Testimonials
“We are so happy with the results, Chris & his team are great at what they do! Our puppy is a sweetheart but a puppy – pulled very hard on a leash, nippy, didn’t know how to approach other dogs, couldn’t be left in a room by herself if not gated, etc. We opted for the multiple week boarding training and are thrilled with the results!! In just a couple weeks there, she has been MUCH better on a leash, can be off leash and listen to commands, understands no, gets along much better with our older dog, and can be trusted to roam around our house now. She has become a disciplined, confident puppy while still maintaining her goofy, loving personality!! At just 7 months old, she is already better behaved than most adult dogs. She has been back with us for about 2 months now & hasn’t lost any of her new found discipline either. If you have any kind of behavior with your dog/puppy that you can’t seem to change on your own, I highly recommend you give Chris a call. He will get you the results you desire & teach you how to continue the training at home!”

“Can’t say enough good things about Chris Park K9. When I first started working with Chris, my 1 year old golden retriever was shy, timid, and easily overwhelmed by new environments.It was so hard to see my pup struggle with confidence and fear in situations that should have been enjoyable.From the very beginning, Chris was patient, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to understand my dog’s unique personality and also took the time to teach me how to best support Winnie in new environments.Now, my dog is noticeably more confident and comfortable in situations that used to be too much. Walks are less stressful, new experiences are met with curiosity instead of fear, and I’m seeing my pup’s true personality come through more every day.I’m so grateful for Chris and highly recommend him to anyone looking to build a stronger, more positive relationship with their dog—especially if you’re dealing with fear or anxiety issues.”

“I can’t recommend Chris Park and his team, enough, (thanks, London!). Our 5 month puppy, Ollie was crazy before Chris’ program, jumping, biting, barking, not listening to us at all. We had tried other training programs, with no results, Ollie would just get barricaded away from other dogs. After 2 weeks with Chis, he is much calmer, quieter, he listens to us, and no biting. He is still a rambunctious puppy but, so much better behaved.Chris taught us to understand the puppy brain. The training continues at home and he just keeps getting better!Thank you! ”
