Testimonials

Chris was fabulous with matching us up with our perfect pup. At just eight weeks he is so smart and beautiful. We’ve had Shepherd for years and Chris really cares about the wellbeing of his pups. Without a doubt I’d recommend him for breeding, training, and boarding. He knows what he is doing and really cares. I’m so grateful for running into one of his other pup’s parents and they shared their praise so we could find Chris. We love our Max!

We’ve been training here since our rescue dog Maya was under a year old. Maya has progressed from Beginner class all the way to Advanced class and now is CGC Certified. She’s come a long way and we credit this to the indoor/outdoor classes and boot camp. They even do Christmas photos :-). I highly recommend Confident Canine Dog Training!

I don’t think I would be able to get another dog from a different breeder or be able to recommend anyone else. I recently got my first German Shepherd from Chris in April 2022 and he’s everything I’ve hoped for and more. Our puppy is social, beyond confident, eager to work and be trained. I can now tell that Chris puts a lot of work into his puppies from the time they are born to when they go home. We have puppy that I can take anywhere and everywhere. We’ve already started taking him for car trips with no problems. Chris picked out the best puppy for my family and I’m so grateful for that. From the beginning Chris has always been there with any questions we had. Chris spoke with my wife and I regarding our family and the type of pet we wanted. We had so much confidence in Chris that we left it up to him to decide on which puppy and gender would fit our family. After receiving our puppy and having him a couple weeks, we couldn’t be anymore happier. Chris picked out a puppy that truly fits our family and lifestyle. Our puppy is great with the kids and is easily trainable. Chris has been a huge help in raising this incredible dog and is always available to answer our questions. From the beginning Chris has always responded to our texts or phone calls immediately and is always available. The day we picked up our puppy, Chris provided us with everything we needed from food to pills. We wish we resided closer and were able to attend his training classes which seem to be great. I’ve already recommended Chris to my family, friends, coworkers or anyone that has inquired where we got our puppy from.
