can tell Kris taught her to be a good listener and learner. Her training has been very easy to keep up with at home after Kris laid such a good foundation! During the time she spent with Kris she made huge improvements in her crate training as well. I would highly recommend Kris and her dog training, it’s been very effective for us and made having a puppy a great experience!

Kris had my 6 year old lab for two weeks and I still can’t believe the progress she was able to make with him. I have a brand new dog and it has completely changed our world. Not only do I feel more connected to him but I can already see the impact on our quality of life and my stress levels. I absolutely hated going on walks with him before BDF and now I’m jumping at the opportunity to take him out. He even goes to public places with me, which I NEVER would have imagined before. Kris was amazing to work with – she communicated well while she had my pup and was great in the transition process and helped me learn how to implement his training at home. I could not recommend this training more!! The only regret I have is not doing it sooner!

We’re absolutely blown away with Kris’s breeding and training program! We brought our puppy home from Kris in January & last week we sent him through a week of puppy training with Kris, while we were on vacation. It was the best decision we could’ve ever made for our little guy! Kris provides EXCEPTIONAL training, tons of support for the fur-parents & lots of love on your babies! If you’re looking for an amazing breed to grow your family or dog training, Black Dog Farm is incredible!
