Testimonials

“Chris is THE best trainer I have ever worked with. We tried two other dog trainers previously, such as K9 development, but none of their methods actually stuck or helped our dog long-term. Our anxious 3 year old pit bull was a handful to take outside on walks/outings or when guests came over. Throughout the entire process Chris was very kind, professional, and always explained every step of the way. I felt confident and comfortable with his techniques and saw significant differences in our dogs behavior right off the bat. Our dog knows Chris by name and gets excited when we tell him it’s time to go train. Chris not only helped train my dog but also helped me understand my dogs behavior and needs. I always felt comfortable asking him questions and expressing my thoughts and feelings. I can’t say enough amazing things about Chris, we are so grateful to have met him and always recommend him to everyone that has a dog. Thank you breakthrough dog training from Chico and family!”
-Linda Ahmad

“Chris helped train both my dogs and he did an amazing job at it. It was always a hassle dealing with them, but thanks to Chris’s help, it’s been a whole lot better. Chris is very understanding and flexible around your schedule. He explains things very clearly and demonstrates also, if needed. My experience with Breakthrough Dog Training has been a good one, definitely one I’d recommend to others.”
-Julie

“I sent my dog to the 30 day board and train and the transformation was incredible! The team sent updates videos and made sure I knew how to continue the training at home. Worth every penny!!!”
