Your Everyday K9 offers a range of training services including Private Lessons, which provide one-on-one coaching for obedience, behavior issues, and leash manners, focusing on real-life application.

Obedience Training teaches basic commands, leash control, and impulse management for better manners at home or in public. Advanced Training is for dogs ready for off-leash reliability, focus under distractions, and total obedience in any setting.

Testimonials
“Chris is a wonderful trainer! Geo was such an aggressive and reactive dog, and nobody wanted to work with him. He was crate aggressive, and could not be anywhere near strangers. After three weeks of training with Chris I can say that he no longer has any of these problems. Along with this he is also very well mannered and more relaxed all thanks to Chris!”
– Annalisa Russo
“We highly recommend Chris for any dog training needs! Our 8 month old dog, Ruby, was proving tough to break with leash walking, jumping, and overall manners. With 2 other dogs who aren’t perfect, family walks were nearly impossible to do, or when attempted ended quickly in frustration. After a week with Chris she is a completely different dog in a good way! Well-behaved and seems to have a new confidence. We went on our first walk today and had several distractions (mailman, other dogs, squirrels)but she never pulled away once. Chris takes the time to teach you everything your dog learned and makes sure you have the tools to stick with the good behavior. We are very pleased with Ruby!”
– Lauren Urie
“My 7 month old lab puppy completed the two week obedience/off-leash program. He came home more confident, the main issues I struggled with were resolved and both my dog and I have a great set of tools to keep training from home. Initially nervous having my pup away for two weeks but the program worked perfect. The one on one training with Chris was the most valuable. Incredible understanding of dog behavior and also human. Easily explained how I could make training more successful. My dog and I look forward to working together. He is well mannered for a 9 month old, 85 pound pup and our level of trust with one another builds daily. I can’t thank Chris and his staff enough. It’s very rewarding “letting the leash go” And the calmness it’s brought to my house not having an over reactive dog is amazing. Less barking, walks without pulling or tugging, handles himself around other dogs and minds his own business. No avoiding other dogs or difficult situations like I did previously. I highly recommend his services. The properties are well kept, clean and conveniently located on Grand Island. Chris is responsive to questions and inquiries. I plan to use his boarding and training services ongoing.”
