Best By Farr Dog Training

We recently completed a week of puppy obedience training with Chris at Best by Farr for our 6-month-old English Springer Spaniel, Archie—and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Archie is a high-energy pup, and Chris showed incredible patience not just with him, but with us as well while we learned how to properly handle and communicate with our dog. Chris is clearly passionate about what he does. His instructions were clear, straightforward, and easy to follow. In just one week, Archie learned essential commands like sit, stay, place, come, and heel—and more importantly, we learned how to reinforce them at home. Before training, walking Archie felt more like a tug-of-war match. Now, I’m genuinely excited to take him out without worrying about being dragged down the sidewalk. That peace of mind alone made the experience worth every penny. We absolutely recommend Best by Farr to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and effective trainer. Chris gave us the tools and confidence to enjoy life with our pup—and that’s priceless.

We brought our Westie, Clark, to Best by Farr because while he was full of energy and personality, we were struggling with getting him to listen—especially around other dogs. Walks were chaotic, and we knew we needed help. From the very beginning, Chris impressed us with his professionalism and care. He didn’t just take Clark in right away—he thoughtfully evaluated whether Clark was a good fit for his training style and program. That level of integrity really stood out. Throughout the training, Chris was incredibly patient and thorough—not just with Clark, but with us, too. He didn’t just train our dog; he trained us to understand how to reinforce good behavior and create lasting change at home. Clark absolutely loved Chris. Honestly, I don’t think he wanted to leave when it was time to come home! Seeing the progress Clark has made has been amazing—we’re so proud and beyond grateful. Walks are no longer a struggle, and we’ve gained a new level of connection with our pup. If you’re looking for a trainer who is skilled, caring, and truly committed to both the dogs and the humans, I can’t recommend Best by Farr enough.

May, my five month old mini golden doodle, and I had a terrific 6-week individual training experience with Chris! He is very intuitive and knows how to teach concepts and exercises in ways that really resonate and stick with you- he’s a master of analogies! I am utterly amazed at how far May has come! Each session was an hour of clear directions, demonstrations, and encouragement. I can’t recommend Chris enough. I’m looking forward to a long life with a calm, obedient, happy dog with the tools Chris gave us!
