Testimonials
“I took our 3 month old puppy to Chris for training. I can only put one word — AMAZING!!! Our puppy didn’t follow commands before. Now we are super confident taking him to the public area and not worrying about he may misbehave. Chris does a great job!”
– Hange Zhu
“Chris is incredible! Our two dogs–a 7-year-old and a 1-year-old (with aggression issues) both went through his 10-day program, and the transformation was amazing. They came back calmer, more obedient, and much more confident. Chris not only worked wonders with the dogs, but also took the time to teach us how to maintain the training at home. We highly recommend him”
– Lena Caruso
“Chris is amazing. I adopted a 2 year old German Shepherd named Odin, who was about to be euthanized for behavior issues, a month ago… He and his brothers and sisters are all chilling on my bed together as I write this review and 2 weeks ago this was not even possible, at all! Chris helped me save this beautiful fur baby’s life and I will forever be grateful!”
